Council awarded the tender for the construction of a new twin pad arena and fire station, to be located on a 10 acre site on Weldon Road. 2; The new arena will help accommodate increasing demands for ice time, improved facilities and accommodations for user groups such as the Stouffville Skating Club. The new fire station will replace the current fire station on Main Street and allow the Town to implement 24/7 services. Construction for both facilities is scheduled to commence October, 2008 at a cost of $24 million including taxes. Financing for both facilities have been accounted for in the Town’s long term financial planning. It was noted that Saturday, September 13, 2008 was proclaimed as “Karen Cockburn Day” in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. On August 18, Stouffvillite and trampoline athlete Karen Cockburn won a silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Council discussed visibility concerns at Millard Street and Glad Park Avenue. As a result, Town staff were instructed to enforce Parking Byâ€"law provisions to ensure parked vehicles do not impede site visibility at this intersection. In addition, a request will also be made to York Region Police to undertake an enforce- ment campaign to ensure motorists comply with the posted speed limit. In the near future, a newly designed property assessment notice will be issued to residents from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). The Town is hosting an infor- mation meeting to help you understand your notice and what it means to you: MPAC is the provincial agency responsible for classifying and determining the value of properties in Ontario. Please note the property assessment notice is not a property tax bill.
