I have had the opportunity over the last few weeks to work very closely with the Seniors from the Dunlop Drive Seniors Centre to help rectify deficiencies in their building and bring it up to the standard they deserve.
A few weeks back I represented the Mayor and Council at the Seniors 90th Anniversary Tea. Prior to the event starting the President of the Seniors approached me about a long list of deficiencies that have existed at the Centre for some time. Mr. Viola and I toured the Centre and we made a list of the work that needed to be done. The list of about 15 items included everything from a leaky roof, to broken washroom facilities, to safe lighting on the outside of the building and so on.
It was a pleasure today to be able to call Mr. Viola and inform him that we were able to cross the last item off the list as the City awarded the tender for a new roof which will be installed early next month.
It was a pleasure to have worked with the Dunlop Seniors to bring this heavily used building, which is so important to many of our residents, up to a standard they deserve!
