park's tree -line, the Gazebo and
Bandstand, dedicated in June of 2002,
was left destroyed, and has since
been removed from the area. As a
nor piece in the community's gath -

perfect o tu

what could be imagined if the struc-
ture is slated to be rebuilt.
°T1 a BIA and the public will have
input on things like the bandstand.
''hat could be a perfect solution to the
downtown's public washrooms need;
Maybe entertainers could share ideas
on looking at a more stage -like
aspect; it's an opportunity to take our
wish -list to them. It's also a time
when young people, for example
those interested in a skate -park in the
community, can come and share
their thoughts."
In the case of the Bandstand, it's a
municipally owned structure. It was
built in 2002, commemorating the
175th anniversary of the Town of
Goderich, and 25th Anniversary of
downtown Business Improvement
Area.
"It's great that the Town is hosting
a meeting like -this. Instead of going
off, planning and then telling the
community, 'this is what we're going
to do, they're including everyone
from the beginning. I'm glad they're
doing it"
The public meeting will take place
from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the
Goderich District Collegiate Institute
on September 24.
