Lloydminster, AB/SK – The City of Lloydminster is launching its first phase of engagement for the Bud Miller All Seasons Park Master Plan. Starting January 30, 2023, residents will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas on the future development of the community’s largest green space.
Bud Miller All Seasons Park is a beloved community asset that serves as a gathering place for residents of all ages. The master plan will guide the park's development over the next 10 years, with the goal of creating a sustainable, accessible and inclusive space for the community to enjoy.
The City of Lloydminster is committed to engaging with the community throughout the master plan process and encourages all residents to participate in the digital engagement campaign. The feedback and ideas collected during the campaign will be used to inform the final master plan, which will be presented to City Council for approval.
The first engagement campaign runs Monday, January 30, to Tuesday, February 21, 2023, and includes a brief digital survey with an opportunity for respondents to provide comments or ask additional questions. The campaign will also include a virtual Question & Answer board, where residents can publicly ask more about the master plan and ask questions of the project team.
