5. General Business and Reports
5.1. RCP communications/social media – the town has a communications team,
however RCP sometimes needs to communicate in real time, which might not
work with the communication team in the moment. This is an area that input on
improvement is being sought. The entire corporation uses one Facebook profile
as well as one Instagram. There are many projects and events worth celebrating
on social media, especially this year.
Resolution #2
Moved by: Deb Gilvesy
Seconded by: Taylor Campbell
THAT the Recreation & Sports Advisory committee requests back a staff report
on ways to increase communication to the public from the Recreation, Culture
and Parks department when it comes to programming, events and facilities.
And opportunities to further collaborate with user groups to improve partnerships
and communication when it comes to successes of local organizations/teams
and the promotion of events being held in Tillsonburg.
Carried
5.2. Hall of Fame induction date – Andrea contacted the living inductees; Jeff Bes
indicated that he could not attend a fall induction ceremony. Dan Sanders is
available anytime. It appears that May of 2024 works best. Staff will reach out
again and determine whether one day of May 6th will work.
6. Next Meeting
September 7, at 5:30 p.m., Council Chambers, 200 Broadway, second floor.
7. Adjournment
