Help Shape the Future of Bass Lake!

The Township of Coleman is seeking your input on the future of Bass Lake Park and Campground. On April 7, 2025, Council directed staff and the Bass Lake Committee to develop a comprehensive Business Plan focused on infrastructure, financial viability, and community needs.

This survey is designed to collect feedback from taxpayers on key priorities, including:

  • Infrastructure improvements
  • New or enhanced public amenities
  • Preservation of green space and natural areas
  • Alternative future uses of the property

Your input will directly inform municipal planning and investment decisions related to Bass Lake Park and Campground. While the Township will actively pursue available provincial and federal grant opportunities to help offset project costs, it is important to note that any unfunded portions will be financed through the municipal budget—ultimately funded by local taxpayers.
