The Township of Huron-Kinloss is inviting proposals for a Parks & Recreation Master Plan.
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides an overall vision, direction, and guidance for making decisions about parks, recreation programs, sport services, and facilities. It is informed by public input and is aligned to strategies and best practices, trends, demographic shifts, and growth forecasts. The Master Plan has a timeframe of ten years (2023 to 2033).
The Plan will define the needs of current and future residents for parks, recreation, facilities, and programs, and identify the appropriate level of service and standards for the sustainability of such service. The Master Plan must be financially viable and address the anticipated demand and time for service and facility improvements or replacement as required, potential locations, costs and funding approaches. The Master Plan will provide a comprehensive and inclusive process to accommodate the full scope of municipal and community parks, recreation, trails, and provide a ten- year vision for the future growth and development of these services and facilities.
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan should:
• Promote active living/healthy environments
• Seek to increase physical activity among all age groups
• Enhance the overall community quality of life
• Enhance volunteer opportunities and participation, broadly.
