The City of Penticton is doing its best to leave no stone unturned in its quest to be better engaged with the public, especially when it comes to developing the new Parks and Recreation Master plan.
When complete, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan is intended to guide planning and decision-making related to parks and recreation services for the next decade.
Residents might have already participated via the telephone or online surveys, but May 25 is the first chance to give your input in person.
The Community Open House starts at 4:30 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. at the Trade and Convention Centre. It features information panels with feedback encouraged and two interactive workshops where participants will use hands-on approaches to express their priorities.
The workshops will run from 5 to 6 p.m. and again from 7 to 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome and free child minding will be available. The engagement strategy also includes 11 focus group workshops in coming weeks, as well as a telephone survey, tourist survey and pop-up presentation booths to gather more feedback.
The new website, Shape Your City, an online community hub for sharing information and collecting feedback from the community at shapeyourcitypenticton.ca.
