Origin
Summary
This report recommends a strategy for conducting public and stakeholder consultations for the development of the Recreation Service Plan by Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division (PFR). These external consultations will occur this spring, in May and June, 2011. In order to obtain as much input as possible into the Plan, staff have developed a strategic framework for these consultations, which includes: the launch of a survey to obtain public feedback on our programs and services; four large public consultations, one per Community Council district; approximately 18 focussed consultation sessions with approximately 1400 stakeholder groups. Specific outreach will be made by staff to consult with some of these groups (e.g., newcomer, low income, diverse and other targeted groups) who may not have participated in our previous consultation activities and might not be aware of the division's recreational programs and services. Additionally, staff will provide consultation packages to groups who may want to do their own self-directed consultations and provide their feedback to us.
A similar consultation strategy will be used in the development of the Parks Plan, in order to hold consultations in the fall of this year. A staff report will be forwarded to the July, 2011 Parks and Environment Committee meeting on the public and stakeholder consultation strategy for the Parks Plan.
Where there are overlaps between the two service plans, the report recommends a coordinated approach that will provide ample opportunities for input by stakeholders and interested members of the public in the development of these plans.
