Recreation, Culture and Leisure Master Plan Update

Recreation, culture and leisure services play a vital role in our community and in the lives of residents.

To provide direction on maintaining these important community assets over the next 10 years, the Town of St. Marys is drafting a Recreation, Culture and Leisure Services Master Plan Update.

This document will provide the Town with up-to-date insight on community needs and effective ways to provide quality recreation, culture and leisure facilities, programs and services.

The Master Plan will consider:

• Indoor facilities such as arenas, the pool, cultural spaces, etc.
• Outdoor recreation facilities such as sports fields, courts, event space, etc.
• Parks, trails, and open spaces.
• Service delivery, including programs and services.

The Master Plan is a comprehensive exercise that considers community input, demographic data and growth forecasts, participation and usage levels, trends and best practices, and related community input. Through research and consultation, the priorities advanced in the Master Plan will be evidence-based and respond to needs of residents.

Have your say!

Community engagement is important to ensure that the Master Plan responds to the needs of residents. We want to know how you use parks, recreation, and cultural facilities, and how we can improve public spaces, services, and programs for current and future generations. 

Take our community survey to share information about your household's needs and priorities. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and will be open until June 30, 2024.
