Residents invited to provide feedback on Draft Master Recreation Plan

Norfolk County is inviting residents to share their feedback on the Draft Master Recreation Plan, which will be presented to the Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee on Thursday, February 27, at 4 p.m. in Council Chambers, Simcoe. 

The meeting is open to the public and will follow a public hearing format, allowing each speaker up to five minutes to provide their input. Names of speakers will be recorded for the public record. 

Following this meeting, the Draft Master Recreation Plan is expected to be presented at the Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, for further consideration. This meeting provides another opportunity for residents to review the plan, submit comments, and participate through deputations. 

For those who are unable to attend the meeting, comments can be provided through the County’s online engagement tool, EngageNorfolk until Sunday, March 9, 2025. 

With a theme of “Recreation Without Borders,” the Draft Master Recreation Plan aims to shape the future of recreation in Norfolk County by fostering opportunities for leisure, growth, inclusivity, and connection. The plan outlines strategic recommendations for programs, facilities, staffing, and quality-of-life enhancements and will provide a vision and path for the future as the community grows and changes. 

Residents are encouraged to review the Draft Master Recreation Plan, which is available at engagenorfolk.ca/recreation-without-borders.
