Park Community Centre
I have been following articles and Sound Offs about Park Community Centre. We moved our family to Brandon from a vibrant rural town with many activities, so when we were house hunting, we looked for school locations and, of course, an active community centre. There were three different areas that we were looking at and we lucked out to find the perfect home near wonderful schools and a very active community centre inside and out, and we became very involved. Now, back to Park, I have heard approximately how much it will cost to bring it up to code, yet the writer seems to think it is a modest investment. Just how deep do you think council’s pockets are? Also, how did this building get to this point if there are so many board members and volunteers?
Health measures
How ironic! We had strict COVID-19 rules and people rebelled, at least a small vocal minority. Now, we have a premier who is taking a hands-off role and people are complaining. Now, more than ever, it is up to us as individuals to protect ourselves with masks, distancing and hand sanitzier. To the vocal minority who were and are against COVID regulations, too bad if you get COVID!
Re: Catch and release
I too am also concerned of the amount of crime in the city. There have been many groups over the years to try and revitalize downtown Brandon but until it’s safe to go downtown, no revitalization plan will work. A street fight at 3 in the afternoon on downtown Rosser. Pretty sure most involved were repeat offenders. Judges need to get repeat offenders off the street.
