Input Sought On Parks Plan

Sep 17, 2018 | 1:00 PM

The Regional District of North Okanagan is looking for public input on the Parks Master Plan for Electoral Areas B and C  — which is BX, Swan Lake and Silver Star.

The plan will outline priorities park development, land acquisition, and trail development over the next 20 years.

“Developing this plan will enhance health and well-being, provide environmental protection for the areas and have a part in improving our residents’ quality of life,” says Keith Pinkoski, Parks Manager. “Through this process we will seek feedback on recreational activities, the amount of parks available in the area, park maintenance and amenities.”

Residents can attend information sessions, where they can ask questions and provide feedback:

-BX Ranch Dog Park | Tuesday, September 18, 2018 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.
-BX Fire Hall | Wednesday, September 26, 2018 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.
– Mutrie Dog Park | Tuesday, October 2, 2018 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Residents unable to attend those sessions can provide feedback through an online survey at www.rdno.ca/parksurvey until October 12, 2018.

Pinkoski says the planning process for the project will continue through the end of 2018, with a target timeline for adoption of the final master plan in early 2019.
