Renovations/Upgrades Project
Thanks so much to all those members who attended the “Building on History” Renovations/Upgrades Project kick-off meeting Wednesday December 6. There was a great turnout and lots of support for this exciting and much-needed project/plan for the Club’s future.
To all of you who could not attend or are away for the winter season, we want to ensure you are also informed of the plan and know how you can support to help with the completion of this project.
Meeting presentation key points
Completion of the noted upgrades and renovations over the next three years (3 Phase). The focus is on sustainability, accessibility and inclusivity. Total projected cost $1,200,000.
Various means to pay for the project, with the majority coming from government grants/funding.
To obtain these grants we need to show the stakeholders that the Club and its members are also making a financial commitment.
Along with the $58,000 Club contribution, we are hoping to raise a minimum of $125,000 in membership donations. We are targeting to have donations confirmed, whether they be one-time or multi-year commitments, by January 31, 2024. Donations after this time are also welcome.
Regarding the project plan, if you have any questions or comments feel free to reach out to any of the board or project committee members (see list below).
