Many calis about seniors' activity centre. By Mark Reesor Centre ward councillor, John Doîstra says he's been "flooded' with. calis from seniors worried that -plans for a new seniors' centre are boing delayed. The seniors are concernied over comments freux north ward coun- ciller Don Mitchell, chair cf the parks and rec department, that hPd like ta see a new arena made -the- Town s «number one priority.» Doîstra says the Town's spend- ing, priorities haven't changed and pledges to fight for a new centre in the 1993 budget discus- sions. Whitby Mayor Tom Edwards agrees. «There has been ne change, nor have there been lany idica- tions by this çouncil that it wishes ta change <its spending priorities).» A new Whitby Seniors' Activit Centre is third on the Town a spending priority list, afler the new operations centre (already under contruction) and t1ire depârtmentheadquarters.

Despite the problemns, regional councillor Joe Drumrn says he's hopeful the development can go ahead so thore can be houses up in Brooklin by about 1994.» Drurnm says Brooklin has had sewage problems for 17 or 18 years. «We've done eveything we've had, ta do" ta et the sewer project!rtoin, including studying it %tedeatB aye Drumm. East ward councillor Dennis Fox says some people may feel it's net a good idea ta Rspend s0 much monoy on a sewer con- sidering t he state et' the economy.
