Case Study: Town of Quispamsis achieves equitable recreation access with Forward Creative

Town of Quispamsis sets aside 20–30% of facility time with Forward Creative

The town of Quispamsis partnered with Forward Creative to address a challenge in managing equitable access to its municipal recreation facilities. With a growing population and increasing demand from various community groups, the town lacked a formal policy, which led to difficult scheduling and competing priorities among users.

Forward Creative led a comprehensive community engagement process to design a new Recreation Allocation Policy. The resulting framework provided staff with a clear decision-making tool and reserved facility time for new groups. The policy was unanimously approved by council. Forward Creative's solution gave the town a transparent system that reduced decision-making time and established Quispamsis as a model for equitable recreation management.
