VURGINIA DRAZEAU, Sales Rep. 878-8101 the Pancake House, converting the Cameron Barn into a play ares and changing the Wildlife Walkway. Currently, the Pancake House le open to the elements. Staff suggested enclosing it to create a cabin-like building that can be rented out in the summer. During the maple syrup festival, the enclosed structure would be ant ideal place to warm up, Mr. Burchett said. The historie Cameron Barn would also benefit fromt some changes, hie said. Right now, the lower ares of the bamn houses animals, while the upper ares is used to store hay. Staff want to convert the unused portion of the upper poilions of the barr into a children's play ares. "Bronte Creek Provincial Park and other tourist attractions have had great succeas with convertîng old barns into active pîay areas," Mr. Burchett stated in his report to the committee. "The intent is to maintain a rustic look and feel that is in keep- ing with the historic nature of Cameron Barn." Community involvement Not only can the ares be used for children, achool and commu- nity groupa can rent it as well, hie said. Staff also suggeated moving the flight cages for injuied raptors next to the Wildlife Walkway. "Visuial barriers would be insta.iled bo minimize stress on the birds while at the same time allowing visitors to observe the rap- tors as they complete their rehabilitation," Mr. Burchett said. The flight cages themselves are in diarepair and require some work. As well, proposed regulations by the Ministry of Natural Resources may require CH to instaîl larger cages for the animais, Mr. Burchett said. Construction starta for ail of the projects depends on the coat, Mr. Burchett said. 'If it is 50 bucks we can go ahead and do it," hie said. .'If its $50,000 we have to go back 10 the board and ask per- mission to get the money. It's still in the exploratory mode."
