North Cariboo Recreation & Parks (NCRP) is a service of the Cariboo Regional District and governance authority for the NCRP lies with the CRD Board. The Board receives recommendations from CRD established Recreation Commissions (e.g. Bouchie Lake, Parkland, Barlow Creek) and the North Cariboo Joint Planning Committee (NCJPC). This latter committee is comprised of 4 CRD Northern Directors (Areas A,B, C, & I) and 7 City of Quesnel counsellors.
The NCRP is primarily funded through taxation & user fees. Policy decisions related to the NCRP are made by the North Cariboo Recreation & Parks Commission (established by Bylaw 4391). Policy decisions outside of the authority of the Commission are considered by NCJPC with recommendations to the CRD board for ratification. This Commission is comprised of 2 CRD Directors from Electoral Areas A, B, C, & I, 2 members of Quesnel City Council, 1 SD #28 representative, & 2 members of the general public (1 selected by the CRD Northern Rural Caucus and 1 selected by Quesnel City Council).
The City of Quesnel, through the Quesnel & District Leisure Services Department, manages the NCRP on behalf of the CRD under the terms of a 5 year agreement. Services are primarily offered through the Quesnel & District Arts & Recreation Centre & the Quesnel & District Twin Arenas. School & some outdoor facilities are also utilised. Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission, Barlow Creek Recreation Commission, Parkland Recreation Commission, and Alex Fraser Park Society also provide services with funding support received through NCRP. Pioneer Park, on Dragon Lake, is operated by the Quesnel Archery Club, at no cost to NCRP with the exception that NCRP pays for their public liability insurance.
In terms of the Recreation Commission within the rural areas, Parkland, Bouchie Lake, & Barlow Creek Recreation Commissions were all established by the CRD & are governed by Bylaws (4271, 4272, & 4273 respectively). These Commissions were established to manage specific CRD lands & buildings to ensure that they can be enjoyed by the public for purposes of recreation & community acitivities. The Director of the CRD Electoral Area in which the properties lie is a member of the respective Recreation Commission as is set out in the bylaws for the Recreation Commission.
