Parks Commission Takes East End Grounds for 1924
At a special Board of Education meeting the Parks Commission won unanimous approval to assume care of the East End collegiate grounds for 1924 at a nominal rent. The move follows a Parks request and a town clerk notice that the old site will be unused by the council after tourists camp ends. Members, including Dr W Richardson and Dr L J Simpson, voiced confidence in the Parks Commission to manage the property beneficially. Attendance figures for June from Prince of Wales, Victoria, King Edward, and King George schools were presented with corresponding penny bank deposits.
