That group sure can't afford to hold their meetings at the Civic Center -- it would cost too much!

Any "ordinary" citizens in that group?

Karl Binns is an ordinary kinda guy. He's a big man, with a PhD but he's still an ordinary kinda guy. Looks like he is the only minority on the commission, how sad is that?

Joe,
I have it on very good info. that you would not want Michael Day on any committee. He was on the Chipman Center board and was in control of its finances. They lost over $30,000 due to his greedy hands in the till. I do believe that if you can get someone to talk from the inside about it you will find this is true. He is a criminal from Barrie's administration.
