The City of Williams Lake, on Thursday, May 12, 2016, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, will hold a Public Open House in the Council Chambers of City Hall, located at 450 Mart Street, to provide an opportunity for any member of the public and/or organization to learn about and provide feedback on proposals to dispose of (sell) five parks throughout the City.
Pursuant to the “Imagine Our Parks, 2020” Plan, the City is considering whether or not to proceed with selling the following five parkland properties:
1. Twelfth Avenue Tot Park;
2. Johnson Street Park;
3. Beauchamp Park;
4. Gibbon Street Park; and
5. Patrick Reid Park.
2. Johnson Street Park;
3. Beauchamp Park;
4. Gibbon Street Park; and
5. Patrick Reid Park.
City staff will provide an overview of the proposal and there will then be an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions and provide feedback. Response sheets will be available.
Information materials presented at the open house will be on display at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Centre from May 14th to 24th, 2016. Response sheets will also be available at City Hall and the Recreation Centre during this time, as well as on the City’s website at www.williamslake.ca. Responses will be received at City Hall and the Recreation Centre until May 24th.
This open house is the first step in a long process. The sale of parkland is one that requires either an assent of the electors or an Alternative Approval Process. Further notice will be provided at future stages of consultation. Notice will be provided on the City’s webpage, social media, and by local newspaper advertisements.
Further information on this open house and the proposals may be obtained at City Hall, or by telephone to Chris Hutton, Planner at (250) 392-1770.
