Parks & Recreation Services Seeking Feedback On The Park Community Centre

December 4, 2020

Brandon, MB – Parks & Recreation Services is seeking the public’s feedback on the future of Park Community Centre. With major renovations needed to bring the aging facility up to code, administration is engaging with the public to better understand how residents use this facility and what is important to them, now and into the future.

The City of Brandon adopted the Recreation and Community Facilities Master Plan in 2019, which explored community centres in depth and made key recommendations such as the consolidation of some facilities, the renewal of others and increased support from the City of Brandon. These recommendations, paired with the state of repair of Park Community Centre, bring about a need for community discussion.

An open house event was originally planned for November 5th however with the Province entering into a Code Orange restriction level meant the consultation had to be cancelled.

In lieu of an open house, Parks & Recreation Services are inviting residents to attend a webinar for one of these two times:

·         Thursday, December 17th from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

·         Thursday, December 17th from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Following review of all input, it is anticipated that information will be presented to Brandon City Council for consideration as they plan for the future.

The City of Brandon encourages all members of the public, whether they utilize Park Community Centre or not, to register for a webinar to ensure that any recommendations made to Brandon City Council reflect community needs.

Residents wishing to register for a webinar or make general inquiries can reach Parks & Recreation Services at 204-729-2257 or recreation@brandon.ca
