Level of Engagement

This project has been classified as an Involve project based on the International Association of Public Participation Spectrum. This means we work directly with the public, stakeholders, and rightsholders throughout the design process to ensure that ideas and aspirations are understood and considered in the design for the parks.

In this phase, the City will work with community members and the Stakeholder Advisory Group to identify priorities for the park improvements, including a vision and guiding principles for each park. This input will inform the development of design options, which will be presented in Community Engagement Phase 2.

The community engagement activities anticipated in this phase include:

  • an online survey
  • park pop-up events
  • a Stakeholder Advisory Group meeting

In this phase, the City will use the outcomes of Community Engagement Phase 1 to develop design options for the improvements at the parks. These options will be presented to the community and the Stakeholder Advisory Group for feedback, which will help inform the final designs for the parks.

The community engagement activities anticipated in this phase include:

  • an online survey
  • a Stakeholder Advisory Group meeting

In this phase, the final designs for the parks will be shared with the community and the Stakeholder Advisory Group on this page and with the project mailing list. The project will then move into the detail design phase, where the design team will work through the technical details and plans for the construction contractor.
