I hear there is a campaign underway as we speak that is encouraging people to bring shovels with them to tonight’s budget public meeting at the Lumley-Bayshore to show support for Owen Sound’s rec centre project.
City hall sources say their e-mail has been “on fire” with letters of support for the facility.
The weekend activity is due to comments by Mayor Ruth Lovell Stanners, printed in Saturday’s Sun Times, that she does not support spending more taxpayer money on the project.
The $38-million project is behind schedule and over budget. The Sun Times will be at tonight’s meeting.
