INQUIRIES
Councillor
M. Fleury
1) Considering the fact that the
University of Ottawa has agreed to provide the city of approximately 10,000
hours at the new sports field at 200 Lees Avenue for community use, could
staff please provide a concrete and detailed plan of how those hours are
going to benefit the community and the city?
2) What were the original timelines for
the Parks and Recreation Master Plan? What was the cause of the delay? What
will done to ensure that we are able to make the 2015 deadline and provide an
integrated Parks and Recreation Master Plan that responds to the needs of our
community and City?
