Fundraising and the St Marys Pyramid Centre
In the August 16, 2006 issue of the St Marys Journal Argus
St Marys Town Council wrote:
Volunteers have developed a comprehensive community-driven fundraising campaign that includes local service clubs, organizations, user groups, corporations and individuals. The fundraising committee is working together for the community to create recreational opportunities and strengthen the overall appeal of St. Marys to new and existing residents. By raising money now to support the centre, we are reducing the amount of your tax dollars required.
Andrew Atlin and John Munro on behalf of a ratepayer group wrote in reply:
A fundraising team needs a chance. They need a target and a receptive community. Council’s approach makes their task much more difficult. Aylmer and Goderich have had no discernable improvement in their economic position following the building of their projects. Both the Galloway and Monteith reports did not link any growth improvement to the project.
