Quesnel Council Highlights - Dec 3rd mtg

Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:

Quesnel Waterfront Development Plan Council approved, in principle, the vision of the Quesnel Waterfront Plan. The Official Community Plan identified potential to capitalize on our community’s unique location of rivers and creeks. The Quesnel Waterfront Plan outlines a short, intermediate and long term vision with guiding themes for our future: destination development, resident attraction, innovative recreation, liveability and Indigenous culture. Urban Systems has identified four key waterfront precincts: Downtown, Railtown, Quesnel River and West Village. The final plan includes input from Council, community stakeholder groups, and the general public, gathered through two rounds of consultation events, including a series of walk-shops, a public open house and an online survey. Next steps will include reviewing the proposed implementation plan with the Executive Committee to identify projects to be included in Council’s current strategic plan and potential grant opportunities for funding. Quesnel Curling Centre – Gas Tax Funds Council approved allocation of $60,000 in Gas Tax Funds in the 2019 Budget to contribute to replacement of the Curling Centre Ice Plant.
