Program Design and Development

Communications and Engagement

Program design and development will be implemented by a collection of sub-divisions, each of which is responsible for a specific type of programming:

Community outreach and engagement will continue to be an important part of plan implementation both in terms of the continued planning of individual parks and programs, and also in terms of promoting the use of those parks and programs (existing and new). The Communications and Engagement sub-division will be the lead entity ensuring that the planning processes and promotion of parks and programs is reaching a wider audience and providing valuable information and input opportunities.

The Communications and Engagement sub-division will also specifically be responsible for the implementation of community outreach and engagement recommendations nested under Citywide Strategies B and D.
