aspects thereof.

Leisure Act.Comm. From the Leisure Activities Committee, March 13th, 1975, referring

re closure-Aggie Hall
to past discussion on the fact that when the new facility on Laurier
Avenue is completed Aggie Hall would no longer be used for programming
and would be closed, and recommending that as the new facility will be
ready some time in May or June, 1975, the Aggie Hall be closed on May
31st, 1975. The Committee, in its report, however, pointed out that
investigations are presently underway as to the possibility of obtaining
a Federal Grant to upgrade historical buildings and that further reports

would be forthcoming.

Moved by Alderman Keryluk:

Seconded by Alderman Mabbett:

That as recommended in a report from the Leisure Activities Committee,
March 13th, 1975, the Agricultural Hall be closed and no longer used for
programming as of May 3lst, 1975;

AND THAT investigations respecting a Federal Grant be actively

pursued for the purpose of upgrading that historical facility.
Carried.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Traboulay
mentioned that the building does not meet the current fire regulations
and Mayor Campbell stated that strict adherence to those regulations
would mean that the buiiding would be closed immediately. The Fire

Chief agreed with the comments made by Mayor Campbell but stated that in

the case of an old building such as the Aggie Hall, the current regulations

were very difficult to enforce as it would really involve a complete
rebuilding of the entire structure.
