The plan is reviewed every seven years and was last renewed in 2016. The next review will happen in 2030.
The Provincial Capital Commission (PCC) will soon begin public engagement for the next iteration of Wascana Centre’s master plan.
The plan is reviewed every seven years and was last renewed in 2016. The next review will happen in 2030.
“We are responsible for operating and preserving the public assets that are Wascana Centre and Government House, and we aim to do so as stewards of the environment, servants of the people of Saskatchewan, and champions of our collective history,” said Ryan Whippler, PCC’s acting chief executive.
Don McMorris, the minister responsible for the PCC, said the master plan provides the framework for all aspects of Wascana Centre, and public engagement plays an important role in the review process.
“The public engagement process will ensure the future of the centre reflects the evolving needs of our residents,” McMorris said in a press release.
Public engagement is scheduled to begin in 2022 and finish in 2023.
“These engagement opportunities will help inform the formal review of the Master Plan, and will include topics such as the Centre’s five pillars (recreation, culture, environment, education and government), park and facility usage, as well as religious and ceremonial land use within the park,” the press release said.
Regina Mayor Sandra Masters called Wascana Centre “an incredible asset” to the city.
