Conversations begin on Boreal Recreation Centre
Roughly two dozen residents were at the Meadow Lake Civic Centre last night for the first, of what board members hope to be many, community meetings.
The meeting was in regards to a potential multi-purpose facility called the Boreal Recreation Centre (BRC).
Talks for the centre were happening on and off again for the past 15 years and roughly a year ago conversations started up again. Scott Thompson, Lorraine Cockrum, Tammy Dancy and Peter Mansuy formed the BRC board to oversee the non-profit facility plans.
Thompson said the board feels a facility of this nature will be a huge benefit to the community. It would provide jobs, recreation opportunities, and attract new families to the area.
