RECREATION COMMISSIONS WITHIN AREA B

Within Electoral Area B, we are fortunate to have two Recreation Commissions - Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission & Parkland Recreation Commission.  Both of these are governed by bylaws, specifically Bylaw 4712 for the "Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission" (BLRC) and 4271 for the "Parkland Recreatoin Commission" (PRC). 

These commissions are ideally comprised of a diverse group of volunteers who are interested in their community, are positive, forward, progressive thinkers, are action & project oriented and are dedicated to making their communities a better place to live, work and play.  For the PRC, the commission will be comprised of the CRD Director of Electoral Area B and 6 members-at-large of which 4 must be residents of the 10 Mile Lake area.  For BLRC, the commission consists of the CRD Director of Electoral Area B and a minimum of 6 members to a maximum of 10 members-at-large, of which 2/3rds must be residents of the Bouchie Lake area.

For both commissions, it is one of the responsibilities of the CRD Director to recommend Commission members to the CRD board so that they can be appointed.

As per their respective bylaws, the purpose of each commission is to manage the land and buildings as described in the Schedules which form part of the bylaw.  Management of the identified properties ensure its use and enjoyment for the public.  For both, the lands shall be utilised to conduct public recreation & other community activities.

The properties identified as being managed in Bylaw 4712 (BLRC) include (i) Bouchie Lake Community Hall & Grounds & (ii) Claymine Property.  The properties identified as being managed in Bylaw 4271 (PRC) is the Parkland Community Area (also known as Costas Cove on Ten Mile Lake).
