Recreation and leisure opportunities are essential for our personal health and well-being, helping to build strong families and a healthy community. Boissevain-Morton’s recreation infrastructure is aging and is in need of investment for the benefit of our residents and our community as a whole.
Redevelopment Plan
Last spring, the Municipality completed its recreation master plan with HTFC Planning and Design. This process included a comprehensive review of recreation infrastructure, community needs, and future recreation needs. Based on the values and vision for community recreation, the redevelopment plan will guide and assist with future planning, investment, and delivery of recreation services in Boissevain-Morton.
Recreation Review
A committee comprised of council members and staff conducted a comprehensive review of the recreation department to identify how the Municipality could improve recreation service delivery to residents. The process included reviewing municipal recreation facilities, programming, budgeting, and organizational framework. The outcomes from the review include a new recreation by-law, board re-structuring, and increased staffing resources allocated to recreation service delivery.
New Arena
As a result of the Redevelopment Plan, a new location has been chosen for our local arena; it will be at the corner of Egan and South Railway. Although grant funding has yet to be secured, the Municipality will proceed with planning and fundraising initiatives due to the age and condition of the existing arena. Fundraising will begin shortly – stay tuned for details or contact Kara Paradis at 204-534-2433 or admin@boissevain.ca
Swimming Pool
The Boissevain-Morton Pool is the heartbeat of our community during the summer months and this past season experienced record high numbers. Due to its age and deteriorating condition, the pool is at the end of its lifespan and the Province of Manitoba has deemed 2022 will be its final season of operation. A new pool facility is in the works with construction to begin in the fall of 2022, with a planned opening in summer 2023. Funding has been secured and will not require any municipal borrowing.
Open House
A recreation public open house will be held on Wednesday, February 16 at 7:00 pm at the Boissevain Legion. This is an opportunity to learn more about community recreation plans and share your feedback.
