PARC Floats 2011 Fundraisers
In an out-of-nowhere move, Parks and Recreation (PARC) will announce today a series of trial fundraisers for 2011. The surprise announcement was turning heads this morning in Ganges and, as usual on Salt Spring, was met with opinions strongly for or against the idea.
While details are predictably sketchy at this point, we do know that the “curves” along North End Road will be closed to traffic and used as a high speed water park for vehicles. Driver’s will pay $10 for the one minute ride. Water for the new park will be donated by the Highlands Water System.
The full list of fundraisers is expected to be officially announced by PARC later today. Island residents are invited to bring their questions and cushions to the tennis courts at noon. No cameras will be permitted.
