More JCRA efforts on your behalf
A Community Centre for South East OakvilleSurvey representing 220 residents and 10% of our area showed: 93% agreed a Town Community centre below the QEW in Ward 3 is needed 88% strongly agreed or agreed they would use a Community Centre in Ward 3The most desired facilities were: fitness centre, gym, pool, senior and youth programs
Draft Parks and Recreation Master PlanReleased in Nov 2011Concern is that it calls only for a minor community centre for Southeast Oakville which would NOT include pool, arena or a library depending on the location.
South Central Public Land Study will review the following lands: Chisholm, Brantwood, Linbrook, Hospital Lands, Centennial Square, Oakville Arena, Trafalgar Park Town has agreed that the study must be flexible to consider the viability of a major community centre on the landsResident Associations welcomed to work with Sub Committee overseeing study and public consultation
