I have spoken to Carol at the Community Complex and she told me that I would have to make a request to you in writing and that the request would have to be approved by Council. A" the parents would be required to pick up their childnm Immediately, I would only need to use the Community Complex for a shon time if lhere were ever a need to evacuate. if there were a fire in the pl81.8, gas leak in the area. etc. We would walk the children to the Complex and the panmts would ~ noti lied immediately to pick up their . children. We would keep the children in a segregated area. possibly outside iflhe weather was nice. Wc would not be: there any Icn&th of time. but the idea is to have a meeting place arrc\nged for the parents. Since there an: nol many buildinas in the area. yuur Complex would be the idealloeation for me to use because it is a short distance to walk.
