Residents have their say on 10-year community services plan
The City of Prince Albert hosted the first of two open house events last night to let residents give input on the city’s 10-year community services master plan.
Large display boards were set up in the lobby of the Art Hauser Centre outlining details of the plan. The boards were the results of previous public surveys and the processes the city uses when deciding which capital projects to build. City representatives and consultants were on hand to chat with the public on a come-and-go basis, and a brief written survey was available to provide more detailed feedback.
Jody Boulet, director of community services, said the open houses represent a final opportunity for residents to have their say before the plan goes before council for final approval. So far, he said, their public polling indicates new pool facilities – both indoor and outdoor – are in demand in Prince Albert.
“There have been some initial things that the community has been very vocal about,” Boulet said. “Aquatics has been the number one priority that people have pointed to.”
