The Municipality of Meaford needs some community input on the Lakeview Cemetery Master Plan encompassing the next 50 years.
*****
The Municipality of Meaford is currently developing a new strategic master plan for Lakeview Cemetery. This master plan will provide an overall vision for the cemetery for the next 50 years.
Working alongside Lee and Associates, the Municipality has identified five key objectives for the master plan which includes: design future burial areas within the cemetery; align future services with existing infrastructure; ensure that the cemetery effectively serves the changing needs of the community; provide updates to cemetery bylaws; and establish a program that supports the maintenance of the landscape, including a long-term infrastructural improvement plan.
The purpose of this plan is to ensure that Lakeview Cemetery is sustainable for many years to come and meets the needs of our growing community.
We want to hear from you! We invite you, our community members, to participate in the process. You can submit your feedback with our survey and you can attend our upcoming public meet and greet sessions.
Fill out the online survey here. The survey will be open to the public from December 1 - 31, 2022, and takes about ten minutes to complete.
If you are unable to access the online survey, hard copies are also available and can be picked up and submitted to any of the following locations: the Municipal Administration Office located at 21 Trowbridge St.; the Meaford Public Library at 11 Sykes St. N.; the Meaford and St. Vincent Community Centre at 151 Collingwood St. W.; and the Sydenham Centre located at 458372 Grey County Road 11, Owen Sound.
We will be hosting two public meet and greet sessions with the consultants and you are invited to attend. The sessions take place on Friday, Dec. 9, and Saturday, Dec. 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Meaford and St. Vincent Community Centre. No pre-registration is required.
Your input is invaluable to the creation of our master plan and we thank you for your participation in this process.
