Recreation Master Plan

The Village of Nakusp is pleased to announce the launch of a comprehensive Recreation Master Plan. The Village has partnered with Quantum Recreation, a specialized consulting firm, to develop this important initiative to enhance recreational opportunities and services.

The Recreation Master Plan will provide a strategic framework for future recreation development, programming, and facilities based on community priorities and needs.

"This master planning process gives us a valuable opportunity to hear directly from residents about their vision for recreation in our community," said Cavan Gates, Director of Operations. "The input we receive will help shape recreational services in the Village of Nakusp for years to come."

Community Engagement Opportunities

Residents will have multiple opportunities to participate in the planning process:

• Stakeholder Sessions: Meetings with key community organizations and interest groups
• Public Open Houses: Community events where residents can learn about the project and share feedback
• Community Survey: A comprehensive online survey on social media, at the Recreation Complex, Senior Centre and in person during the open house.

The community survey is a critical component of the planning process for understanding the community's needs. Residents are encouraged to share their thoughts on current recreation offerings and future priorities. The survey will be open until February 6, 2026.

"Community input is essential to creating a Recreation Master Plan that truly reflects local needs and aspirations," said Jason Simituk, Project Lead at Quantum Recreation. "We look forward to hearing from residents of all ages and interests about how recreation services can best serve this community."
