The Town of Georgina is preparing a Waterfront Parks Master Plan to establish a vision and framework for implementation and direction for operations and management for Georgina’s waterfront parks. The plan is being done in three parts. The first part focuses on parks along the south shore of Lake Simcoe – Willow Beach Park, Franklin Beach Conservation Area, De La Salle Beach Park, Jackson’s Point Harbour Marina, Malone Wharf and Bonnie Park, Holmes Point Park, and, Mossington Wharf and the Black River to Sutton.
Did you know Sutton is getting a new park? Julia Munro Park is located on Timberbank Square within the Lakeside Meadows subdivision in Sutton.
Council has approved the award of construction contract for the new park. We need your input to determine the importance of permanent washrooms in this park and future community park projects. As well, we’re asking you to consider the impact of future operating costs such as security and cleaning, if permanent washrooms are included.
Mayor Margaret Quirk and Dr. Karim Kurji, medical officer of health for York Region, will answer questions and discuss the latest updates on COVID-19 on Thursday, Oct. 1 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Get information on a variety of topics including masks, testing, the second wave and back to school.
Submit your questions for Dr. Kurji in advance to communications@georgina.ca by end of day Sept. 29. RSVP to the event at facebook.com/TownofGeorgina for the live stream.
