Here is a link to the agenda materials that are being supplied for the meeting Thursday, October 22nd concerning the West Parry Sound Area Recreation & Culture Centre, hereafter referred to as “Da Pool”.
The document is also available from the Town’s website through this link.
It’s a very interesting document and goes into detail regarding the recommendation of the current Y centre on Parry Sound Drive as the future site of Da Pool. The recommendation is to tear down the existing building to permit construction of the new facility.
This is a rather large document, 32MB, so you might want to wait until you are on WiFi to download the document. I highly recommend that you review the document to understand what is being proposed. As appropriate, contact your council member if you have a comment or opinion to share.
The meeting on Thursday can be streamed online and presumably will be available later on YouTube. I may catch it on replay.

Thank you Joe. Yes very interesting. I did not see in the capital or operating budget summary any reference to the grant which was applied for or further recent grants from fed or provincial sources? Sure to be included at a later date. Also, no reference income in operating budget – other than user fees and vending machines? Cafeteria or banquet facilities for swim meets, tournaments? Maybe a retail space for partnership with Tims or sport store? Sure will be a consideration in future plans. Anyway, very good move forward!
