Just watching the most recent council meeting and the issue of the Library popped up again...Now Cal Patterson says that the location at Stonebridge is not good because people told him that during the municipal election, and at the all candidates meetings.
Hmm, I was at the all candidates meetings as I was a candidate and I also spoke to voters and they told me that they really don't care about the location as long as the town gets a new Library. Mark Crowe who owns Stonebridge is willing to donate the land for a new Library provided he gets a tax receipt. The other 3 possible locations according to the presentation made by the Library staff would be too costly, with one of them being beside Canadian Tire on 45th street.
Patterson is against the Stonebridge location because he said voters told him that. Well Cal, with voter turnout at 27% and you receiving 18% of that vote it means to me that 82% of the voters in Wasaga really don't care where the location of the new Library is. While I agree that the Library can't move forward unless both the Provincial and Federal government kick in some money, but why would this Mayor be so against this location, and the donation of land. I suggest that you drop a line to the Mayor at Mayor@wasagabeach.com to express your concern if you have any about the location of the new Library should financing come into place.
Now over to the renaming of Hwy. 26. The name put forth by the Town of Wasaga was rejected by the Town of Collingwood so it's back to the drawing board, or the naming board.
As another note, nobody was in attendance at the council meeting except for local media which shows to me that nobody really cares about what takes place at council.
Until next time!
