Councilor Kreling |
The Legacy Budget meeting took place on April 9 at the Cumberland
satellite office. Approximately 60 people were in attendance. There is 2.2
million dollars available in the fund and the requests were far in excess of
the funds available. Once the report on the Legacy Funds is available,
representatives of the Community Associations will have an opportunity to
respond. Requests for money are for the Arts, Recreation and Culture.
Councilor Kreling suggested the 2.2 Million could be used as leverage through
the private sector to support funding another rink. Either way a rink will be
built in 2004. Other areas in the City will have arenas built and paid by the
City. There is a question as to whether we want to use the Legacy Fund to
build a new arena when we will get that arena from tax dollars anyway.
Private sector funding in addition to the Legacy Funds might result in an
earlier build date. In mid May there will be a public/private criteria and
process to determine the feasibility and how it would be measured. There will
be a meeting to look at the following traffic control issues: A 3 way stop at
Charlemagne and East Princess Louise. Traffic control light at Charlemagne
and West Princess Louise. A 3 way stop at both Princess Louise and Montcrest
and again at Watters and Montcrest. The grand opening of the new Police
station is slated for May 16. |

Q.H.C.A. |
There has been some discussion on the use of Legacy Funds on bike
trails and a Cultural Theatre/Centre.
The Association has decided not to put the newsletter on line with the
Eastender as the Association charges for the newsletter through fees. Some
discussion ensued on the usage of the existing Cumberland Theatre in response
to Gilles mention that the Q.H.C.A. had been discussing use of Legacy funds
for a theatre. Paul felt our theatre is presently underutilized. |
|
Canada Day |
The next Canada Day meeting will be on
Monday April 22, which is to be confirmed by email. |
|

No FCA rink report provided. There was a critical rink report provided to the Association by Mark
McGee from the City, which was tabled and will be followed up at a separate

returning the duplicate cheque for March given to us by the City. |
