The City has actively engaged the community and gathered valuable feedback through a variety of public engagement opportunities. Residents were invited to share their input and ask questions at staff information booths during several community events, including the Community Services Road Show Expo and the Balmoral Recreation Centre grand opening in Spring 2025. Feedback has also been ongoing at the public display at Earnscliffe Recreation Centre.
In addition, the project was included as part of the 2025 City Budget engagement process, providing another opportunity for residents to learn about the initiative and share feedback on City priorities.
In developing the project scope, we also collaborated with multiple user groups and subject matter experts to ensure diverse perspectives and informed decision-making.
This project aligns with the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which guides the creation of new amenities and facilities based on community needs and resident input. As part of the planning requirements and Site Plan review process, the proposed project scope, along with early layout and design concepts, has also been shared with the Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP) team at the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) for the Bramalea SNAP. A construction notice was delivered to residents in the surrounding neighbourhood to inform them of the project.
