Victoria Park is very close to our hearts.  The Park was very seriously damaged last year and the community was devastated.  The process of healing and rebuilding is just beginning.  We want you to be a part of the dreaming and planning for the revitalized Victoria Park.

We asked for your ideas for Victoria Park and you responded.  Over 280 submissions and 167 distinct ideas from on line discussions, community meetings and discussion groups.  For three days, the design team of landscape architects from Crowdbrite and Hilderman Frank Thomas Cram listened, discussed and sketched ideas.  The result is a draft master plan for Victoria Park in Souris. The team divided the park into 4 zones, , proposed management recommendations to restore the park and identified locations for new features identified by the public. Suggestions for lower cost enhancements of our existing features were also included.   Some ideas included linked walking trails, expanded camping areas, a splash park, beach volleyball court and a natural playground.   And the discussion isn’t over yet.  The draft plan is now available for view and comment.  People are again invited to log in and comment and vote on the ideas and offer suggestions of how we might make these ideas happen.
