Sarnia is reshaping how it manages public parks with the addition of an in-house ecologist, who will oversee the city’s public lands from an ecological perspective. This new role, approved in the ’25 budget, aligns with the $600k investment into Germain Park, a key green space in the city. The ecologist will guide efforts like plant restoration, habitat support, and biodiversity, while advancing sustainability goals in parks. Though some local leaders question the cost, others believe the position will help Sarnia manage its parks more efficiently, ultimately saving money and enhancing the city’s green infrastructure.
