The Township of Centre Wellington is excited to embark on the development of several key strategic Recreation and Parks Plans.

  • Parks & Recreation Needs Assessment
  • Parks Plan
  • Parks and Recreation Plan
  • Indoor Multi-Use Recreation Facility Feasibility Study

These plans will provide a roadmap to enhance and grow the Township’s parks and recreation facilities and services for residents, user groups, and visitors now and into the future. These Plans will guide decision-making across all aspects of parks and recreation, from playgrounds to facilities and everything in between. Ensuring key priorities set out in the Township’s 2023-2026 Strategic Plan will be the overarching document for these future Plans.

The consulting team led by MGA-McQueen Galloway Associates has been retained by the Township to complete all phases of this multi-faceted project. MGA understands communities like the Township of Centre Wellington and the complexity of balancing community needs and financial sustainability for the Township’s population growth.

Engagement Opportunities

Community engagement is an essential part of the project. It helps build a common understanding of the issues and empowers residents to have their say in the future of the Township. MGA and the team have developed an extensive community engagement program to ensure we hear from everyone in the community. This will include interviews, focus group sessions, workshops, community meetings, and a statistically valid community-wide survey. The consultants will work with the community to ensure your concerns and ideas are incorporated in the development of the Plan(s) where possible.

  • User group interviews
  • Statistical survey (mailed to approximately 13,000 households) on October 21.
  • Youth engagement – September/October
  • Community Engagement Workshop - September/October
  • Township Open House - Tuesday, October 22, 6-8 p.m., CW Community Sportsplex
