The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is inviting adults 18+ to fill out a survey about what ice activities they do and what ones they are interested in or trying in the future. If you currently use the Comox Valley ice rinks for adult activities or wish other programs were offered the CVRD wants to hear from you.
“As our community grows, so do the demands on our facilities and needs of residents,” explains CVRD Senior Manager of Recreation Services, Jennifer Zbinden. “Public programming is our number one priority and we want to understand what users want and need but it is also very important to ensure that we meet the needs of a large cross section of user groups – not just our traditional users. We realize there may be a demand for services we have not offered before and want to hear that feedback. ”
Youth programming is not part of this engagement as the current ice allocation policy gives youth programming priority status. The focus of this ice engagement is for adults 18+ who live within the Comox Valley. The results of this survey will help the CVRD’s recreation team plan for future ice allocation and facility planning.
If you are 18+, currently use the ice rinks or want to please provide your input. The survey will be open until February 6, 2022 and can be found at www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/adultice. Once the survey is complete, you can be entered into a draw for a one year CVRD family membership (valued at over $1,000).
Current ice users and renters will be invited to be part of additional engagement opportunities that will dive deeper into ice needs and equality. Details will be provided directly to those individuals through email communication in the coming months.
The Comox Valley Regional District is a federation of three electoral areas and three municipalities providing sustainable services for residents and visitors to the area. The members of the regional district work collaboratively on services for the benefit of the diverse urban and rural areas of the Comox Valley.
