Little Red River Park operations, future comes under scrutiny
With the contract for caretaking services at Little Red River Park expiring, city planners are looking to use it as an opportunity to develop a more rounded look at the future of the park.
Options were recently pitched to the executive committee on how to proceed amidst the latest contract with the Métis Women’s Association that expired in March. They have provided services at the park for 14 years.
Administration suggested providing a six-month notice of termination to the group and issuing a new request for proposal for the operation of the Cosmopolitan Lodge and catering services.
A report on the subject said terminating the contract would give the department an opportunity to review short-term goals and develop a plan of action moving forward on long-term operations. Planners are already hammering away at a Little Red River Park Master Plan, slated to come before the Community Services Advisory Committee in June.
