CURRENT ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Trails and Pathways Master Plan Engagement

Trails and Master Plan Project Goals 

The goal of the City of Moose Jaw Trails and Pathways Master Plan process is to create a user-friendly document that provides planning guidelines and recommendations for the City’s trail and pathway network over the next 10 years. The plan will also identify priorities and strategies to meet community needs based on annual funding available for these services. 

The Trails & Pathways Master Plan will also contain the results of community engagement activities including: 

• Household and stakeholder surveys. 
• Interviews and focus groups with various interest groups. 
• Consultation with the Project Team, Advisory Committees, City Council and City Administration. 

  Trails and Master Plan Project Phases & Schedule 
  

Join us for an Open House to discuss the progress on the Trails and Pathways Master Plan on Thursday May 11 from 5:00 – 7:30pm at the Kinsmen Sportsplex (855 MacDonald St W).

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AND ZONING BYLAW

The City of Moose Jaw has begun the process to update its Official Community Plan and Moose Jaw residents are invited to get #NotoriouslyEngaged and provide input along the way. 

What is an Official Community Plan?​

An Official Community Plan (OCP) is recognized by the Provincial Government as a statement of Moose Jaw’s long-term vision for growth and development. It reflects community values and establishes a framework for investment.

The OCP bylaw is adopted by Council as required by The Planning & Development Act, 2007.

What is a Zoning Bylaw?

A Zoning Bylaw implements the policies of the OCP. Its purpose is to:

• establish permitted, prohibited and discretionary land uses by assigning zoning districts;
• outline development standards; and
• identify permit requirements.

PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN 

Moose Jaw City Council has officially adopted the Parks & Recreation Master Plan. 

Since April of 2022, the City of Moose Jaw Parks and Recreation Department and EDS Group have engaged user groups and residents for the development of a 10-year Parks and Recreation Master Plan that will prioritize and strategically guide City programming and infrastructure development/renewal in the future.
