Spending millions of dollars on a sportsplex instead of a few thousand on repairs doesn’t register
To Central Manitoulin council:
I find it interesting how our Central Manitoulin council thinks about costs. You say you hate to spend a few thousand dollars on repairs of the arenas but spending millions on a sportsplex, and the many thousands to run it, doesn’t seem to register.
A few years ago, I was involved in having the two arenas reinforced with heavy structural steel costing well over $200,000 for each arena, so don’t tell me they are not structurally safe.
I can see you are bound and bent to build a sportsplex so I’m sure reason won’t stop you.
Carry on.
Sincerely,
Lyle Dewar
