6-Orono WeekIv Timies,, Wednesday, lune 20, 1990 Town' s 190reacreation -leisure plan outlined- The residents of the Town of Newcastle benefit greatly from the many recreationai and cultural assets within their community, in- cluding parks.and spoirsfietds, in- door facilities such as libraries, museums, arenas, comhmunity cen- tres, and natural features such as the valleylands and waterfront. In addition, many residents are using these important assets, and are ac- tively invoived in sports, recreation, cultural pràgrams, planning, and administration. Within the coin- munity,, there are over 200 active in- terest groups covering every type of leisure activity. The Municipality has experienced considerable population growth in recent years which has put pressure on existing recreationai and cultural facilities. In order to address pre- sent and future needs, the Town wishes to ensure that its physical and human resources are integrated in the best way possible. A coin- prehensive Recreation /Lei sure Master Plan study has just coin- menced which will extend the past efforts of many volunteers, organizations, and Town staff into a clear set of policies, guidelines, and plans for the future. Hough Stansbury Woodland' Limited, in asstociation with Jack B. Ellis and Associates, bas been re- tained to conduct this master plan study in three distinct phases. Phase 1 (May, June, July) will update existing inventories of parks, recreation and cultural pro- gramns, present and future user pro- files; obtain input front organized groups and the public tbrougb surveys; review organizational, and financial capabilities. Phase 2 (August, Sept., Oct.) will focus on the most appropriate Town response for the next ten years, including supply and demand evaluations, impacts of planning and other policies, future social and economic trends; evolve a "future sytem" concept. Phase 3 (Nov., Dec., Jan.) will integrate the findings into a clear plan of action covering new development or improvements, prioities and phasing, organiza- tion, and finance. Public participation will be a key factor in the success of the Recrea- tion/Leisure Master Plan. The con- sultants will be seeking public comn- ments, ideas, and responses througbout the project, and will be contacting people by several methods includîng meetings witb in- terest groups, contact through telephone survey, open bouse displays, and presentations. If you would like to participate, please get involved tbrough any interest group to which you belong, or write: Hough Stansbury Woodland Limited, c/o Community Services Department, Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, 40 Temperance Street, Rowmnanville, Ontario LlC 3A6.
