Dream the impossible sometimes it does happen

It only seems like yesterday we were reading the stories, the editorials, you remember the "death of education in the Crowsnest Pass", "where will our young people receive an education", "throwing groups out in to the street".
Well I said it then and I will say it again fear mongering, if there is truly a need for something in a community that program or service will be provided its not about a building its about the service.
May 18 council was informed by our Community Services Director that he as a Memorandum Of Understanding with the LCC to relocate the Learning Consortium to the MDM.
I remember many people within council chambers and on the streets telling me that they would never relocate. Coming shortly instead of having two community centres running have empty we will have one running close to full.
Does that not make sense?

Anyway I will pass it back to the fear mongers what will it be next? they will move the Golf course? they will move the ski hill.

Isn't a community about having facilities spread out through the whole community, remember according to Census Canada 60% of our population lives somewhere other than Blairmore.
We now have a true Community Centre in Bellevue, a Ski Hill, swimming pool, Indoor sports facility at the Albert Stella in Blairmore, and an arena in Coleman.
