Recreation Working Group

The Recreation Working Group was created in February 2025 to move forward the Joint Recreation Master Plan of 2019.  The Working Group will provide advice and recommendations to Council regarding matters related to parks, recreation facilities and recreation programs that enhance the quality of life of residents and visitors, which reflect the needs of the community and support and encourage active, healthy lifestyles.  

The Working Group is comprised of two Council members, the Thousand Islands Public Library and Township staff.  Members from the UCDSB Board Rep. and the Gananoque Recreation Department have been invited to join the group.
