PRP Committee of the Board Member
Westhill Trailer Court (Permanent Trailer Court #3)
The Palliser Regional Park (PRP) Board Authority, defined as the Park Manager/Administrator and the Regional Park Board, wanted to create an advisory body made up of park patrons that represent different areas of the Park to assist them with the operation and management of the park. The different areas the Board Authority defined to be part of this advisory body were the camp grounds, permanent trailer courts, and cottages in the park. The PRP Committee of the Board was struck after a series of meetings between the Park Manager/Administrator, members of the Park Board Authority, and various representative groups from within the park during the month of July 2013, and the policy making it an official committee was passed by the Board Authority at the 10 Apr 2014 meeting.
One of the main goals of the PRP Committee of the Board is to foster a sense of community within the park, which seems to be disappearing with every passing year. A secondary goal is to enable information sharing on a much wider scale than is currently in place. We're all in this together, and together we can make the park one of the best places to be during the ever-so-brief summer.
PRP Committee of the Board Structure:
The intention is to have one representative from each area defined by the Board Authority. The method of the appointment of an area representative is left to the patrons of each respective area to manage. This representative would become responsible to attend Committee of the Board meetings, where they would share patron concerns from their area and provide input on issues and decisions affecting their represented area(s) and the park as a whole. They would also be responsible for disseminating information relevant to their area amongst the patrons they represent. Suggested additional duties are listed following.
After a Committee of the Board meeting, a delegated representative from the committee will bring forward issues and concerns raised to the Park Manager/Administrator and/or schedule a delegation at an upcoming Board Authority meeting. The delegation would have no formal voting or decision-making rights at Board Authority meetings, but would be encouraged to represent the views of the Committee of the Board to the Board Authority while considering the best interests of the park as a whole.
Current members of the Committee of the Board are:
There have been no meetings of the Committee of the Board to date, but there has been shared correspondence. If you wish to become a member of the Committee of the Board, please contact the Park Office to discuss how you may accomplish this.
