New master plan will set guidelines for Owen Sound's Harrison Park

People can offer their opinions to the city of Owen Sound as work to update the Harrison Park Master Plan gets underway.

Before Monday, September 11, 2023, residents and visitors are invited to take the online survey and offer feedback.

It's been 21 years since the Harrison Park Master Plan was created. It is now an excellent opportunity to review and update the Harrison Park Master Plan because many of the recommendations have been carried out since it was established.

Using current staff resources, internal procedures are being followed for the 2023 Harrison Park Master Plan. To help with the specific proposals surrounding the waterfowl area and bird sanctuary, a consultant will be hired.

The survey, supporting documents, and next-step information are available through the City’s online engagement platform at OurCity.OwenSound.ca/Harrison-Park-Master-Plan. The survey is also available, either in paper format or by scanning a QR Code, at the City Hall service counter.

In addition to the survey, public engagement sessions will be occurring at the Community Centre at Harrison Park on Thursday, August 24 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Thursday, September 7 between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., and on Monday, September 11 from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m.
