It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council forthwith;
1. THAT Report CS -35 -94 be received for information
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The Community Services Department encourages official openings
for parks and facilities to assist the public in becoming
aware of the park and recreational opportunities available in
the community. These ceremonies will also provide an
opportunity for neighbours to socialize with each other which
they might not otherwise have. In appropriate situations it
allows the public and the Town to express appreciation to the
developer who has financed and constructed the park. Two
parks have been completed this year for which official
ceremonies are being planned.
2.0 OFFICIAL CEREMONIES
2.1 The official ceremony for each park will be site specific and
will be advertised through individual news releases to the
media. Invitations will be extended to the local public by
way of a flyer delivered to the residences.
2.2 The ceremony will consist of a welcome extended to the public,
an introduction of guests, a brief history of the park, its
size and area of its service, and an official ribbon cutting
ceremony. Refreshments will be served to the public.
