Future Facility
Update April 7, 2021
Following a written request to the District of Sechelt for an update on the delayed report from staff regarding our facility proposal, we received correspondence from them indicating that a detailed land planning assessment was needed for the land between the tennis club and the arena. The correspondence also indicated that such a review was not on staff's 2021 work schedule due to budgetary limitations.
