2024 Parkland Projects - Ameliasburgh Ward Public Meetings
2024-07-15 18:00 - 20:00 | Roblin Lake Park, 38 Coleman Street, Ameliasburgh, Ontario, K0K1A0, Canada
Public Meetings Scheduled for Ameliasburgh Ward!
What are Parkland Projects/Funds?
Recently, the province requested that municipalities use funds sitting in Parkland Reserves. This fund consists of payments made to a municipality by developers on a cash-in-lieu basis to fulfill requirements for dedicating land for public parks or open spaces. In some cases, developers may find it difficult to dedicate land due to site constraints, land availability, or project requirements. In these cases, developers may request to contribute cash to the municipality as an alternative.
By using these funds strategically, municipalities can enhance recreational opportunities, improve quality of life for residents or promote environmental conservation.
How much money is available and why is it directed at specific parks?
Parkland reserves are tied to the geography of the project. In this instance, development projects within Consecon, Carrying Place and Ameliasburgh contributed to the Parkland Reserve fund. Funds have been allocated as follows:
-Roblin Lake Park $90,000
-Westfall Park $80,000
-Consecon Park $40,000
How can the funds be used?
Parkland funds are used to add new amenities to make parklands welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all. It is important to note that the improvements are not for general upgrades and renovations, but are focused on adding new amenities to parks and
greenspaces to increase the value to the greater community.
When are the public meetings scheduled?
-Monday July 15, 6:00p-8:00p at Roblin Lake Park
-Monday July 22, 6:00p-8:00p at Westfall Park
-Monday July 29, 6:00p-8:00p at Consecon Park
What if I’m unable to attend a public meeting?
The public is encouraged to contribute ideas and suggestions via the County’s online public engagement site at https://haveyoursay.thecounty.ca/ or by attending one of the scheduled public meetings.

Members of the study team will be present to answer any questions.
The County of Prince Edward completed a County-wide TMP in 2021. The municipality is undertaking an amendment of the TMP for the Picton Settlement Area. The amendment is now required due to a higher level of growth projected within the study area, beyond what was assumed as part of the 2021 TMP.
The TMP will assess the short- and long-term transportation infrastructure needs and deficiencies within Picton. The plan will identify improvements to the multi-modal transportation network in order to address existing and future travel demands.
Public consultation is an important part of the TMP. The first PCC was held on December 12, 2023 and introduced the study. The second PCC was held on April 3, 2024 to present and gather feedback on preliminary findings of the technical and environmental studies and preliminary alternative solutions Visit the County website to learn more about this study.

Public Meeting: Big Island Boat Launch area
2024-09-09 18:00 - 20:00 | Big Island Boat Launch Area, 243 North Big Island Road, Demorestville, Ontario, Canada
The County of Prince Edward is hosting a public meeting to gather input and feedback on the Big Island Boat Launch Area parkland improvement project.
The Big Island Boat Launch area is one of 10 parkland projects across Prince Edward County that are being supported by funds from the Parkland Reserve. Provincial legislation requires municipalities to spend a certain portion of funds in their Parkland Reserve by the end of the year. The funds in this reserve come from developers who provide cash instead of dedicating parkland to the municipality. Municipalities are required to spend those funds in the same geographic area as the development.
The municipality has allocated a specific amount of money for the 10 parkland projects . The public can share their ideas about the types of amenities or park features they would like the municipality to consider when spending these funds. Visit the Have Your Say online consultation website to learn more about all 10 projects and offer your input and ideas.
For more information, contact the County of Prince Edward at 613.476.2148 ext. 1023, 613.962.9108 ext. 1023, or email info@pecounty.on.ca.
