This engagement is focused on Indigenous youth and their families who live in or attend school in Airdrie. The City is seeking to better understand how recreation spaces and programs can support safety, belonging and participation. We're asking what makes recreation spaces feel welcoming, safe and engaging for Indigenous youth and their families in Airdrie.
How your input will be used
Your input will help shape programming, design features and approaches that support Indigenous youth participation and community connection.
Not every idea can be acted on, but all feedback will be reviewed and considered. The City will share a “What We Heard” summary on the SW Recreation Centre engagement page that outlines key themes, how input was considered and what can inform current and future planning.
Share your thoughts in-person

Survey
Indigenous youth and their families in urban settings may experience recreation spaces differently and can face unique barriers to participation. While the City has completed broader public engagement for recreation planning, this engagement creates space for Indigenous youth perspectives that may not have been fully captured through those processes.
This work supports the City’s commitment to inclusive engagement and will help guide how recreation spaces serve the whole community as Airdrie grows.
