PRESENTATION / SPEAKER
Presenter(s): Steven Gillisbie Topic:Cantley Village Park
To open Steven told us he was a former Kiwinis Club member and that he son is a member of the Interact Club at Riverview.
He discussed that the park has a walking track, soccer field, baseball diamond, basketball court and a playground. The problem with the state that the park is currently in is some outdated/damaged equipment and the accessibility is not what it should be.
They have received $215,000 through government grants, as well as some donations from businesses and individuals. They are short $10,000 to complete this portion of the renovation. He called upon our club to help.
