Living Life Mission Update
St Marys council with 1 dissenting vote has given another $10,000 to a Hamilton firm to develop plans to expand the hockey arena (the project is also known as the Living Life Mission).
The project will now cost an additional $3 million from just 2 months ago. The dissenting vote was from Bill Osbourne who dissented on the grounds that if funding was not in place when the expansion cost $10 million then the funding won't be in place now that it costs $13 million.
Municipal, provincial and federal funding will be required. Perth South, which paid for 40% of the cost of the current arena, has rejected making even a token contribution to expanding the arena. Federal and provincial funding programs do not currently exist for this kind of project.
The report Arena Manager Jim Bryson presented at the August 23, 2006 St Marys council meeting that led to hiring the architect is at:
