We are going to be making decisions soon about the next steps for the North Peace Leisure Facility amenity options and cost, and we’d like your input. We hope to see residents from the four partner jurisdictions at the open houses taking place this week, where you can learn more about what was shared by residents at workshops and provide your feedback.

We also recognize that this is a busy time of year, and there is a lot going on in our area right now, including wildfire impacts and supporting evacuees. If you can’t make it to an open house, please take the time to share your input in the online survey before May 27, 2024: https://haveyoursay.prrd.bc.ca/nplf

You may also receive a phone call from Research Co asking for your input about the North Peace Leisure Facility project, please take a few minutes to complete this statistically valid survey of community views.

The open houses are from 5:30 - 8:30 pm. All open houses have the same content; you can drop by any time during the open house, and no registration is required.

Here are the final three open houses:
Wednesday, May 15 - Taylor Community Hall 9896 Cherry Ave. West, Taylor.
Thursday, May 16 - Charlie Lake Elementary School 12655 Charlie Lake Frontage Rd., Charlie Lake

📢 We’re hosting open houses for the North Peace Leisure Facility project this week!

This is your opportunity to ask questions and provide your feedback on the ideas and input shared by residents during the April workshops.

We’re looking for your feedback on project cost and tax impacts, priorities for amenities balanced with cost and level of support for the project and potential options.

All open houses will have the same content, and no registration is required.

📢 An additional virtual workshop has been added for the North Peace Leisure Facility project on April 25 from 7-9pm!

📲 Register for the workshop: prrd.eventbrite.com

These workshops have capacity limits as they are designed to provide participants with time to ask lots of questions and share their input, so we are working in virtual breakout rooms with a facilitator.

If you can't make it to a workshop there are still many participation opportunities available to make sure your feedback is included in the next steps of the process!

◾ We will be hosting open houses in May along with a community survey, which will provide additional opportunities for input.

◾ The presentation for the virtual workshops is being recorded and will be posted on the Have Your Say project page.

◾ Residents can provide feedback at any time by submitting questions via the project page, or by emailing a member of the project team.

📌 Please note that the costs being presented for this community engagement are rough estimates based on the best information we have available given the stage of planning we are at.

📌As this project would require borrowing money, it would be subject to a voting process through a referendum; if even one jurisdiction votes against the project, it would be paused and reassessed. No final decisions on taxation have been made at this point in time.

📲 Learn more about the options for a new facility and the cost estimates, or email a member of the project team: haveyoursay.prrd.bc.ca/nplf

A new multi-use aquatics and recreational facility is being considered to replace the existing North Peace Leisure Pool.

Using input shared by our communities, we created several options for a new facility and developed cost estimates. The costs were higher than anticipated, and we’re concerned about the impact on taxpayers.

We’re reaching out to our communities to work with residents to find the right balance between costs and preferred amenities at a new facility.

To have your say, please participate in an upcoming workshop in-person in your community or online. You are welcome to attend the workshop that works best for your schedule.
