Welcome to "Imagine Parksville Downtown," a community-driven initiative led by the Parksville Downtown Business Association in collaboration with DAAR Place Consulting. Our goal is to gather insights and ideas from all corners of our community to shape the future of our downtown core over the next decade. Whether you live, work, or play in Parksville, your voice matters!

Project Overview

"Imagine Parksville Downtown" is all about envisioning a vibrant, inclusive, and thriving downtown that reflects the aspirations of our community. Through various engagement activities such as surveys, town hall meetings, focus groups, and one-on-one conversations, we aim to capture a diverse range of perspectives and ideas. This project is your opportunity to share your thoughts on how we can enhance our downtown to better serve everyone.

Engagement Activities

1. Surveys:

Share your thoughts through online and paper surveys. These will help us gather broad input on what people love about downtown Parksville and what improvements they’d like to see.

2. Town Hall Meetings:

Join us for lively and interactive town hall meetings where you can discuss your ideas and hear from others in the community. These meetings will be a space for open dialogue and collaboration.

3. Focus Groups:

Participate in smaller, more focused discussions on specific topics such as green spaces, local businesses, arts and culture, and transportation. These groups will delve deeper into particular areas of interest.

4. One-on-One Conversations:

Have a personal conversation with a member of our team. We want to hear your unique perspective and experiences to ensure all voices are included.

Update: Imagine Parksville Downtown is officially underway!

The steering committee had their first meeting in mid-August, and we’re moving full steam ahead! Let’s come together to shape the future of Parksville Downtown!

We’re eager to learn more about the unique identity of our downtown, understand current community perceptions, and explore exciting opportunities and aspirations for the future of Parksville Downtown. The more voices we hear, the more impactful and successful our project will be.

During our Engagement Week, William Bakker from DAAR Place Consulting will be leading discussions with business members, residents, community groups, property owners, and First Nations.

We’re also on the lookout for unique meeting spaces that will inspire creative, out-of-the-box thinking! If you know of any vacant, unusual, or creative spaces—anything but stuffy boardrooms!—please let us know.
