2 THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 2000 Leisure... Continued from front Acton Councillor Clark Somerville argued against the additional costs, saying it's not prudent to "just damn the torpedoes and go full speed ahead," to end up with poten- tial tax increases. He sug- gested it was time to choose one project, or the other, but not do both. Staff said they said they would bring back a report within weeks on the possible sources for supple- mentary funding. Councillors were also briefed on a very ambitious fund raising campaign with a goal of $2 million that will of- ficially kickoff May 28. The leisure centre will open in the fall of 2001. The new arena is scheduled to be ready for the 2001 ice season. Earl Jensen Serving Acton & = Rockwood Area Recovering Furniture - Antique & Modern.

"Look at the success of the trunk sale and events at the school and the various churches.
