In managing growth within the City, the department is faced with considerations of the potential social, economic, physical and environmental impacts that ultimately affect the livability of the City.

Through collaboration with residents and stakeholders, Parks Infrastructure Planning and Development is committed to providing an innovative, accessible, sustainable and safe Parks and Open Space system that fosters physical activity, health and wellness for all citizens while meeting the City's strategic parkland objectives.

The projects undertaken can represent a new City asset or help to maintain, improve and extend a City asset (often called infrastructure). This infrastructure includes roads, bridges, sidewalks, watermains, sewers, stormwater management facilities (ponds) and streetlighting.

The department is responsible for capital project planning, design, tendering, construction, and contract administration of all City buildings.

The department oversees:

• 90+ City-operated properties, facilities and buildings
• Capital projects
• 2 million sq.ft. of service space
• park walkway & sports field lighting
• outdoor water play features

The department also maintains horticultural displays and flower beds, including 750 hanging baskets, 520 flower planters and more than 400 planting beds, while sustaining the city's forests through planting, pruning, removals and protection of the City’s tree assets. Other maintenance activities include litter and debris pick-up and snow removal in parks, on sidewalks and City boulevards.
