An update on the Recreation, Culture and Library Action Plan (RCLAP) is being presented to Council on May 25. This update outlines the next steps following Council’s initial feedback on May 11 and sets the stage for further direction on key community projects.
What’s happening next
- Council direction
Key decisions, including the future of the Beeton Community Centre, the indoor pool, and the sports dome, will be reviewed at an upcoming Council Working Session. - Plan refinement
Staff will update the draft plan to reflect Council’s direction before bringing it back for further discussion. - Public engagement
Community engagement will take place after updates are made, giving residents the opportunity to provide feedback on a clearer, more defined plan. - Final plan
Council will receive the final plan later this year, along with community feedback, for approval.
This approach ensures community input is focused, meaningful, and based on realistic, Council-supported options.
