Community Recreational Needs Assessment
The Community Recreational Needs Assessment (CRNA) will provide a refreshed vision for recreation in the Town of Goderich. The CRNA will identify the types of recreation facilities that are needed by the year 2030 along with ways that the Town can provide them in a financially responsible manner.
The CRNA is being led by Monteith Brown Planning Consultants Ltd. and overseen by a Recreation Review Ad Hoc Committee consisting of elected officials, Town staff and Goderich residents. The planning process involves considerable research including the Town’s demographic characteristics, the current state of existing recreation facilities, and needs across Goderich. Public and stakeholder engagement is a critical component of the CRNA and we want to know how you use recreation facilities, along with your ideas about how we can improve for future generations.
