DELEGATIONS
Moved by Councillor D. Quick, seconded by Councillor
K. Matheson, that Mr. John Campbell, President,
Pickering Figure Skating Club, be heard.
Mr. Campbell had previously prepared a brief on the
subject of ice time for the Figure Skat~ng Club,
reviewing same with Council. His main request W4S
the allocation of ice time, which gives his Club more
hours during one session, with less sessions, i.e.
~ p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Thursday, and eliminating
the Tuesday seesion altogether, making it more
economical for his Club to operate from a point of
view of actual ice skating time and professional!88
skating instructors.
The Council entered into a lengthy debate with
Hr. Campbell without reaching any solution to the
problems presented.
Councillor Matheson proposed a motion recommending
that the Pickering Ice Skating Club be granted the ice
time required, with four hour sessions on Mondays and
Thursdays of each week between the hours of 4 p.m. .
and 8 p.m. and on Saturdays as allocated. He received
no support for his motion.
Mr. J. Campbell and Mr. D. Lewington departed from
the Chambers without reaching a compromise.
(Refer to Brief received from lIre J. Campbell and
report prepared by Mr. D. Bass.)
Mr. Campbell concluded that since Council did not
have the 1972-l973 schedules for ice time before
them, they were not fully appraised of the situation.
resulting in their particular problem.
Instructions - Mr. Bass to supply Council with copies
of the 1972-1973 ice schedules.
