Last Chance

The door-to-door campaign being undertaken. this
week by volunteer members of the Saanich Peninsula
Agricultural and Recreational Association (SPARA) is,
without doubt, the most important. step in their con-
tinuing efforts to see a recreation complex constructed

on the Peninsula.

It gains even more importance with the consideration

. ‘that this is probably the last chance this particular
- Sroup will have to discover whether or not district
residents really want a recreation complex — or want it"

; enough to pay the price.

_A solid measure of support from the. people of the
‘Saanich Peninsula — backed by dollars --- will likely

ensure ‘that something in the way of sorely needed
“ recreation facilities: will come into existence in the.

“Near future.

_ Failure of this campaign to achieve. all (or a sub-
_ Stantial part) of its goal will, on the other hand, probably.

Fesult i in no development i in this 2 area for some time to

~ come.
