Committee Reports:
1. Chair Report — Danielle — Fire & Ice, February 26, 2023. Planning in progress. Seeking
organizations to exhibit their events or services that will benefit community.
Floor stripping and waxing of the main auditorium was completed in December. Floors look
great. The same person is willing to strip and wax the north room and bar floors. All agreed. The
hall is vacant during the week of February 19-25 for this job to be completed.
Ladder Training -waiting for The Municipality to provide a number to charge the training, as the
link we received required payment.
Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held February 17 at 7pm. The regular monthly
meeting will be held following the AGM at 8pm.
2. Maintenance Report— Larry— Furnace in north basement is not working AGAIN. For a new
furnace (less than 5 years old) we have had nothing but problems. It has never worked properly
from day 1. The Municipality has placed electric heaters in the north room to prevent freezing
pipe recurrence, but this is driving our electricity bill up very high. We are also burning more
propane, as we are keeping the south furnaces on high temperatures and circulating air from
main auditorium to the north room. Municipal staff have ordered a new heat exchanger.
New dehumidifier in north basement is working well.
New panic bar has been placed on north west door.
Tim W. has advised the Municipality has placed an order to replace damaged items from the
accidental discharge of the fire suppression system, by the company that was hired to test the
fire system.
Rubber handicap curbs in the parking lot are damaged and dislocated by snow removal truck.
All agreed these curbs are not needed, as the signage is appropriate. Although the curb is a
barrier between the parking lot and the garden, no damage would be done if someone drove
onto the grass.
3. Rentals — Joy — Moved by Joy, seconded by Greg to increase rental cost for weddings and Jack &
Jills from $500 to $600/day. All in favour. Carried.
4. Treasurer Report — Brian Glaspell — in chequing approx $23,000.00, savings approx. $25,000.00.
Brian provided everyone a copy of the 2022 financial totals, showing 2022 profit of $11,406.90.
5. Dance Report — Dave — December attendance was low, but a better crowd was in attendance in
January, with a profit of approximately $1000.
6. Breakfast with Santa — Jackie — This was a great event. Full house. We collected a truck load of
food donations for the salvation army, as well as approximately $300 cash donations.
New Business:
February 26, 2023, Fire and Ice will run 1-4pm. This is a free family event for community to
