The City of Martensville is encouraging residents to get involved in the future of the community by applying for two advisory committees focused on recreation, green space, public safety, and emergency services.
Applications are currently being accepted for both the Recreation & Green Space Committee and the Protective Services Committee, each designed to provide guidance and recommendations to City Council on key community matters.
The Recreation & Green Space Committee will focus on parks, trails, recreation facilities, beautification projects, community programming, and environmental stewardship initiatives throughout Martensville.
According to the committee’s Terms of Reference, the committee supports the development, enhancement, and sustainability of recreational opportunities and green spaces within the community. Committee members will review policies and initiatives related to recreation and parks while also helping identify community needs for trails, recreational facilities, and outdoor spaces.
Responsibilities for the committee include promoting environmental stewardship, encouraging community engagement, and contributing to updates and reviews of the City’s Recreation and Parks Master Plan.
Meanwhile, the newly formed Protective Services Committee will focus on matters related to public safety, emergency services, bylaw enforcement, and emergency management within Martensville.
The committee will provide strategic guidance and recommendations to Council regarding community safety initiatives, emergency preparedness plans, service levels, and risk management strategies. Members will also help identify public safety concerns and recommend potential solutions to Council.
Both committees will include members of Council, public representatives, City administration, and designated youth representatives. Public applicants must be Martensville residents who are at least 18 years of age and have an interest in contributing to their community.
These committees are intended to provide residents with an opportunity to share their perspectives, contribute ideas, and help shape the future of Martensville through community involvement and collaboration.
Meetings for both committees will be open to the public and held quarterly.
Additional information and application details can be found on the City of Martensville website under the “Boards and Committees” section located within the City Hall tab.
