Letters to the Editor

This week's St Marys Journal Argus was expanded by 4 pages to include 12 letters on the arena expansion (also known as the Living Life Project). The only 1 of the 12 letters fully in support of the project was from an original proponent of the scheme, the St Marys Hockey Association. The arena expansion is on the agenda for the next council meeting Tuesday, March 28 at 7:30 in the St Marys Town Hall auditorium.

In sort of related news, Cindy Bilyea who until recently was President of the St Marys Hockey Association lost out to Robert Wilhelm Tuesday night to become Perth South, Ontario township councillor. Perth South which surrounds St Marys funded 40% of the current arena and on April 27, 2004 their council voted 4-3 against contributing to the Living Life Project.
