News - Bruce Brayman, president of the Greely Community Association, gave an update on the village’s coming arena on behalf of Alain Landriault. Landriault signed a collective agreement to purchase lands for a Sportsplex from the Sunset Lakes developer in October 2013. “A recreational facility has always been a part of our vision for Sunset Lakes and the Greely Village Centre,” Dan Anderson said in an October 2013 press release. Anderson, along with partner Marcel Renaud, co-founded the development in 1990. “This complex is set to become a community hub for Greely residents, providing

them with sports, recreation and community facilities,” he said. The privately-funded facility would include a twin-pad arena, an indoor soccer/ultimate field, a fitness facility as well as office space, classrooms and a restaurant. One of the arenas would seat up to 2,000 people. That which makes it an ideal location for small-scale concerts and events. Brayman said Landriault is still working on changing the zoning for the land. It will start at the far north end of the Sunset Lakes development and butting against Parkway Road to the north and the city’s planned soccer field park complex on the east side. He is also planning some kind of fundraising event in the village this fall. “He wants to do something fun with families, have people getting out and talking about what they’d like to see at the Sportsplex,” Brayman said, adding Landriault is looking to fundraise $10,000. “He wants to start off with a commitment from the community,” Brayman said. WHAT’S NEXT
Brayman said he’s still looking for volunteers to help organize the village’s Canada Day festivities. “It’s six weeks out,” he said. The next Greely Community Association meeting will take place the second Wednesday in June. The association will elect it’s new executive. For more information, visit www.greelycommunity.org.

ly Community Association meeting on May 14. “The water ‘budget’ looks at what goes into the system and what the demands are,” Di Lorio said. See WATER, page 2
