Beaver Valley Recreation, Parks & Culture Master Plan
The Beaver Valley Regional Parks and Regional Trails Service is embarking on a Master Plan in recreation.
The purpose of this project is to develop a master plan that will provide guidance to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), Village of Fruitvale and Village of Montrose in establishing priorities for recreation, parks, and culture services in the Beaver Valley.
The project will lead to the development of a well supported plan summarizing community needs for recreation, parks, and culture services in the Beaver Valley. The plan will establish community-based priorities for facilities and programming and provide direction for future recreation, parks, and culture services.
There are several opportunities to provide input toward the plan. All residents, businesses, and community groups in the Beaver Valley are encouraged to participate.
Here are some ways you can provide your input:
Resident Survey
An online survey is available from May 19th – June 23rd, 2023 and can be accessed using the link below:
Paper hard copy surveys will also be available for pick up and drop off at the Village of Montrose and the Village of Fruitvale municipal offices.
Community Group Survey
An online survey is available from May 19th – June 23rd, 2023, on the RDKB’s website. The survey can be accessed using the link below.
