Rural Enderby residents have had their say on shaping their community and can now learn more about the plans at some upcoming focus group discussions.
The phase one survey results for the Electoral Area F (rural Enderby) Official Community Plan review are in. A total of 318 surveys were returned representing a 16 per cent response rate from residents.
Of the feedback received it was identified that the community is interested in exploring and developing policies that relate to (in no particular order): agriculture, parks and trails, economic development, sense of place/overall vision for area F and the natural environment.
Following these results, two focus group discussions are scheduled. The first takes place Monday, June 1 at the Grindrod Community Hall (6920 Highway 97A) from 6:30 to 8 p.m. A second discussion gets underway Tuesday, June 2 at the Kingfisher Community Hall (3337 Enderby Mabel Lake Road) from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
“These meetings will be facilitated by RDNO staff and all five topic areas will be covered at each meeting” said Laura Frank, RDNO sustainability coordinator. “The goal of these discussions will be to delve into the topics in greater detail while utilizing the survey feedback as a starting point.
“We hope to explore issues and concerns and identify new policies which will contribute to and reflect area resident’s vision for their future”.
The focus group discussions are open to the general public and everyone is encouraged to participate.
