Public Meeting: New Trout Lake Centre to be Discussed

A public meeting next week will be the perfect opportunity to offer your two cents regarding the redevelopment of the Trout Lake Community Centre.

The meeting is scheduled to discuss the second phase of the project with park board staff and project architects. Phase one of the project included the construction of a new ice rink, which will be used as a practice rink for figure skating during the 2010 Olympic Games.

The new community centre will replace the aging facility built in 1964.

Funding for the new centre was approved as part of the park board's 2009-2011 capital plan, but it wasn't included in the plan until the public loudly protested the centre's initial omission. The meeting takes place Sept. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the community centre, 3350 Victoria Dr. More project details are available on the park board's website at vancouverparks.ca.
