COTTAM RINK POPULAR WINTER SPOT
COTTAM — The Cottam Rotary Park pond is a nice place to picnic in the summer, but the pond takes on a life of its own during winter months. Through the efforts of neighbour Graham Murray, the ice remains skateable as long as weather allows. Mr. Murray has been shoveling the ice for several years so that neighbours, friends and strangers can benefit from the skating surface. He’s reached out to the Town of Kingsville to see if they would consider taking over the snow
removal and preparation. Councillor Larry Patterson was at the pond Saturday afternoon to see the skaters in action and said he’s working on getting the municipality to help out in prepping the ice surface on a regular basis. Of course, the problem is always liability, but Patterson said they are working on a possible solution. Here, several ice enthusiasts enjoy the pond on Saturday, January 29. SUN photo

plan, and then tweak it as needed when zoning amendment meetings are held. One of the concerns by council was the 1.2 parking spaces per unit that the plan allows. “I’d really like to see that at 1.5 spaces,” said Councillor Tim Wilkinson, acknowledging that it may reduce the number of housing units on the property. Many council members spoke in support of the cadets and Councillor John Hammond offered a possiJOHN HAMMOND ble solution. “Perhaps we can explore them using the basement of the complex and allowing meeting and classroom space upstairs,” he said. “They are definitely a valuable part of the community,” said Mayor MacDonald. It was decided to amend the recommendation, adding a clause that states the municipality will seek legal advice as to the cadet building before moving forward. The recommendation was then put to a vote, and unanimously passed. “We’re hoping for several applicants to the RFP,” said Mayor MacDonald. “It needs to be very inclusive and not just for one element of the population.” The matter will return to council during zoning discussions once there are applicants for the RFP, where changes and tweaks can be made to the concept plan. RFP applicants can also present their own design ideas. If all goes well, construction will begin in the spring of 2023.
