Recreation & Parks Master Plan

City of Pickering – Recreation and Parks Master Plan

Staff Survey

 

The City of Pickering is developing a plan to address future recreation and parks needs over the next ten years. This will include resident’s needs, trends, facilities, programs, services, and internal policies and procedures. We will also reach out to residents, community groups, and key stakeholders to hear from a broad range of people. Our aim is to continue to support a high level of service delivery within Pickering. 

 

With over 300 full-time and part-time staff delivering programs and services, your voice is important! We would ask that you complete the following survey to help inform the development of the plan no later than Wednesday August 16, 2023

 

Please note that this survey is anonymous and will only be used in summary form by the consultants leading the study. Should you have any questions specific to the survey or project, please contact Steve Langlois, Principal Planner, Monteith Brown Planning Consultants, slanglois@mbpc.ca
