within council on the issue he notes howev er theres general agree ment weshould build something by thinking in terms of a complete centre that will serve everyones needs the ward 6 member is confident the whole project will even tually fall into place if we let it drag on we could lose the 375000 cana da ontario employment development grant at least this will force us to make a decision in a written statement to the tribune councillor sanders admitted to much frustration over the time required to commence con struction many of us would like to see things move faster he said but the centre must be a total community project sanders points to the many and varied activities going on in the municipal ity he feels the town must address itself to these events by providing more uptodate facilities the councillor lists many areas of concern that should be considered including energy conservation and anticipated revenue above all we need a con struction schedule that will serve as a guide as to when each phase of the project will start sanders senses a move by some that would abort all or part of the venture this tactic will delay it but will not stop it he said prime concern he stated is to understand the longrange potential of a recreation centre the people of this community want and de serve a facility of which they can be proud proper planning at this time is when we can save money after construction is started it will be too late he concluded model show bruce arrowsmith whitchurchstouffvilles chief building official holds the en vironmental award received may 25 from
