Following Council approval, the UCC Group was awarded the contract to construct the Skate Park. Construction is anticipated to begin as soon as weather permits this spring. The Courtice Skateboard Park has since been re-named the Rob Piontek Skateboard Park. After the contract for the Rob Piontek Skateboard Park had been executed with UCC Group, Engineering Services has a series of discussions with St. Marys Cement in regards to donating concrete for this project. Through those discussions, St. Marys Cement generously agreed to donate all of the concrete required for the construction of the Rob Piontek Skateboard Park. The donation will result in a cost reduction of $25,225.00 to the project. It is recommended that St. Marys Cement be formally acknowledged for their generous donation and that a tax receipt be issued for the full amount of the donation.
