3.0 Fundraiser on the Waterfront
Councillor McLean provided some background information of
Darius, the 7-year old drummer and two boys in the community
who are suffering from cancer.
Councillor O'Connell provided an overview of the proposed
Waterfront event to be held in September. The Committee has
expressed an interest in providing a BBQ event on the Waterfront
and tying it in with fundraising for cancer research. Suggestions
for the event included;
• An educational booth on the Waterfront Coordinating
Committee to engage residents and to get an idea of their
future vision for the Waterfront.
• Councillor McLean to evaluate the financial needs of the
two boys with cancer prior to allocating any money being
raised for them and report back to the Committee.
• Councillor Dickerson suggested a hands-on approach,
such as a 3D model of the Waterfront for residents to
manipulate to show their vision. Councillor O'Connell to
contact the Planning & Development Department to
determine if this is feasible.
i
• C. Bamford suggested the creation of a questionnaire to
obtain a profile of the current users of the Waterfront.
• Tentative, date for the event is Sunday, September 6th
beginning with a BBQ at 4:30 and possibly a movie and
drumming act by Darius.
• Councillor O'Connell to confirm with Enbridge for their
participation in the BBQ and to determine if a movie is
fiscally feasible.
• As the educational booth will 'require Committee members
to run, members are to advise if they are available on
September 6tn
