The City of Kenora is developing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan to ensure you have access to recreation opportunities now and into the future. The Master Plan will be a guiding document for the City to manage the direction of parks and recreation through 2032 and ensure the community has appropriate access to parks and recreation opportunities through sound planning and balanced decision-making for the future. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan will promote active living, healthy environments and increased physical activity among all age groups and segments of our community. The new Master Plan is scheduled to be completed early in 2022. 

Get involved

Stay tuned for your opportunity to share your thoughts on parks and recreation in the City of Kenora. You will have many opportunities to provide input over the next few months.

Surveys

The surveys and mapping tool are now closed. 

Project timeline

  1. Public consultation, October to November 2021
  2. Analysis and strategy development, December 2021 to January 2022
  3. Final Parks and Recreation Master Plan, February 2022

Purpose of the Master Plan

The Master Plan will provide staff and Council with a strategic plan that will guide future actions and how to best meet community needs for parks, recreation and related activities (arts, culture and leisure) now and in the future. In addition to this overarching objective, the project will:

  • Identify potential capital project priorities;
  • Optimize service delivery (operations, partnerships, funding allocations, etc.);
  • Guide asset management practices; and
  • Provide Council and administration with a point of reference that can help inform decision making and ensure these decisions are data driven and transparent.

How will my input shape the Master Plan

Your input is really important! Feedback from residents, community groups, and other parks and recreation stakeholders, will give the project team important insights into strengths, needs, gaps and opportunities. These insights and other research and analysis being conducted, including a review of current assets, population and demographics, trends research, will help the project team identify future priorities and focus areas. 

Will I have a chance to view the draft Master Plan

Yes, before the Master Plan is finalized, you will have a chance to review and provide feedback on the draft Master Plan (likely in late 2021 or early 2022). Given the evolving situation with COVID-19, we aren’t sure if this review opportunity will occur in-person or virtually. Stay tuned for updates posted here.

Who is developing the Master Plan

The City has retained a consulting team led by RC Strategies, a parks and recreation specialist planning firm. City staff will work closely with the consulting team on all aspects of the project.
