“The contribution of the Kinsmen is probably
approaching $200,000 in the park,” Scott said.

He noted that they've also contributed play-
ground equipment to George Little Park.

The renaming is also appropriate, he added, in
light of the parks around town that bear the names
of the Rotary Club and Elks. City councillors
backed the name change March 3.

Another name needed

THE LINEAR Park about to be built also needs a
name, says city parks superintendent Steve Scott.

Kermode Bear Park has been suggested by the
Terrace Beautification Society as a possible name,
he added.
