Victoria Park update Shaun Gregory Huron Expositor On November 17, Maureen Agar, the person solely responsible for the launching of a $20,000 revamping pro- ject at Victoria Park, provided council with an update on the venture. Being the director of the Huron East/Seaforth Community Devel- opment Trust, Agar approached the organization with a specific idea to spruce up the old recrea- tional area. "I went to the trust and said if I volunteer to do the coordination will we put some more money into do this stuff? And they agreed," said Agar outside the council chambers. She mentioned to the Expositor that this was one of those projects that needed to be spearheaded by an unpaid helper. Agar also indi- cated that a donation from the fam- ily of Barb Box of $5,000 was a more than a generous contribution, which helped substantially. "You know (what) when there is not enough money for the munici- pality, something's (got to go to) the bottom of the list," she said. Currently the concert stage has been fully painted and mulch has been added to all the trees. Flowers and shrubs have also been planted along with several other landscap- ing initiatives that are slated for the future. There have been a few set- backs due to the weather, but Agar is certain that will not have an affect on the finished product. "I like the community, there are people that do things and there's volunteers that do a lot more;" con- cluded Agar.
