City asks residents for more feedback on future of recreation services

Summary: The City of Ottawa is calling on all residents to have their say on the future of parks and recreation services.

The City of Ottawa is calling on all residents to have their say on the future of parks and recreation services. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan was presented to the Community and Protective Services Committee (CPS) today. It has been posted onottawa.ca and is now open to public feedback.

Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services began developing a Master Plan in order to provide residents with better parks and recreation services in Ottawa. The completed Master Plan will provide the direction for recreation services in the City for the next 10 to 15 years.

Since last May, residents have provided feedback on three main topics: service delivery, accessibility and inclusion, and tax support, subsidization and revenue generation. The public input and staff responses formed the basis of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan report which was tabled today. The report will be considered by the CPS Committee once the public has had a chance to respond to the report’s recommendations and guiding principles.

The report is available to all residents, groups, organizations and associations on ottawa.ca/recreation. To have your say, send an email to recreationmasterplan@ottawa.ca.
