HOPEDALE MALL 3rd Line Rebecca TT " i The Town wanted to make a formal statement and did," he said, explaining how this nod from Council will add a little more weight to the Y‘s jobsOntario fundâ€" ing application. This was originally made last October but when further paperâ€" work is submitted the Town‘s resoâ€" lution will certainly be included, said Carrothers. In June 1993 the Oakville Family Y announced its plans for a $7.5 million, 45,000 square foot expansion project which will be connected to the existing 12,000 square foot building. While the necâ€" essary money will come from a capâ€" ital fundraising program in the Oakville community, several area corporations jumped on board early to help it get started. Though tightâ€" lipped about dollar figures raised so ~ far, Carrothers said he is pleased with the progress of the campaign. "Things are going quite well but these things don‘t happen overnight," he said, explaining how the public appeal for funds will be the last step in the campaign. "We have had good support so far." In order not to put the cart before the horse, Carrothers outlined how the Y is concentrating on fundraisâ€" ing before it sets to work designing the new building. He expects the first shovel to be in the ground next year with an official opening in mid to late 1996.

After moving from Church to Dunn Street, the $1.2. million Rebecca Street facility was constructed as a 1967 Centennial project. In recent years, however, the demand on the YMCA has been such that services and programs are June 8, 195 Oakville Family ‘Y betting on the future The Oakville Family YMCA celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Young Men‘s Christian Asssociation with a ceremonial cake cutting on Monday.
