We are welcoming and inviting.
Westerner Park is here for everyone in our community.
As Westerners, we value and respect the diverse nature of our
clients, guests and team.
Agriculturally – Rooted
We celebrate our tradition as an agricultural society.
We have a strong sense of where we’ve come from as a community .
We seek to bridge our agricultural past with a growing urban population
while embracing new technologies and innovations.
Deliberate Stewards
We manage our resources responsibly and our risks with careful consideration.
We intentionally provide personal, team, and organizational development for continuous improvement.
Socially Responsible
We act with integrity and strong ethics. We consider our actions and their
effects on those we serve and our Westerner Team.
Our Future
At Westerner Park, we feel strongly that in order to honour the past,
we need to have a plan for the future.
That’s why we’ve embarked on a bold and innovative long-term redevelopment project. In May of 2008, our Board of Directors approved a Strategic Development Plan that outlines an exciting new vision, acting as the blueprint for Westerner Park’s growth over the next 40 years.
In 2009, we proudly completed Phases 1 and 2 of the Strategic Development Plan, opening several great new facilities and outdoor spaces. And that’s just the beginning. Even more beautiful park areas, pedestrian-friendly walkways and corridors, improved parking and traffic access, and clustered ‘neighbourhoods’ of related spaces and facilities are still to come.
So when it comes to the future of Westerner Park, you could say we’ve got a lot to celebrate.
