You're invited to give input into our Management Master Plan at a public consultation scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 30 from 7:00 to 8:30.

Do you have a great idea for the St. Thomas Elevated Park? Do you want to learn more about how we'll convert the iconic MCR Bridge over Kettle Creek into Canada's first elevated park?

Join us on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 7 pm for our first interactive Public Information Session. Location is the equally iconic CASO Station, 750 Talbot Street, St. Thomas. Everyone is welcome and admission is free (although we may try to convince you to become a member.

The public consultation will be conducted by our urban design consultants from Peter J. Smith Company of Fort Erie, Ontario. Members of the On Track St. Thomas board will be there as well. Plan to visit any time between 7:00 and 8:30 pm. Once you arrive, we'll put you to work with maps, illustrations and workbooks designed to get you involved with the serious business of designing Canada's first elevated park.

Should it be green space, play space, quiet space or a space so unique and exciting that people from all over will want to experience it? You tell us.

Your input will be considered as our consultants create a Management Master Plan that will guide On Track in its planning and execution of the project. After the report is delivered to On Track later this fall, we will schedule a second community town hall meeting to review the findings. Stay tuned for more information.
