The Corporation of the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake (the “Town”)wishes to developa Parks and Recreation Master Plan (the “Master Plan”) that will allow the Town to strategically manage the direction of parks and recreation services until 2033. 

Firms with an interest in this project must follow the details of this document closely when responding to this request. The Town will only consider applications received from proponents who have registered with Bids and Tenders (the “Bidding System”) and have obtained the RFP directly from The Town’s public purchasing portal at https://notl.bidsandtenders.ca/Module/Tenders/en 

The Town is seeking an innovative approach to parks and recreation planning that will be demand-driven and will strategically integrate the Town’s mandate concerning parks, recreation, and leisure, while at the same time ensuring the priorities and implementation directions are fiscally appropriate for the Town. The Master Plan will allow the Town to guide and manage the direction of parks, open spaces, recreation and leisure services, programs, events, facilities, and amenities. The Town will look for an approach that has regard for the provision of environmentally sustainable, accessible parks and recreation facilities, programs and services that will meet the dynamic needs of the Town.

The Master Plan will guide policy development and service delivery, prioritize demands and opportunities, assess current parks and recreational facilities, playgrounds and programs, existing user fees and cost recovery opportunities, and will include consultation with Town staff.
