The purpose of establishing a Collingwood Multi-Use Recreation Facility Steering Committee is to ensure diverse, local perspectives are incorporated into Council’s decisionmaking regarding a MURF, by consulting with relevant stakeholders. The Steering Committee is established by the Town of Collingwood to provide Collingwood community perspectives, insights, and advisory recommendations on the outcomes of the Phase 1 Final Report as delivered by Colliers Project Leaders, to assist Council in making decisions regarding a future multi-use recreation facility (“MURF”).
Mandate of the Steering Committee:
1. Review the Phase 1 Final Report, comment on the outcomes from the lens of Collingwood-specific stakeholders and provide advice as a committee on recommended next steps.
2. Provide recommendations that take into account the data collected through community engagement during Phase 1, and that reflect current and future community needs from a Collingwood-centric perspective.
Board Information
The Steering Committee will meet monthly or as deemed necessary to fulfill its mandate effectively. Meetings may take place in-person, virtually, or as a hybrid based on the needs of the membership.
The Steering Committee will consist of seven (7) voting members and three (3) non-voting members, as follows:
• Council Representative: The Mayor of the Town of Collingwood or designated representative.
