City seeks input on pet use, sponsorship, and memorials in parks
Whether you use parks to gather, unwind, exercise, socialize, play, or celebrate, let us know how parks can be better for you!
The City of Kitchener is continuing public engagement to inform our Parks and Open Space Strategy through Places and Spaces. We are now looking for feedback on how pets use parks and how you feel about the sponsorship of parks to allow for external funding opportunities. We also want to know how you would like to see parks used as dedication and memorial spaces, and how you would like to use alternative spaces, like cemeteries and schoolyards. The survey is open until April 8.
In addition to online engagement through EngageKitchener, in-person opportunities will be made available, when COVID restrictions allow. The Places and Spaces strategy will guide the City’s decision-making and future investment in park amenities, facilities, and infrastructure for the next 10 years or more.
For more information and to complete the current survey, visit engagewr.ca/placesandspaces.
Additional parks-related surveys on EngageKitchener include:
- Places and Space: winter use and parks education (closes April 8)
- Shape your park network: Idlewood, Kinzie, Oaten, and Fergus Green (extended to March 14)
- Centreville Chicopee Community Centre outdoors pace upgrades (closes March 21)
Land acknowledgement
The City of Kitchener is situated on the traditional territory of the Chonnonton, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee Peoples. We recognize our responsibility to act as stewards for the land and honour the original caretakers who came before us. Our community is enriched by the enduring knowledge and deep-rooted traditions of the diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who live in Kitchener today.
