Older AduIts Centre One Step Closer The Clarington Older Aduits Centre is one step dloser to becoming a reality. In a strong show of sup- port, seniors packed the Council Chamber Monday to voice their desires for the swift completion of the pro- posed centre, to be located at the end of Church Street in Bowmanville. Mavis Carlton, speaking out as a representative of the group, informed the Council that people are becoming bit- ter with ahl the delays behind the centre. The seniors have done everything they have been asked to do by the Municipality, and are won- dering what the hold up 1s. 1In a comprehensive report, the senior's identified the areas they hope to tap into to cover the $99,300 yearly operating cost for the centre. The municipality's financial commitment to the operation of the centre is $3,000.00; much less than the, $270,200.00 that Whitby pro- vided in 1995 for its seniors. Locai service clubs such as the Bowmariville Lions Club and the Rotary Club, as well as Community Care are ail in support of the completion of the centre. AlIthat is needed now is the municipality's commitment. The money to cover the capital cost for the construction of the centre has, already been set aside by the Municipality. Roxy Barnes, of Community Care said "the development of the centre is essential if we are going to succeed at keeping our seniors well." Rita Wilson, another supporter of the pro- ject, told thec Council to "stop underestimating your seniors. Give us a chance. Many of us have been through a depression and looked after children while our husbands were at war. Give us a chance to show you how we can raise money and pay our bis." The Council passed a reso- lution sending the project before the Treasurer to see where the rest of the funds can come from. A report should be made available at the next Council meeting. After the presentation, Mayor Hamre concluded with I don't know how we can say no.
