member James MacKay may not
be pleased by the city’s response,
but he may not be surprised either.

intended to include some of these
areas in the first draft of the City’s

‘capital budget.” |

Which areas? For that we will

have to wait. And once these areas

are identified, will they get culvert

Good dress and some warm-up stretching will
guarantee a great day of skiing!
