The priorities for park and <br />recreational development need to be <br />continually reviewed as additional <br />input is received from the residents <br />and as the City changes. <br />The Park Commission wishes to <br />provide all the residents of Little <br />Canada with equal opportunities to <br />participate in recreational <br />activities. All residents should <br />have convenient access to facilities <br />and an opportunity to participate in <br />a variety of activities. <br />ACQUISITION <br />The City of Little Canada has <br />completed the acquisition of its <br />major park areas including Spooner <br />Park, Pioneer Park and Gervais Mill <br />Park.
