Active Living Centre - Draft Design Options
The 2018 Greater Vernon Recreation Master Plan specifically identified the need for the following facilities as the highest priority:
• Indoor aquatics facilities
• Community gymnasiums
• Dedicated programming spaces
• Fitness space
• Indoor Walking/Jogging Track
Public participation is paramount to the success of the Feasibility Study and we recognize the importance and value of engaging residents, stakeholders and partners in decision making. As such several engagement opportunities have taken place to understand community needs, including:
• Focus Groups • Pop-up events • Open Houses • Surveys • One-on-one interviews
A total of six focus groups were held in the fall of 2019 to gather a first round of feedback for the Feasibility Study. The focus groups were made up of participants from a wide range of user groups.
An online survey was open from October 21 to November 17, 2019.
389 unique users completed the survey.

Aquatic Centre have been prepared for your consideration. These design options
