The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula values their investments in parks, recreation, and waterfront services. They understand how these investments contribute to the quality of life for full-time and seasonal residents throughout the municipality. They also know how these services can foster community volunteerism through its valued community and service organizations, and how residents can play an important role in shaping their leisure needs.

Municipal Council is tasked by its citizens to make informed and strategic decisions about how to invest tax-payer dollars in the community. These considerations must be balanced with the seasonal influx of visitors who are attracted to the natural features within the community and waterfront areas, and their impact on local resources. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the impact that these visitors have had on the destinations and their support facilities. The development of this Parks and Recreation Master Plan is focused on providing a long-range plan to support community needs, year-round, for all ages and abilities. The municipality took the time to understand the extent to which the community is being served currently through the adoption of the Situational Analysis Report previously provided to Council. The recommendations contained in this master pan are intended to guide the development of parks and recreation services for the next ten years.
