Answers: A newly-formed commit- tee has made its formal re- quest to the township when it comes to what it would like to see it in a new Welles- ley recreation complex. Among those requests are an NHL-sized hockey rink and a pool. The Wellesley Recre- ation Centre Committee sent the township a letter of recommendations pertain- ing to the potential new complex on Aug 19. The Recreation Centre Committee, which consists of several user groups with a vested interest and was formed earlier this sum- mer after the arena closure was announced, would also like to see the current rec- reational lands be main- tained even if a new recre- ation centre is built. As highlighted by this week's Wellesley Township agenda package, the rec- ommendation put forth by staff says that the township concurs, recommending that maintaining of the rec- reational lands continue at 1004 Catherine St. even if a new complex is built at 1401 Queens Bush Rd. Staff recommends that township council endorse the recommendation in the report at this week's coun- cil meeting on Aug. 27. Finalization of a new recreation centre hasn't happened yet, and secur- ing funding from the prov- ince is a key component which Mike Harris Jr. is working on. Noted in the letter from Chris Martin, who is chair- ing the Wellesley Recre- ation Centre Committee, is several amenities which the user groups have re- quested: . Arena similar configuration to Mount Forest - NHL size ice, 500 seating + standing room, concession stand, mini- mum six team dressing rooms & two rooms for fe- male players, Apple Jacks Jr. C team room, ample storage for hockey groups, skating, curling, soccer as- sociation, etc. • Walking track • Seniors / active living centre • Youth centre • Commercial kitchen • Gymnasium/hall - can be divided with temporary wall • Workout gym • Change rooms - male, female & family/gender neutral • Outdoor pool - five or six, 25-metre lanes • Soccer fields - regula- tion size • Skateboard park • Meeting rooms • Dog park • Expanded space for fair - shed for livestock • Space for temporary stage (and storage) for the- atre productions & lighting • Rigging in ceiling • Storage shed for ABC materials Martin also adds that to allow for potential future expansion, the committee is proposing that the new centre be located at the parkland on Queens Bush and Hutchison, a senti- ment which has been com- mon among Wellesley council and staff. Maintaining current recreation lands Staff added that the amenities on the current recreational land such as the baseball and soccer fields, would not need to be maintained in perpetuity but would be considered in future planning and capi- tal forecasts. "The area cur- rently occupied by the horseshoe pits is physical- ly separated from the re- mainder of the green space and therefore would not be considered practical to maintain as part of the green space for recreation use," reads the agenda re- port. Martin's letter though included horseshoe pits as one of the areas that the committee wanted to see maintained. The area currently occupied by paved surface could be con- sidered for redevelopment purposes such as senior living accommodations or commercial issues, if the arena project goes ahead at the new location. In early July, it was announced that the Wellesley Arena would be closed for the season, sparking conversations about a new recreation centre in the township. In August, a temporary fix was passed for the arena, reversing the original deci- sion. However, a new recre- ation complex is gaining momentum regularly with donations coming in and funding being applied for.

Jowett said when that question was put to the minister about the current maintenance agreements with municipalities, au- thority staff suggested that if the conservation author- ities and municipalities could move the agree- ments to a memorandums of understanding, it would be acceptable to the prov- ince. The board accepted the direction being taken by Jowett and staff and en- couraged the continued di- alogue with the province. NEWS Continued from page 28 PROVINCE LOOKING TO CUT RED TAPE, SAYS JOWETT
