WHITBï Recreation department has great year The Whitby Parks anc Recreation departmeni maintained variety anc versatiiity in its pro- grams in 1982, and fos. tered strong community spirit in the town. Iroquois Park arenaý ,saw a range of activities and attractions this year, including country and western concerts, rock shows, a choir festival, craft shows and summer arts camps. Participation in the town's programs bit an ail time high last year,. with registration in al sports programs Up from previous years. The town began offer- ing private and semi- private swimming les- sons for the first time, and the response was excellent. Despite problems with the heating and ventilation systemn at Iroquois Park pool in the last four months of the year, repairs were made and the pool's of- ficiai re-opening is planned for Jan. 3, 1983. The Senior Citizens Centre on Brock St. South was used by more seniors than ever be- fore, and the town re- sponded by hiring a fuil- tme manager for the centre. A highlight of the year was the opening of the tourist information cen- tre on Brook St. South, The Parks and Recreation Department offered fun and fitness to Whitby residents in 1982.

More than 14,000 visitors to, Whitby used the centre.' The parks department reached its goal of maintaîning a high level of service without in-, creasing expenditures last year. General maintenance of al parks was ex- cellent, and new play apparatus was 'in- stalled in Phillips- Koseroff Park and Whitby Town Estates. Basebaîl enthusiasts were undoubtedly pleas- ed this year when the number of games play- ed was doubled at Iro- quois Park with the in- stallation of a lighted diamnond.' In 1983, the parks and recreation department plans to increase energy efficiency at Iroquois Park by' installing jet ice. The ice is mnade froni purified water, which has a, higher freezing point than regular water. The town expects to save from $5,000 to $10,000 in cool- ing costs next year. Total savings at the arena with the new ice, heating, and ventilation systenis is expected to be about $20,000 per year. The recreation department will study the use of ice time at Iroquois Park and Brooklln's Luther Vi- pond Memorial Arena to determine the, feasi- bility of building a third ice pad in the future. Phase 1"three" 0of D'Hillier park in Otter Creek is expeted to be finished this year, with entrance ways, land- scaping and walkways being constructed..
