Kincardine focuses on boardwalk at Nov. 21 public engagement session

The boardwalk at Station Beach, Kincardine, will take centre-stage at a public engagement session, slated for Tuesday, Nov. 21, from 6-9 p.m., in the Miller Insurance Room at the Davidson Centre in Kincardine.

Hosted by the Municipality of Kincardine, the casual drop-in environment encourages conversation about what the community thinks Station Beach will look like in the future. Pre-registration for the event is not necessary.

Municipal staff and representatives of GM BluePlan Engineering will be on hand to talk with attendees and to gather input about this outdoor space.

“Our lakeshore areas are some of the most visited and well-loved areas in the municipality,” says community services director Jayne Jagelewski. “Station Beach and our boardwalk are spaces that people are particularly enthusiastic about, whether they’re a resident or tourist. We want to make sure that the plan for these specific areas is one that allows for generational enjoyment.”

The engagement session is building on the Waterfront Master Plan work done earlier this year. Station Beach became a focus during engagement for this plan, with its identification as one of the most frequently visited areas and the boardwalk noted for making the space special.

Among the priorities identified for these spaces were health, safety, and environmental resiliency along the waterfront. The community engagement session is among the first steps of implementation of the Waterfront Master Plan actions.

The final Waterfront Master Plan is available on-line at www.kincardine.ca/Waterfront-Master-Plan.
