The Parks Master Plan has two components.
Parks Master Plan
Our region is rich with parkland, including:
- 814 hectares of parkland
- 102 playgrounds
- 130 kilometres of maintained trails
The Parks Master Plan guides planning, development, management and investment to manage and sustain that parkland for the next ten years. It was developed in six phases, which included research and public consultation.
The plan offers general recommendations, and neighbourhood-specific recommendations. Read the details in the document below.
Urban Forest Strategy
Urban forest is one of the most important contributors to a high quality of life in our region. Trees offer environmental, social and economic benefits.
The Urban Forest Strategy guides the Municipality's efforts to protect and sustain urban forests. It offers recommendations to be implemented over the next 20 years.
