Leduc is growing and the City wants to make sure recreation, leisure, and wellness programs are keeping up.
With that in mind, the City is conducting a Recreation Program Needs Assessment and is inviting residents to share their input on what’s working, what’s missing, and what could be better. Your input will help shape the programs and services the City offers now and in the years ahead.
Why we’re doing this study?
Leduc’s community is changing. People’s lives, schedules, and needs look different than they did even five years ago. The City wants to make sure programs and spaces reflect how residents live, play, connect, and take care of their health and wellness today.
This project will help us answer some important questions:
- What programs are working well and should continue to be offered?
- Where are there gaps or barriers that prevent people from participating?
- How can programs better serve all residents, including families, seniors, adults, youth, and newcomers?
- What new opportunities should the City explore in the future?
How we’re going to answer those important questions
This project has three phases:
- Research and review
The City will review current programs, facility access and allocation, and community trends to understand how services are being used and where there may be room to improve. - Hearing from you
Residents and program providers will be invited to share their experiences and ideas through an online survey and a series of focus group conversations. This is a very important part and will take place throughout April and May. - Analysis and recommendations
The findings will be used to help identify priorities and develop a clear, practical plan to guide program decisions going forward.
