Recreation

As part of our newly created Parks and Recreation department, and in keeping with the recommendations of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, the Township of East Zorra-Tavistock is seeking members of the community to sit on the Recreation Advisory Committee (RAC). We are looking to fill six (6) volunteer positions, with two (2) members from each of our three electoral wards (Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3).

This Committee will help provide a voice and forum for recreational organizations, and community groups in East Zorra-Tavistock, as well as help identify recommendations regarding community parks, green space, trails, recreational facilities, and programming.

The preferred members will have an interest or experience in recreation and must be a resident of the Township. This will be a volunteer position with a minimum commitment to attend four (4) meetings a year. The meetings will be held in a rotating location within the Township and will be open to the public to attend.

To apply, applicants must submit a cover letter and resume, outlining why they would like to be considered as a member of this committee. Applications will be received until 4:30 pm on Friday January 27th, 2023 and must be sent to hr@ezt.ca

Thank you to everyone who has already filled out the project survey and youth survey , and to those who have encouraged other community members to do the same.

The feedback received from the public will directly guide the parks and recreation project recommendations, such as what amenities and/or programming should be provided in the future.

The project surveys will close for feedback on August 27th, 2021 at 11:45pm.

If you or anyone you know has yet to fill out the survey, please encourage them to do so prior to the survey closing date.

Visit the Parks and Recreation Master Plan website for updates along the way.

The Township has embarked on the exciting endeavour to create a strategic Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Master Plan will be used to guide Council and staff in the strategic management and decision making process for the future of parks, trails, recreation facilities, and programming with the Township.

We encourage you to attend one of the Public Open Houses being held on Wednesday August 11, 2021 and Thursday August 12, 2021 so that you may get involved in the master plan process and provide your input. This is your opportunity to ask questions and influence change within your community!
