Project Update, September 2024

Project Update, September 26, 2024: The engagement summary report from Round 1 of engagement is now available! Through a variety of engagement activities, more than 2,000 participants shared their thoughts about current parks and recreation offerings in New Westminster and ideas about what they want to see in the future.

Thank you to all who participated in Round 1, and congratulations to the recipients of the draw prizes. Thirty participants received a 10-visit ActivePass to Parks & Recreation facilities! We also appreciate your patience while the project team worked to compile, organize and summarize the Round 1 engagement process and findings. There was a large amount of input collected through a diverse range of ways to participate, which led to a longer process for reporting than we originally expected!

The project team is now working with the engagement input and other data to develop preliminary recommendations for the new Parks and Recreation Plan. We plan to share the draft recommendations and seek your feedback on them this winter. Stay tuned for updates and additional opportunities to help shape the plan.
