Timing of the Pyramid Centre Project
In the August 16, 2006 issue of the St Marys Journal Argus
St Marys Town Council wrote:
The various components of the Pyramid Recreation Centre are proceeding all at once in order to achieve significant savings and economies of scale. For example, by twinning the existing arena there will be an estimated 50% savings per ice pad on payroll and utility costs, when compared to a single pad facility. Twin pad arena may also augment revenue streams with special evenets and tournaments. The construction odf a pool in the same location as the two rinks will offset the operating costs associated with the aquatic components. Landscaping and parking lot improvements will also be finalized in the project. It is important to note that the baseball diamonds and soccer fields will remain in their present location.
Andrew Atlin / John Munro on behalf of a ratepayers group replied:
Council may have received a wonderful price. The problem remains that a great price on a Porsche only works if you can make the payments. The Town can’t afford the payments.
