The South East Calgary Recreation Society (SECRS) was formed to act
as the Community Advisory Group (CAG) recognized by the City of Calgary
to assist it with the development of cultural, recreational and sports
facilities for the southeast districts of Riverbend, Douglasdale/Glen,
McKenzie Lake, McKenzie Towne, New Brighton, Copperfield, Cranston,
Auburn Bay, Shepard and upcoming new developments in the area.
Our vision is to develop a long‐term recreation master plan that includes: 1. Providing the highest quality recreational, cultural and sports opportunities.
2. Complementing existing programs and infrastructure including 3. Providing for the eventual addition of at least two large regional recreation facilities in the southeast. Over the past year SECRS and the City have collaboratively completed the review and synthesis of the results from the Recreation Gap Analysis, the 10 year Sport Facility Development and Enhancement Strategy the Art Spaces Strategy and the Calgary Children’s Initiative, to create a outline of the needs of the SE communities. This was the first stage of five stage process to bring regional recreational facilities to the residents of our area. The second stage of the process is to develop proposed operating model for the facility or facilities that will be built in the SE. This second phase involves identifying organizations that are interested in partnering with the City to b facility operators and/or program providers. This will be done by an Expression of Interest process that is currently slated to begin in December. In tandem with the completion of the first stage, the City conducted and completed a land inventory and site selection analysis in SE. Please visit our website www.secrs.ca or our blog spot www.secrsinfo.com or more information and details of that upcoming meeting.
