By CAMERON J. WOOD
The Advance -Times
Recreation in Wingham has been
under the looking glass for several
months and the final report was
submitted to council Monday night.
The study was completed this
summer by Richard McDole, a Wil-
frid Laurier University MBA stu- '

Dave Tiffin, chairman of the
Wingham Parks, Arena, Recreation

nition of a recreation director,

reporting process.
