There are two community-based groups that advise and make recommendations to the City Council and the Recreation & Cultural Services Department: The Parks & Arts Commission and the Rosehill Community Board. Both are separate functioning groups, e.g., the Rosehill Community Board is not a sub-committee of the Parks & Arts Commission.
