Survey finds interest in local events; council to mobilize volunteers for low-cost activities
Summary
Council reviewed survey results showing community interest in events and services (senior and youth activities, health screenings). Members described volunteer sign-ups (~30 volunteers) and asked staff to coordinate a small-events wish list for infrastructure funding opportunities.
Council reviewed survey feedback that highlighted interest in low-cost community activities, volunteer events, and services for older residents and youth retention. Members said about 30 residents signed up to help with events and discussed partnerships with local groups (Boys & Girls Club, Boy Scouts, PeaceHealth) to provide health screenings, activity nights, and intergenerational programs.
Council urged staff to compile a short wish list of infrastructure or program needs tied to possible grant funding (examples discussed included park improvements and small equipment for community events). The chair and members said staff will follow up by contacting local health providers and youth organizations to explore feasible low-cost offerings and identify volunteer event leaders.
