Another Piece Of The Puzzle

Last term ,I voted against the re-organisation study and  its  recommendations.

I've seen nothing  since to persuade me I was wrong.

I   find things that convince me the plan was as bad as I thought it was.

Responsibilities were shifted between departments. Management of facilities was transferred to the domain of  Infrastucture and Environmental services from Leisure Services .

Leisure Services provides the programs within the facilities. Half the department's responsibility  was  managing and maintaining the space needed for the variety of programs provided by the department

It takes skill. It takes experience. 

A clause in the Culture Centre Agreement requires the town to approve  lease agreements for space within the centre.

The first decision made by the  Centre board was  to lease  space intended for the museum to the York Region Arts something or other. Request for approval went to Environment and Infrastructure. They gave it. 

Why wouldn't they? What would  they know ? Management of  facilities to provide for  needs of groups requiring space  for different  programs was not a skill they possessed.

In the "re-org" they got the manager of facility maintenance. Management of space stayed with Leisure Services.

Ergo...chaos and confusion.

  1. once again, when it comes to the Aurora Cultural Centre, you have no idea what you are talking about but nice job on spreading half truths and innuendo. thousands of visitors to the centre have found great joy in the programs , moving exhibits like the Faces of war put on by AHS last few weeks and just a great addition to our community. Week after week of negativity from you .........it's getting tiresome.
