Work is well underway
on master master plan and study
The Wingham and Area
Recreation Master Planning
Committee has been Meeting since
September to do the ground work for
the recreation master plan, which
should be completed by November.
The committee's goal is to
examine the leisure needs of the
people in Wingham and area and
develop a five-year plan to guide
town council's decisions concerning
recreational development.
The plan will be available as well
for the township councils of Morris,
Turnberry and East Wawanosh for
their use.
Wingham Town Council requested
the master plan be completed and, if
necessary, a feasibility study.
Without this ground work, the town
would not be eligible for any
provincial grants for new recreation
facilities.
A master plan ev luates the
existing supply of cultural and
recreational programs, facilities
and open spaces. It assesses present
and future demand to formulate
practical guidelines for the
provision of cultural and
recreational opportunities.
At this point, the terms of
reference have been completed and
have been accepted by the Wingham
Recreation Board and approved by
Wingham Town Council. The
provincial grant has been applied
for and the committee is waiting for
a reply.
Anyone requiring further in-
formation should contact the
recreation department at 274
Josephine Street or telephone 357-
1208.
