14 The Barrie Examiner Wednesday March 23 1977 Sports Corner 18 one answer By RANDY MCDONALD Examiner Sports Editor Back in midNovember over 100 delegates representing serVice groups sports organizations and cultural associa tions came together at the Sunnidale Community Centre They were there to participate in the Community Recrea tion Conference Many of the delegates had no idea as to what end Conference would take them They were there at the request of the department of parks and recreation which wanted and got list of priorities in as far as providing for future recreation development in Barrie The Conference was split into two nights spaced two weeks apart and there were long hours devoted to discus Sion When it ended and the list of priority areas agreed upon some delegates feeling they had been part of something but wondering what was next Then City Council appointed Recreation planning in the ity One of the first things this Planning Committee did was to establish number of minitask forces which were to go out and investigate their area of concern and recommend positive action on how to deal with the priorities established at the Conference That much we know The members of these task forces were selected on the basis of previous experience area of interst and how they had filled in interest forms at the Conference We felt we could tap their experience was how Gary Stoner director of recreation put it In most cases those selected to chair the individual groups are members of the Recreation Planning Commit tee It appears that the task forces are still in the initial stage of their investigations The task force looking into the establishment of third ar tificial ice surface was scheduled to meet for the first time Tuesday The group looking into what the city has to offer in ex isting facilities has met once The indoor swimming pool task force has met but may be standstill waiting developments along other fronts Other priority issues to be looked into include youth oriented programs development of paths and trails senior citizens centre as well as looking into the need for bandshell While groups may appear to be working on their own and independent of each other theyre soon to find they have common linkwnioney No matter what is recommended its going to cost lot Probably much more than one group of users for example the third ice surfacet could afford Its going to take collective front to get what they want The task forces appear headed for the same town but using different roads What community can afford to have number of groups knocking on doors seeking help for new arena swimming pool facilities for both the senior citizens and younger scgr ment of the community sports complex appears to be the logical contusion along with combined effort on the part of everyone to foot the cost of thcoverall construction iiin blind man would deny the fact that Barrie newts another ice surface The concept of twin pad arena for Barrie was endorsed by last years council with ttititi thc target date But this is subject to change Theres lot Barrie needs to further recreation and cultural development its only natural that the needs grow as the city develops Many of those needs could be housed under one roof No doubt the cost would be istronomical but certainly not that much more perhaps even cheaper than building separate facilities Few communities have the space available for ncw ities anyway The modern course appears to lean towards sport complexes Certainly an arena swimming pool track facilities meeting rooms and gymnasiunis could be incorporated into such complex even in stage by stage development as the money becomes available With the money available from Wintario and the Hun munity entres Acts the time is ripe for the community to pull together to take advantageof what is available GLANtINti ARtilNl April is the official opening of the NEW Barrie Raceway Watch for it theres few in
