CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS MONDAY, JUNE 13.

The installation of a new 18-hole disc golf course in the Sunningdale area is closer to happening, as city council has agreed to pursue an agreement with the neighbourhood association.

During its May 23 regular meeting, council voted unanimously to approve the licensing and construction agreement with the Sunningdale VLA Community Association Inc. for the construction, use, operation and maintenance of a disc golf venue in Sunningdale Nature Park near the school.

This agreement occurred after the association pitched the project during the April 10 executive committee meeting.

City administration has worked closely over the past month with the association to develop a licensing and construction agreement that will meet the needs of both parties while creating new and exciting recreational opportunities, a council report explained.

The association is responsible for all capital construction and programming costs and for installing the course and signage for roughly $12,000.

Council comments

Coun. Crystal Froese pointed out that Wakamow Valley has an 18-hole disc golf course that’s popular, while the community disc golf club has over 250 members on its Facebook page. She’s seen people play in the winter, which indicates just how “hardcore” the sport is.

She wondered what would happen to the association’s money if it dissolved.
