Frequently Asked Questions: New Dundee Parks Improvement Project: Part II

"Will there be a Public Meeting to discuss the features of the project?"


A few people have asked committee members about a public meeting to formally collect feedback on the park and ball diamond designs - I think an opportunity to have formal public input would be beneficial and welcomed by many; we are currently discussing the logistics of holding a Public Information Centre (PIC) in the New Year to collect feedback and enhancements. More information will certainly follow on this.


"I have sent emails to the contacts on the fundraising brochure but have had no response."

It came to my attention this morning that in addition to some of the contact information on the community fundraising brochures being incorrect, my own address was incorrect. This mistake is extremely unfortunate. Please note that my correct email address is elliot.fung@wilmot.ca. If you have sent me an email and I have not responded, please forward it to the address mentioned above.

"Are the features and design on the "Concept Diagrams" final, can they be changed? "

Everyone's comments and feedback are welcomed and encouraged. Please either pass them on to any member of the committee (list located on the back of the brochure) or contact myself or Rick Berry directly. For example, the "Concept Diagram" for the community park includes the features that I and the Township felt were potential enhancements; feedback and comments from user groups had been received in the past which helped to generate these ideas. For instance, is the placement and size of the pathway and playground set in stone? Not at all! While the total amount of funding is static, the placement, size etc. of feature enhancements are certainly open to consideration.
