Project Background

Okotoks Town Council approved the concept plan for developing Iitopatopa [e’toba‘toba] Park (formerly Riverfront Lands), located at 370068 40 Street East, into a leisure recreation space.

The proposed concept plan, which includes developing day use space and associated leisure recreation amenities for this area, was informed by the Town’s 2017 Recreation, Parks and Leisure Master Plan (RPLMP), the Social Wellness Framework and by Council’s Community Life Purpose Statement.

In alignment with the Town’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, a Traditional Knowledge and Land Use assessment was completed and consultation with our Indigenous partners was undertaken. The concept plan incorporates feedback received from this process and Council endorsed an Indigenous site name of Iitopatopa Park, meaning “a place where we return to often."
