Noise concerns may halt amusement centre plans
Ian Graham and Wilf Desnoyers backed by Dave Cormier pressed a finance committee to approve a 5 acre amusement centre beside the water slide park. The plan centers on a go kart track with up to ten karts, muffled operation, and a 65 decibel noise estimate, raising concerns from planning bodies about campground peace. The final decision rests with council, with talks of electric karts as an alternative.

MPC denies restaurant development at 1299 Trans-Canada Hwy
The Municipal Planning Commission refused Antonio's restaurant proposal at 1299 Trans-Canada Highway S.E. for not meeting parking rules. Vic Link says the 36-seat plan in three bays needs 24 stalls, but only eight are provided. The site currently runs a takeout service from one bay and a prior smaller restaurant attempt was abandoned in July 1980 due to parking concerns.
