NEWS RELEASE
TOWN OF ERIN
*************************
The Town of Erin invites residents to participate in the Recreation Community Survey 2025, available now on Erin Engaged. This survey will assist staff in identifying programs and services that address community needs, determine desired amenities for a new community centre, validate data collected in 2021, and update the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
The survey is open until May 18 and residents are encouraged to share their feedback during this period.
For those who prefer to engage in person, the Town will be hosting three community open houses, two in-person and one virtual.
While walk-ins are welcome, attendees are asked to register online, especially for virtual participation, to receive the access link 24-hours in advance.
Community Open House Dates:
Thursday, April 10 – 7 p.m. at Town Hall
Tuesday, April 15 – 5 p.m. at Centre 2000
Wednesday, April 23 – 7 p.m. (Virtual)
Additional opportunities for community interaction with Town staff will be available at upcoming community events, including the Mayor’s Breakfast and the Erin Home and Garden Show in April.
Thompson Park Concept Plans:
Residents are invited to review and provide input on the concept park plans for Thompson Park, located in the new Solmar Erin Glen community development.
Feedback can be shared directly on the plans on Erin Engaged. The public engagement window is open for one week, closing March 23 to facilitate spring construction.
"We are committed to expanding our programming and facilities to meet the needs of the growing community,” said Jennifer McPetrie, Director of Community Services, who encourages residents to participate and help spread the word as this information is critical to our future planning in the Community Services department.
“This survey and public engagement are the first steps in this important process,” she added. “The data collected will guide the future of Erin Community Services and ensure they evolve to enrich our community's quality of life."
