City weighs turning old Elizabeth Street School into recreation hub
The community services committee moves to test boilers and renovate the 824 1th St. S.E. building to serve as a recreation facility. Estimated boiler tests cost 5 000 to 10 000 dollars with total renovation around 34 750 dollars and annual operating cost about 46 000 dollars. The site now stores city items after Medicine Hat Day Care Centre closed amid high repair costs. Alderman Pete Simpson backs using 50 000 bylaw funds, most unused, for boiler tests and upgrades.
