Collingwood councillors were again met by protestors as they arrived for their council meeting on Monday.

The group Friends of the Collingwood Central Park Project and their supporters are upset with what they say was a quick council decision with no public input to cover the Centennial pool at Heritage Park and build a single ice pad at Central Park.

The two projects will cost 11.6 million dollars plus operating costs.

Protestors rallied outside town hall last Monday and yesterday afternoon, a march was held from Central Park to town hall.

Please join us on Monday, September 17th at 4 pm at the Hume Street sign for Central Park. At 4 pm, all Friends of Central Park will walk as a group to the Collingwood Town Hall in protest of the lack of transparency in the town's recent decision.

We will have signs available that read "DO IT ONCE, DO IT RIGHT!". If you still have your sign from the previous protest, please bring it along. 

PLEASE PASS ALONG THIS MESSAGE. We hope that more than 300 people will commit and help to voice this collective concern.
