Help Shape the Future of the Osborn Community Space

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) invites residents of the Osborn area to participate in the next phase of engagement for the proposed Osborn Community Space Project.

A community meeting and survey will present concept options for a potential new community space located at 17526 Siphon Creek Road, including estimated costs and potential tax impacts. Community input will help inform next steps, including whether the project proceeds to a referendum (public vote).

This is the final planned community engagement opportunity for this project prior to consideration by the Regional Board.

No decision has been made at this stage. This engagement is intended to gather feedback before any decisions are considered by the Regional Board.

Background

The Osborn Community Hall was closed in 2019 due to structural issues and approved for demolition in 2025.

During engagement in summer 2025, residents expressed a preference for a practical, cost-effective outdoor recreation and gathering space rather than constructing a new hall. Based on this feedback, the PRRD engaged a landscape architect to develop concept options reflecting community priorities.

These options are now being shared for community review and input.

How to Participate

Community input from this engagement will inform a recommendation to the Regional Board on whether to proceed toward a referendum (public vote). If approved, the community will have the final say on if they support a new taxation area to fund the project. If no project proceeds, no new taxation would be established for this service.

    Osborn Community Space Survey Round 2

    The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is talking to Osborn residents to review six design options and costs for a potential new community space at 17526 Siphon Creek Road. Your feedback is important and will help our project team put together a report with recommendations for the PRRD Board of Directors. This will help them decide the next steps for the project, including a possible public vote (referendum) this October (2026) to create a new service taxation area.

    Survey open March 11, 2026 to April 1, 2026.
