Dear editor,
I don’t know about you but I’m kind of skeptical about pouring all that money into the Lewis Rec Centre.
Firstly, as nice as Lewis Park is, to expand the rec centre must mean a loss of parking for folks down there. Why not build a new City Hall and Rec Centre somewhere else?
My thought would be at the old Farquharson Farm site. Get into negotiations with Ducks Unlimited and take 50 to 75 acres and build a new Civic Centre complete with city hall, rec centre, playing fields, municipal rose garden and plenty of parking.
Spend the money on something new that will last our lifetimes instead having to redo every 15 years. It only makes sense.
W.C. Dieno,
