C ^ le * 1 2 9 9 Snobelen echoed the statements of Mulvale, saying that the involvement of the entire Greater Toronto Area in die bid will give the Olympics a true community spirit "I had the opportunity to attend the Pan-American Games in Winnipeg last year," he said. "One of the things that struck me about those games was how the communities in and around Winnipeg got excited and involved and I think that the same thing can happen here in 2008." Along with the competition, those receiving medals in archery will have them presented at Bronte Creek, making Oakville the only site outside of Toronto where medals will be handed out Sandra Levy, a framer two-time Canadian Olympian in field hockey and current TO-Bid official, is confident that Toronto has a good chance of getting the games. `Currently there are 10 cities bidding for the 2008 Games and by the end of August that will be reduced to a list of candidate cities," she said, adding that International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samaranch had stated that Toronto's bid looked strong. `With the changes occurring in the IOC right now, it's impossible to know anything further as of this point" Improvements to the park are necessary should the bid be suc cessful. Some of the gravel roads that wind around the park will have to be paved and transportation issues, which have yet to be discussed, must be dealt with. Aside from the archery area being blocked off during Olympic competition, the entire park would remain open to the public.

Staff are recommending that councillors award the $10.5 million tender to the Jasper Construction Corporation and approve the $12.4 million revised budget (which includes cash for land acquisition and other items) -- $1.9 million more than anticipated. Given the long and sometimes frustrating history of the facility - not to mention the hot construction market Council will have to decide between several options: not proceeding with the project, re-tendering it sometime in the future or going ahead and funding the $1.9 million bud getary shortfall. When first tendered in 1999, the Town did not accept the low bid which was substantially over-budget. At the time it was felt that the tendered price was an unusually high anom aly in the market. In February, the project was put back out to tender with modifications such as fewer skylights and windows, changes to wall surfaces and more. Although Jasper Construction came in with the low bid, the four top bidders were all within $500,000 of each other - a clear indication, says Parks and Recreation Director Bob Perkins, of today's current market value.
