Public Input Requested for New City Strategy
19 October 2006
The City of Richmond is steeped in culture and history. And as the city continues to grow, develop and change, it must maintain essential pieces of the vibrant and colourful foundation upon which it was built.
To make Richmond the most liveable, appealing and well-managed community in Canada, Richmond Museum and Heritage Services is seeking the public’s input to develop a strategy to ensure the community’s museum and heritage needs are being met with a range of places, spaces, programs and services, provided both directly and in partnership with a variety of different organizations.
At this time, resources are being used to coordinate and prioritize museum and heritage planning, capital projects and operations within the City, including the need for expanded museum space and services.
Members from the Heritage Commission and Richmond Museum Society have been working with various groups, including community members, consultants, City staff, Tourism Richmond and the Chamber of Commerce, to ensure resources within the City and the development and operations of museum and heritage facilities are maximized to their fullest potential.
Everyone is encouraged to learn more about this important process and provide feedback at the Museum and Heritage Strategy Open House on:
Date: Tuesday, October 24
Time: 4:00 – 8:00 p.m., with a presentation at 7:00 p.m.
Location: Richmond City Hall - The Galleria (Main Floor)
6911 No. 3 Road
