Have your say in wellness strategy
Richmond’s first Community Wellness Strategy
was introduced in 2010. Now, the city is looking for public input in hopes of
building on the plan’s success.
Developed in partnership with Vancouver
Coastal Health and Richmond School District, the city’s draft Community
Wellness Strategy 2018-2023 takes a collaborative and holistic approach to
improving wellness for local residents. It supports council’s vision to enhance
accessible programs, services and public spaces that reflect Richmond’s
demographics, rich heritage, diverse needs and unique opportunities, and that
facilitate active, caring and connected communities.
“Over 1,000 individuals participated in the
first round of public consultation with this second round being undertaken to
ensure that the right steps are being considered to improve wellness
opportunities for Richmond residents,” says Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “We encourage
residents to continue to let us know what they need to feel healthy, happy and
connected to their community.”
The ways to continue the conversation are to
drop in to one of two public open houses to view
the draft Community Wellness Strategy 2018-2023 and complete the online survey.
The survey is available from June 11 through June 24.
Open houses are Wednesday, June 13 from 6:30
to 8:30 p.m. at Richmond Public Library’s Brighouse branch, 100-7700 Minoru
Gate, and Saturday, June 16 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Minoru Place Activity Centre,
7660 Minoru Gate.
The draft Community Wellness Strategy
2018-2023 was adopted by city council May 14 for the purpose of seeking
stakeholder and public validation, and the final phase of the project is now
being worked on. Community input received will be assessed and used to finalize
the report that will be presented to city council at a later date.
