Committee of the Whole
5.1 Location of Youth Centre
A report and recommendation from staff and the youth focus committee to maintain the current youth centre at Westhill while adding a new centre at the new recreation centre complex. The relocation from the Alley to Westhill was a temporary one to accomodate the sale and construction of the buildings in Moody centre, with the youth centre slated to relocate to the newly renovated recreation centre in early 2007. Because of the success of the Westhill location, the recommendation is to maintain TWO youth centres instead.
