North Saanich aldermen agreed to receive the report and referred it to an upcoming public works com- mittee meeting for discussion. “There’s a pretty hefty price tag attached,” Mayor Maurice Cha- zottes remarked. The fire chief complained the feasibility study ignored the loca- tion of the hall and noted the consultant did not contact the fire department. The feasibility of moving the hall was not even considered, Towle added. “Now that this report has been done, I request that council not delay any longer is having this building removed from this loca- tion. If it is to be restored than I recommend it be given to the group wanting it and that they be given a time frame to secure land to relocate the hall,” Towle stated. The fire department wants the building moved off the site only if it is to be used as a community centre, Ald. Brian Dunic explained. The Deep Cove Community Association discussed the feasibil- ity study at a meeting Monday night, member Jill King reported. King said the group was encour- aged to learn restoration was pos- sible. A survey has revealed wides- pread community support for the project and she felt the community could possibly raise the funds to restore the hall. She also noted provincial grants are available for such projects. The feasibility study included alternate parking on the site which would help resolve fire department concerns, King said. “We don’t want a battle within the community. We want to con- vince them it is good for every- 22 one. Now Great Locations 4408 BOBAN DRIVE in Nanaimo 758-0848 10230 BOWERBANK Sidney 656-0848 WEST WIND HARDWOOD INC. Avenue house.
