The Arborg-Bifrost Parks and Recreation Commission (ABPRC) is seeking community input as it plans for the future of its programming.
The Arborg-Bifrost Parks and Recreation Commission is inviting residents to help shape future programming by completing a new public survey available online and at local offices until Dec. 19
Recreation director Tom Chwaliboga said the commission has launched a public survey and will use the results to determine whether changes or additions are needed in its current schedule.
“Our community is changing in a variety of ways, and as a recreation department we need to make sure we’re keeping up,” he said.
The survey is available online at www.townofarborg.com until Dec. 19, with paper copies offered at the town and recreation office. Participants are asked questions about current programming and given opportunities to suggest new ideas.
“The survey is open to anyone who wants to complete it,” Chwaliboga added. “We welcome people to share their thoughts on what they’d like to see offered.”
All responses are anonymous, and Chwaliboga encourages residents of all ages and backgrounds to participate. This survey follows another released in June that targeted students in Grades 6 to 12. The goal is to gather enough input from the broader community to make informed decisions about future programming. Recreation and town staff will compile the data and release it publicly at a later date.
Chwaliboga noted that an additional in-person feedback session may also be held to further discuss options for the ABPRC.
“We hope residents will take part so the Rec Centre can plan to meet everyone’s needs –– preschoolers, adults, newcomers, businesses, organizations, and more,” he said. “Sport and recreation should be available to everyone, and our goal is to get as many people involved as possible. The survey results will help point us in the right direction.”
