The City of North Battleford is joining up with the Town of Battleford to develop a regional parks and recreation master plan.
Council passed a resolution Monday to commit to working with the Town to develop that master plan. According to a memo from Director of Lleisure Services Cheryl DeNeire, it was evident to both the City and Town that it was prudent to share in developing the master plan, to “improve cost efficiencies and effectiveness in planning and operations.”
Developing a joint master plan would cost $100,000 and the intention is for it to be funded 60 per cent by North Battleford and 40 per cent by Battleford.
The City’s portion of funding will be presented for consideration during the 2019 budget deliberations.
