Thank you for your input throughout the development of the plan!
In the JdFEA, we have:
26 community park sites
8.6 kilometres of trails
6 water access sites (3 lake; 3 ocean)
2 seasonal maintenance staff
An operating budget of approximately $200,000 per year
We can acquire land for community parks when a developer subdivides property. Under provincial legislation, developers are typically required to dedicate 5% of the land for parkland. In certain situations, developers may provide money instead of parkland so that we can acquire parkland in alternative locations. We may also accept parkland from other government agencies or by donation from private sources who wish to have it retained for park or preservation purposes.
The Juan de Fuca Electoral Area (JdFEA) Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission endorsed the Strategic Plan at their May 2023 meeting.
The plan outlines five things we'll focus on over the next decade.
Maintenance: We'll upkeep parks, trails, and amenities.
Environmental Stewardship: We'll preserve and restore nature.
Capital Planning: We'll identify, prioritize, and plot capital projects.
Foreshore Access: We'll examine opportunities for more public access to the ocean and lakes.
Acquisition: We'll acquire parkland as our population grows.
