The Leisure Services Programmer provided the Committee with an update on the Scott Avenue Activity Centre Proposal. The proposal has been submitted to both Provincial and Federal Government agencies for consideration. The Committee recommends that Mayor Hawkins follow up on these requests within the next two (2) weeks. Sports Recognition\Wall of Fame The Committee discussed a request referred from the Economic Development and Tourism Committee with respect to a Sports Recognition\Wall of Fame being developed in the Town. It was noted that there is already a considerable sports display throughout the Joe Byrne Memorial Stadium and in the Hospitality Room of that Stadium. The Committee recommends that Department staff research the possible location, cost and labour required to institute a Sports Recognition\Wall of Fame and report back at a future Committee Meeting. The Committee also recommends that staff provide appropriate story boards and item explanations for various memorabilia at the Stadium main areas and Hospitality Room. Correspondence Hockey Team Sponsorship Request – The Committee discussed correspondence from an individual for financial sponsorship for a regional hockey team. It was noted that regional team membership does not qualify for funding within the Departments Grants Program. The Committee recommends that this request be denied. Fall\Winter Programs Update The Leisure Services Programmer provided an update on the Fall\Winter Programs presently being organized and co-sponsored by the Department. It is hoped to have these programs finalized within the next few weeks. Work is also being completed on the Parks and Recreation Fall\Winter brochure. Any groups or residents that have programs to offer or wish to be included in the brochure may contact the Leisure Services Programmer at the Department by telephoning Stadium Signage
