Residents are invited to tell the City ”What Moves You?" and share ideas for the future of Delta’s Parks, Recreation & Culture services. This is the first step in the work to create a master plan that will guide decisions and investments in the City’s Parks, Recreation & Culture services and amenities for the next 25 years.
“We’re taking a thoughtful and forward-looking approach to plan the future of our recreation services and amenities,” said Mayor George V. Harvie. “This is work that matters to everyone, and your voice is essential. By sharing your ideas, you can help shape spaces and programs that truly reflect our community’s priorities, serving people of all ages and backgrounds now and into the future.”
This week, residents should watch for a flyer in the mail with a unique code to complete a survey. The City is also planning several pop-ups at major community events to hear residents’ ideas in person. Community partners and interest groups can also anticipate invitations to meet with staff through the engagement process. Input will be collected through to October 31, 2025. Below are dates for in-person pop-up events:
- September 12-14: Barnside Harvest Festival (All day)
- September 21: Ladders, Lights & Loaders Pop-Up (All day)
- October 4: Sungod Recreation Centre (11:00 am – 2:00 pm)
- October 9: Winskill Aquatic and Fitness Centre (3:30 pm – 7:00 pm)
- October 17: DIYAfest (All day)
- October 29: CityOpen House at North Delta Recreation Centre, Gymnasium (4:30 pm – 6:00 pm)
- October 30: City Open House at City Hall, Foyer (4:30 pm – 6:00 pm)
The City will also take advantage of this engagement program to gather feedback on two other major Parks, Recreation & Culture plans: the John Oliver Master Plan and the City Events Strategy. Residents are invited to provide feedback on the three example layouts for John Oliver Park to help inform a final design, which will be submitted to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) for consideration as well as share ideas to guide future City events.
