Recreation Investment
The recreation investment is focused on maintaining, in
partnership with other organizations, the Province's extensive network of
recreation sites and trails to keep them open and safe for public use, while
providing economic , social, health and environmental benefits to families, the
general public, rural communities, and the Province.
Maintenance of recreation
sites, trails and facilities involves cleaning, inspecting, repairing, replacing
and removing structures and natural hazards to maintain safe, sanitary, socially
acceptable and environmentally sound conditions in accordance with the type of
environment and the level of use of the site, trail or facility. Implementation
priorities are to conduct maintenance and rehabilitation efforts to extend the
life of existing sites and trails; develop new sites and trails where the
opportunity, demand and community support is high; lower operating costs and
increase service capacity and the quality of outdoor recreation experiences
through effective partnerships.

Collaborative business
planning is done through the Recreation Program in conjunction with partnering
organizations. The planning process and timelines are listed on the
LBIS
website with annual activities and

directly by Ministry staff in conjunction with partnering organizations.
