It reads as follows: Bowmanville Jan. 7,1987 Newcastle Community Services Advisory Board Dear Members: We read recently with great interest that your board was this year interested in making some park area available to our townspeople. We, the Bowmanville Branch of the Women's Institute, have felt this necessary for many years and have on several occasions tried to draw this to your attention. Some members have written letters to our Statesman hoping council would do something regarding this need. We feel our seniors need a spot to sit and rest and enjoy nature, also young families need a place to go for a picnic or just a place to walk the baby. Some of our members have been asked by tourists passing through if there is a rest room - where they can eat their lunch and have the use of rest room facilities. We know there is some of the out of the way park land but we have no signs to tell people where those parks are located. From our Tweedsmuir History Book on "Our Town", there was an article stating that council back in 1923 felt a park area was necessary here and it is still needed. A clean up at our lakefront could be another greatly appreciated endeavour by our townpeople. How many of our business men or town council members would be proud to take any prospective clients to our Bowmanville beach area? At present all we can give you is our support and encouragement. If we find this park readily happening we might, in the future give a donation to the cause. Here is a brief history of the Women's Institute. It was formed for women in 1897 - ninety years ago in Stoney Creek, Ontario. It is now an International Organization. Our Branch will be celebrating its 90th birthday in 1990. We have nine branches of active members in our district. Our motto is "For Home and Country." The Women's Institute has always been à force for good in the community. Our members would be pleased to receive a reply. We are keenly interested in this project. Sincerely, Bowmanville Women's Institute Amend Plan Durham Region has approved approved an Official Plan amendment which designates designates certain areas in the Town of Newcastle as community community improvement areas.
