    Plan Development

    The draft Recreation and Parks Master Plan will guide recreation services on Gabriola Island and parks services across Gabriola, Mudge and DeCourcy Islands for the next ten years.

    Shaped by input from residents, community groups and partners—gathered through open houses, interviews and a community survey—and developed with the support of the Area B Master Plan Advisory Committee, the draft plan reflects local priorities and outlines key strategies for the future.
