Community Hub

The City of White Rock is launching a public consultation process to help shape the vision for a new Community Hub—a modern, accessible civic space that could bring together key services under one roof.

The City invites residents to participate in shaping what this future space could become.

The following survey series will take place this Spring in to Fall:

• Survey 1: Community Needs and Services
  • April 30: survey opens
  • June 11: survey closes at 4:30 p.m.
    
    
• Survey 2: Space Use, Amenities and Location
  • June 16: survey opens
  • July 11: survey closes at 4:30 p.m.
    
    
  • *Update on Survey #3: Thank you to everyone who participated in Survey #2. To ensure Survey #3 is informed by the latest results and reflects what we’ve heard so far, its launch has been paused until later this summer. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.

Background

The current City Hall, built in 1962 to serve a population of 8,000, is no longer able to meet the needs of a city that has grown to nearly 22,000 residents. With projections of another 10,000 residents over the next two decades, now is the time to begin planning for a space that is accessible, seismically safe, and future ready.

Engagement

The public consultation process will unfold through a series of surveys, open houses, pop-up events*, and workshops running throughout spring and summer. Residents are encouraged to complete the surveys and learn more about how to get involved.

* “Pop-up events” are short-term public engagements that are held at various locations within the City of White Rock that usually last just a few hours. The purpose of a “Pop-up event” is to provide the public the opportunity to ask City Staff questions about the Community Hub and the surveys. Unlike City-hosted Open Houses, “Pop-up events” are intended to be informal and spontaneous.
