Area 'A' Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services

Electoral Area 'A' Recreation and Culture Services provides a variety of services to promote and maintain the benefits of healthy living for local residents. Services include recreation and culture programs for preschoolers, children, youth and adults; involvement with community development initiatives and projects; a Grant-In-Aid Program; and a Financial Assistance Program.

The Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission plays a key role as an advisory body to the Regional Board regarding the administration and operation of this Regional District service function. Although the Commission is involved with parks services, the parks services are maintained under a separate function and can be found in the links below.
