The citizens of the Village of Port Perry and the surrounding community are very proud indeed of their fine Recreation Centre which stands as a fitting tribute to the memory of the ones from this district who paid the supreme sacrifice during World War II. On March 10th, 1948,-in the Port- Perry High School Auditorium a meeting of several citizens inter- ested in building a new skating rink in Port Perry was held. The outcome of this meeting was that a committee was nominated to select a slate of officers to be the nucleus of a Recreation Centre Committee. In a few days the nom- inating committee brought in a report which was adopted and The Port Perry Community Memorial Recreation Centre committee was inaugurated. The first meeting of this newly-formed committee was held on March 10th, 1948. The Memorial Gardens were form- ally presented to the Municipality of Port Perry on May 17, 1951. The ;debt and no debentures, whatso- ever have been issued in-order to bring about this happy situation. The most of the funds were raised chiefly by a house to house can- vass of the people ofthe entire community, raffles, car- draws, donations from community organ- izations, ete, and a Provincial Government grant of $5000. Many citizens have stated that the erection of this Recreation Centre is the result of the greatest in-this'/ecommunity.
