During the Pre-Award phase, the consultant team will gather stakeholder input to understand the requirements for a new facility to replace the existing Pleasant View Lodge in Spirit River. The intent for each of the community engagement sessions is to answer the big question: How does the built environment promote healthy living and sustainable communities? The answers to all of the questions we will ask during theses sessions will drive our design decisions to develop program requirements and the schematic design for the new lodge. We started with the site and common lodge amenities, and then we will work our way inward to the neighbourhoods and resident suites. Our goals for the community engagement sessions are to develop an understanding of the social and cultural context of Spirit River and the surrounding community and to empower the community to shape the project vision. Session #1 Topic: On January 28, during the first community engagement session for the pre-award phase for the Spirit River Lodge project, we provided a bit of the project background and the new lodge highlights, we talked about the important design principles to consider through all of the community engagement sessions, and then we dived into the main discussion; how does the built environment promote healthy living and sustainable communities as it relates to the site and common lodge amenities. The goal for this session was to gather the community's input on what all the important design features are, as well as what site and lodge amenities the lodge should have to offer. Thank you to everyone who participated! We look forward to hosting you all again on February 4, 2021 where we will discuss the types of neighbourhoods and resident suites within the lodge.
