1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 It has been an annual event for some years to orient Council,
the Newcastle Community Services Advisory Board and selected
staff to the Town's "parks system ", highlight capital
projects, new parks provided through the subdivision agreement
and to review on site currant or potential issues. This
orientation has taken the form of a parks bus tour.

REPORT CS -19 -90 - 2 - JUNE 4, 1990
1.2 Traditionally the tour has attempted to visit nearly all park
sites. With the addition of new parks in recent years the
number of potential sites to visit has made itineraries
difficult within acceptable time frames. Many park sites are
familiar to Members of Council and staff propose to
concentrate the tour in the areas where the most change is
occurring, where the currant and potential issues most
frequently occur and where the majority of new parks and
facilities are located.
1.3 Our tentative itinerary (Attachment A) is provided for your
perusal and input. Members of Council are requested to
confirm their attendance and are encouraged to suggest other
locations which you may want the tour to view by contacting
the Community Services Department prior to Friday, June 15th.
A final itinerary will be forwarded prior to the tour.
Arrangements for lunch will be provided within the schedule.
Respectfully submitted,
