Lynn Valley Community
Association (LVCA), told
council that it had the opportu-
nity of restoring the box at the
present site for one-tenth the
cost of relocating it.

“The LVCA has already
received donations for this pur-
pose,” said Enis,

“Be careful of crying chil-
dren,” warned Bushnell Place
tesid.nt Robert Poburko. He

was referring to Ross Road
school children who spoke to
council last year on the need
for the lacrosse box space.
The children and parent
advisory council members told
council last year that the
school would be losing dedi-
cated elementary play space to

-a new drop-off and turnaround.

But according to Poburko and
school parent Kathy Fitch that

is no longer the case.

Parks staff say there is
enough space at the school to
accommodate the Parent
Advisory Council playground
and playing field plans and the
lacrosse box.

An outdoor lacrosse box,
skateboard and basketball
facility would be possible at
Karen Magnussen Arena at a
cost of over $220,000.
