town should not purchase flooring for the recreation complex until it is determined how much use the floor would get said one council lor last week ward 4 councillor wayne emmerson said more information is needed before he would agree to spend 15000 on a flooring system 50 per cent of the cost i he was responding to a staff report which recommended the town accommodate the chamber of commerce next year and rent the group the ice from april 1719 but since the stouffville figure skating club is still in action a 30000 flooring system would be needed staff also recommended the town store any material needed to cover the ice for a period of five years i have a concern that a lot of money would be put out for this floor that maybe used once a year emmerson said he wanted staff to come up with another alternative or compromise before council approved the purchase but ward 5 councillor doug alles accused emmerson of not looking after the communitys inter ests as a whole we should have more than a skating surface there it was built to benefit the whole community the chamber did their fair share to help and i dont see this flooring option as a waste alles said and mayor

study the concept when i look at the advantages from the united states im really enthused about it bowes said yesterday he attended a conference in toronto where durham and muskoka boards presented the modified school year idea to trustees and teachers implementation of the scheme which would cancel the prolonged summer vacation would scatter the shorter holidays throughout the 12month school
