Public Engagement on future of Sam Ketchum Pool

Public engagement consultations regarding the Sam Ketcham Pool in Williams Lake will be taking place on June 8 and 9, 2012 in several locations around the city.

Consultants from Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants Ltd. (PERC) have been contracted to develop the pool feasibility study and will be setting up booths to engage with community members. They will showcase several options for a renovated or new pool. PERC gathered this information from previous visits to the community and meetings with several groups and individuals. The consultants will also provide information regarding the costs and benefits related to each option.

This is an opportunity for community members to provide their opinions and feedback to the consultants and have ongoing dialogue with them. Interested members of the community are encouraged to visit the following locations on June 8 and 9. Be sure your views are heard!

We are very much looking forward to this next phase of the feasibility study, and to hearing the public’s input,” says Councillor Laurie Walters, Chair of the City’s Community Services Committee. “I encourage all members of the community to take the time to speak with the consultants and to share their needs and expectations for the Sam Ketcham Pool.”

The consultation phase of the feasibility study is extremely important. It is an opportunity for members of the community and the fringe Areas of Electoral Areas D, E and F to learn about the proposed project, and provide opinions regarding options being considered,” says Cariboo Regional District Area F Director Joan Sorley.
