McKellar Town Council to revisit pool/recreation centre issue at its next meeting

By Tom Mangos

 

McKellar Town Council will address the pool complex/recreation centre issue once again.

Council will hear a deputation from the Ad Hoc Wellness and Pool Recreation Committee at its next meeting on February 5th.

At its last meeting, Council voted down a request by the committee that would have placed a question on its 2018 municipal ballot regarding the pool.

McKellar Reeve Peter Hopkins says council felt there were too many issues to be considered at the time and rejected the committee’s request.

Reeve Hopkins says council will listen to the pool committee’s deputation and will decide whether to move forward by appointing a member of council to sit on the committee.

The Ad Hoc Wellness and Pool Recreation Committee hopes to investigate and determine the feasibility of a pool complex in the Parry Sound Area.

The committee has sent a request for deputation to all seven area municipalities.

Town council meets next at 6:30 pm on Monday, February 5th at 701 Hwy #124 in the Village of McKellar.

I was born and raised in the former Borough of East York (now part of Toronto), a friendly community with small-town roots. After attending Ryerson’s Electrical Technology program in Toronto, I became involved in the family’s retail electronics business, eventually taking it over. During that time, I became involved in a number of community groups including the East York Community Centre Liaison Committee, and sitting on the board of the Toronto Police 54 Division liaison committee, as well as chairing the Pape Village Business Improvement Area. In 2007, I decided to pursue a career in radio broadcasting, enrolling in Humber College’s radio broadcasting program. It was a wonderful opportunity and something I’ve wanted to do since high school. After working at a number of stations in both Ontario and Alberta, I am excited to work alongside with the great team at 103.3 Moose FM in beautiful Parry Sound.
