A Community Centre for South East Oakville•Survey 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 3•The most desired facilities were: fitness centre, gym, pool, senior and youth programs

Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan•Released in Nov 2011•Concern 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 lands

• Resident Associations welcomed to work with Sub Committee overseeing study and public consultation
