After multiple rounds of public consultation, Sarnia City Council, approved a new Germain Park Master Plan on April 17, 2023.

The plan outlines a vision for Germain Park and the Strangway Community Centre, ensuring that these assets continue to meet the needs of residents well into the future. While the plan provides a path for future investments and improvements to the park, the recommended projects are all subject to approval by City Council during the annual budget process.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the development of this plan by providing their input.
