Our Curling Club is Under Attack Again
We have recently found out that Halifax Regional Municipality staff are recommending to Council that the Lakeshore Curling Club be closed within 2 years.
Just last year we had to fight to save our club. This culminated in success on December 12th, 2006 Council passed this motion:
MOVED by Councillor Harvey, seconded by Councillor Johns, that staff hold facilitative discussions with Lakeshore Curling Club with the assumption that curling will be a part of the long term recreational offering of the Sackville Sports Stadium and therefore part of its long term financial recovery. MOTION PUT AND PASSED.
In defiance of this direction, staff are trying once again to close our club.
We need to take action. You can do so by contacting Council and thanking them for their support last year, and telling them that you expect their support again this year. You might also suggest to them that they give staff firm direction to do what they were told last year!
You can contact your Councillor, or all of the Councillors, in our Councillor section.
You can help, just visit the Action section and send a note to our Councillors.
You can keep up to date on our fight to save our club by monitoring our News section.
Please look around, and please take some action to help us save our club.
