The Municipality of Pictou County continued with its community sessions on Let's Talk Recreation and Active Living Thursday with a stop in District One at the Merigomish Community Centre.
As part of its strategic recreation plan, the Municipality is seeking input from community groups and residents on how it can enhance recreation and physical activity opportunities in the County. Information collected will be used to shape the future of recreation services to better meet the active living needs of people living in rural Pictou County.
Upcoming community sessions will take place from 6:30-8:30 p.m.:
January 15 - Royal Canadian Legion in River John
January 17 - IOOF Hall in Thorburn
Municipal and Council representatives will be in attendance as well as Frank Gallant of Peak Experience Consulting who has been contracted to facilitate the development of the strategic recreation plan for the Municipality of Pictou County.
In December, “kitchen table” chats were held in Scotsburn, Alma, Eureka and Little Harbour with opinions voiced from all ages and it is important everyone has input on how they can be more active in rural Pictou County.
Points taken from these meeting can now be viewed on https://www.peak.ca/pictou-recreation and will be updated as the sessions continue throughout January.
