Representatives of Bridgeman Collaborative Architects made a presentation at a well attended public meeting last night.  They reviewed their six options from a study they did a year ago on how to upgrade the Aqua Center.  They go from renovations to meet the building code at 150 thousand dollars all the way up to a new larger Center at a cost of around 17 million dollars.

The idea now is to form a steering committee to help choose the option, help guide the process, help applying for federal and provincial grants and do fund raising.  The committee is to include representatives and residents of all communities in the region that use the pool and those communities should share the cost of the project.  

  Recreation Manager Mike Dubreuil reported letters have gone out to surrounding communities inviting them to take part in the process.  He says a meeting will be held in May to form an executive and shortly after that a decision will be made on what option to fund raise for.
