Have ideas on what Port Moody should do with the Kyle Centre?
Be sure to share them at an input session tomorrow (Saturday), and help shape the city's future growth and the amenities available to residents. This community fair follows on a similar event held earlier this month, when residents were asked for ideas on the future of the old fire hall and public works yard sites at Ioco Road and Murray Street.
Kyle Centre, located behind the PoMo Arts Centre, is 40 years old and its small size and limited function, not to mention the significant repairs it requires, mean it has reached the end of its lifespan.
"The building is in need of major repairs or replacement, so we have an opportunity to re-imagine how this key facility can best serve residents in the future," Mayor Mike Clay said in a release.
Improving Kyle Centre is part of PoMo's strategic plan and council and staff are hoping to get a broad range of public input. The city owns parcels of land around the centre and the site as a whole could support some housing as well as a new community centre or other amenities.
The community feedback sessions are part of a broader effort to plan the future of several city parcels with much-needed amenities in mind, including a new library, Inlet Field and more.
Staff are on hand at the sessions to talk to participants and answer questions; there will also be facilitated exercises, a video feedback station and other opportunities for input.
• The community ideas fair is at Kyle Centre (125 Kyle St.) on Saturday, June 25 from 1 to 5 p.m. and the public is welcome to drop in. If you can't attend the fair, the information will be posted at www.portmoody.ca/engage with an online feedback form available until July 15.
