Gilles Chartrand I am convinced that this is a MAJOR asset for a municipality like the City of Clarence-Rockland. The number of young families in the area is exceptional and this Complex will provide them with many services. It will also attract many families to the City of Clarence-Rockland. Our family will also use many services like the library, the bistro, the gallery for seeing local artists and heritage collections, the pool, some YMCA services and the performance hall. This Recreational and Cultural Complex will be a great source of pride for the population of Clarence-Rockland and will be an object of envy for other municipalities in the province. I am looking forward for the grand opening of this magnificent building, in time for the Centennial in 2008.

Community Campaign:
One Resident at a Time Today, I would like to talk to you about the donors who did not have their picture taken for the newspaper. I am talking about you, the City of Clarence- Rockland’s residents. Individually, many people contributed to our fundraising campaign. In September, the fundraising campaign office sent every residence in the City of Clarence-Rockland some information on the Recreational and Cultural Complex project as well as a request for donations. We are pleased to announce that many people already answered. This shows once more that the City’s residents are proud of their community and want to participate in its development. Up until now, the fundraising campaign received $16,935. Thank you. I would also like to invite the population to visit our web site www.complexecrcomplex.com and to take some time to read the list of our generous donors. You can still contribute to our fundraising campaign. If you didn’t receive your information envelope or if you lost it, you can communicate with the fundraising campaign office to receive a new one. Thank you all again.
Don Jacobs I enjoy making a contribution to my community and I see the Recreational and Cultural Complex as a facility which the whole community, from children to teens to adults to seniors, will be proud of and will greatly benefit from. It is very important that our citizens are offered a variety of strong recreational programs in a first class facility. The new complex will offer many exciting opportunities for our children and youth to engage in healthy recreational and cultural programs that will build interest and skills in activities that will benefit them now and in the future. I am particularly interested in the Cultural facility and the great opportunity such a facility offers for the enrichment and promotion of the performing arts in our community.
Yves Lalonde I believe that this is an excellent initiative that will profit the majority of the City’s population. We will have these facilities in our area without having to travel to Orleans or elsewhere for the same services. I wanted to do my part in order for this project to become reality. My daughters attend L’Escale and Ste-Trinité and they will profit from the Complex with their respective schools while I will use the recreational facilities and will attend various shows presented at the performance hall.

Vickie Brunet: As a fundraising activity, the Communication’s Committee had ordered awareness bracelets that are the colors of the fundraising campaign. The École secondaire L’Escale’s Student Council decided to encourage the sale and to contribute to the cause. The council members took the responsibility to sell those bracelets to their fellow students. “This complex will serve our school. It will give us, the local youths, something to do. After school, there is no place for us to meet. With the complex, we will be able to train at the gym or use the pool”, stated Vickie Brunet. This student is a good example of youth leadership for her commitment to the Recreational and Cultural Complex project. She participated in the youth focus group and in the official sod turning ceremony last March. As well as the bracelets sale, she also volunteers to sell tickets for the Ford Mustang draw, which will be held on October 14. The awareness bracelets are still on sale at
the campaign headquarters, at the City of Clarence-Rockland’s town
hall.
