The City of Vernon is seeking more input for its Recreation Master Plan for the Great Vernon area.
If you received a recent survey in the mail, you are one of only 5,000 to get one.
"There is a lot of different ways we are engaging the public, and they have an opportunity to give us feedback on what they see are the priorities moving forward of recreation in the community," says Doug Ross, director of recreation services with the City of Vernon.
A working group between the planning departments in City of Vernon, The regional district and the District of Coldstream put together mailing lists for those communities, and people were randomly selected to participate.
"It is so we get a diverse response," says Ross. "We are making sure we are hitting all of the socioeconomic areas of the different communities."
The 5,000 surveys are what is called a 'control group.' Once the surveys are completed online, the survey will be released to the Greater Vernon public.
The Recreation Master Plan public engagement process aims to identify priorities and recommendations regarding the provisions of recreation facilities, active lifestyle opportunities and recreation services to meet the needs of residents and visitors over the next 15 years.
