Phase Two - Complete

The RDCK completed phase two of Reimagining Recreation Services in the Castlegar & District Area in July. A resident and group survey was shared and was intended to gather resident feedback to help the Recreation Commission of Area I, Area J, and City of Castlegar plan the future of recreation services and understand resident’s thoughts on the following topics:

• What enhancements or additional amenities are needed or desired at the Castlegar & District Community Complex?
• What improvements to recreation services are needed overall in the Castlegar & District Area (outside the Community Complex)?
• What is the community willing or able to fund for potential enhancements or additional recreation amenities?

Information gathered from the resident and group surveys will help determine the communities' priorities for recreation today and identify how the RDCK can improve current programs and amenities offered. In addition, it will determine future recreation planning priorities for the RDCK based on how the community would like their tax dollars spent in the Castlegar & District Area.

Phase One - Complete

The RDCK recently completed phase one of a three-phase process by hosting a series of community meetings throughout Castlegar and Areas I and J.

The intent of the community meetings were to:

1. Inform residents about the consultation process and how it could lead to potential service enhancements.
2. Describe how the engagement process will be completed.
3. Share some information about the current state of recreation services in Castlegar and Areas I and J.
4. Gather thoughts from community members on the future of recreation in Castlegar and Areas I and J.

What Can I Expect?

The Recreation Commission is seeking the public’s input about current services offered and potential enhancements to recreation services in Castlegar and Areas I and J. The Recreation Commission wants to further position the Castlegar & District Recreation Complex as a vibrant community hub.
