Strategic plan for rec centres in Huron
East enters its most crucial stage
Shaun Gregory
Huron Expositor
The three recreational facilities in the
municipality of Huron East have each fin-
ished their sessions with the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural
Affairs (OMAFRA) in an effort to discover
answers as well as a solution to the
$600,000 in total net losses for 2016.
The next step which Vicki Lass, OMA-
FRA's agriculture and rural economic
development advisor says is one of the
most crucial stages in what they are calling
a "strategic plan," is collecting the data
This is a way that Brussels, Morris
and Grey Community Centre, Seaforth
& District Community Centre and the
Vanastra Recreation Centre can achieve
as much "grass root," information as
possible, so they can see what works
and what does not.
"All strategic plans should be sup-
ported by data," Lass said in recent
interview with the Expositor. "What
usually happens, is when you do the
research and put the strategic plan
together and it gets adopted by the
municipality, this is when things start
to happen."
"You start to see the improvement."
Lass' role is to facilitate the recrea-
tional facilities training, so they can
understand how to eventually create a
strategic plan and "go off and do it."
For now, Lass said they aren't quite at
that point of formulating the strategic plan-
ning as the data is still being collected.
Since this point in time is of such impor-
tance, Lass is urging the community to
speak up and participate in bouncing off
any ideas relating to the three facilities.
"The community's voice needs to be
heard, to help them get to the point of a
strategic plan," she said.
The Vanastra Recreation Centre is cur-
rently canvassing door-to-door in and
around the area to find answers to the
questions of how many people reside in
each home, how many people are over
the age of 60 and what programs they
would like to see the facility offer.
"The reason Vanastra is doing that is
they're more service -based where Brussels
and Seaforth are more facility based," stated
the CAO of Huron East, Brad Knight
A number of people have requested a
subsequent meeting to further develop
plans; this is more influenced by the
two other arenas indicated Knight.
