Engage with Us! Parksville Aquatic and Recreation Centre

September 7, 2021

On behalf of the City of Parksville, a team of public engagement specialists from HDR Corporation are leading public consultation events over the next few months to discuss the proposed Parksville Aquatic and Recreation Centre or multiplex. Consultation will help gauge the community’s interest in a new facility, identify potential programs and amenities and help determine a suitable site for the multiplex.

In August, HDR spoke with people in the community to gauge their interest in the proposed project. Next steps will include facilitated public engagement events in September and October as well as youth and student engagement.

Virtual Public Meeting - Wednesday, September 29, 6-7 pm
In this virtual listening session via Zoom, the project team will provide a brief history of the project, overview of studies conducted to date and describe the status of the proposed project. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, provide feedback, and share ideas for the facility. If you wish to participate, RSVP to hdr@parksville.ca(External link). We will confirm your space a few days before the meeting and email the Zoom instructions to you. The meeting is a closed event; however, your screen name will be visible to other participants.

In-person Workshops – Wednesday, October 27
Should it be safe to do so, in-person workshops will be held for the community to provide input on the amenities, programs, location, and more. One workshop will in the afternoon and the other in the evening. More details early October.
