"Knowing what's important on a neighbourhood level is crucial for planning and creating spaces that reflect the aspirations of those who live there,鈥� said Robert Parlane, parks and building planning manager. "Engaging with residents and considering their needs helps us build facilities that bring people together, strengthen communities, and improve quality of life."

and residents are invited to learn more about the project, share input, and speak with the project team during the  Scarecrow Festival at Lions Park:
