COP&~ITTEE REPORTS
Due to recent.: ciiB:cussions in Council and
in the local press, the Community Centre
Board submit the following report regarding
first a:ici facilities in the CollDlunity Centre.
As Council Members: realize, the Contractor
was requested tJ authorize the use of the
arena portion of the building so: that SIDme
use would be made of the building prior to
the end of the season. As a result, other
sections of the building were left in a
semi-completed condition and this applied
t.othe roolll designated as: the Fira:t J.id Room.
The room is now avai1able for us:e and
through the kindness. of the Civitan Club,
a grant of $300.00 has been. made available
to c.omple:t:ely autfi t this: room. In order
that speciali:&ed knowledge would be obtained
in obtaining the prope~ Wquipment, the
st. John~s; Ambulance were requested to prepane
the list of equipment. This has been. rece.iv.e:cl

and pass:e.d tu the Ci vi tan Club and it is:
anticipated that a .fully-equipped Firat·
Aid Room will be available in the immediate
.future.,.
However, C~uncil Members and Citizens o.f the
Town should realize that even with a .fUlly-
equipped First Aid Room, only injuries o£ a
minor nature can. be treated. For more serious:
injuries:, such as recently happened at the
Centre, medical att:ention is required. As
the occasion when a youf!g_ lady broke her leg_1
5 Doctors were contacted and they either would
not· or could not came to. the Centre 1 or a
more recent occ:asion, Doctors were agairr
eontc.eted with negative results. The prompt
action of the Newmarket Ambulance service is
worthy o.f Commendation.
For all activities, when large crowds g_ather 1 accidents may be expected. While it is:
agreed that possibly due to premature
opening of the Centre, the First Aid Room
was not readily available, your Board can
assure you that every consideration has been
given and will be given to the Welfare o.r· the
participants and users of the Community Centre.
WILLI.I'.i\4SON: "Resolved that the repor:t of
ILLINGIIJORTH: the Community Centre Board,
dated April 3, 1967, re
First Aid Room, be Accepted.

A copy of a letter and site plan .from Rocabore
Developments Ltd. the original had been
mailed direct to the Planning Board. The
Committee feels that this was done in error
and it should have been presented directly
to Council as this is a dUly r-e-gis:tered
site. Further more ~unci! has control of the

all further dealings with this company on

Councillor Illingworth presented a report of the Parks Committee
The Parks Committee met at 10.00 a.m. Saturday, April 1,1961
with all members present. Councillor Corbett and Parkskeeper
Norman Weller were in attendance. This meeting was called to
hear a proposal from Mr. Jack Moor~ ,e. resident of Aurora, and who
is an official of the Metropolitan Toronto Tourist and
Convention Bureau.
Mr. Moore stated that one of the best ways to improve the
economy of the Town, without adding an additional burd~n 1 to
the schools, services, etc. is the tourist trade. One dollar
spent to promote tourism normally returns one thousand dollars
to the general economy. A Town that does not have a
natural tourist attraction, can sometime build an attraction
that will draw people, especially if the attraction can be tied
into the history of the area and examples of this are the
automobile muse~~ in eshawa and the agricultural museum in Milton.
Mr. Moore advised that it is possible for the Town of Aurora to
acquire an attraction that would tie in with it · history of
being the terminal for the first railway in upper Canada, a
railroad museum coniisting Cf various engines, coaches and other
historical items.
Your Committee feels that this proposal has considerable merit and
would prove of economic value to the Town. A project of this
magnitude will require considerable investigation and study,
therefore, Your committee recommends that the Parks Committe~
plus such other personnel as may be required, be authorized to
investigate and study the feasibility of this proposal and
report its findings and recommendations to Council.
ILLINGWORTH:

REPORTS OF COMMITTEE
Councillor Illingworth presented a report of bhe Parks Comm.
PARKS COMMITTEE The Parks Committee met at 10.00 a.m. Saturday, April 1,1967, to
discuss the 1967 Budget and other items, with all members present.
SEVERAL ITEMS Councillor Corbett and Parkskeeper Norman Weller were in attendnace.
The folLwing items were discussed;
1. CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF EQ.UIPHE!'J!
Your Committee feels that Park benches, picnic tables, and other
equipment maintained in the Parks should be the responsibility
of the Parks Committee. It is realized that for many years the
Recreation Committee has carried out this responsibility in a very
capable and efficient manner. However, due to changes in staff,
it may no longer be possible for the recreation committee to carry
out this function, and the winter time duties of the Parkskeeper
included these duties. In general, it is the feeling of the
Committee that the Parks Committee provide the facilities and
equipment and the Recreation Committee and the citizens at large
be encouraged to make use of the facilities and equipment. It is the
intention of the Committee that this proposal be dicussed with th
Receeation Committee, but for budget purposes, certain expenditures
have been included in the Parks Budget. Your Committee also
recommends that the Q.uanset Hut, located near the Pollution Control
Centre, be dsignated as Parks Department storage and workhouse.
Firm recommendations will be made following meeting with Recreation
Committee.
2. REMOVAL OF TREES FROM McMAHON PARK
Your Committee recommends that a check be made with the Works Dept.
regarding the removal of diseased elm trees from McMahon Park.
3. :?.I-LAW L644-65
This by-law prohibites the use of all motorized vehicles from being
in or upon any highway , boulevard, park, park lot, garden, or other
place set apart for ornament or embellisment or public recreation
where signs are ond isplay prohibiting s~-~· Your Committee
recommends that immediate action be taken to erect the required signs,
so as to protect parklands, particularlyat this time of the year. In
addition, this By-law will apply to the use of skidoos in public d
parks during the winter seasnns, but this 1 _.1 aspect will be
dealt with more fully at a later date.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES CONTINU~
PARKS COMMITTEE 4. CONTROL OF USE OF PARKS
1fhile the use of Town Parks by all citizens is to be encourage
during this particular period, severe damage can be done to the
Parks. Therefore, your Committee recommends that organized
activities be not allowed in Park Areas, without the written
autnority of the Parks Committee, until ground conditions are such
that permanent damage will not be caused. Your Committee also
recommends that a letter be •;ritten to the Aurora School Boards
requesting their co-operation during this period.
5. MEMBERSHIP IN PARKS ASSOCIATION
Your Committee reco~~ends that the Town of Aurora join the
Ontario Parks Association.
6. THE CONSERVATION COUNCIL OF ONTARIO
Your Committee has authorized Councillor Trent and Norman Weller
to attend "A'' conference on Parks and OUtdoor recreation " tobe
held at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, On april 17 & 18,1967
and normal expense allowance to be issued.
7 . MEETINGS 1HTH VARTIOUS ORGANIZATIONS USING PARKS
Your Committee ~planto hold joint meetings with all organizations
using the Parks so that maximum benefit and use can be maintained.
8. S.II\LARY FOR PARKSKEEPER
Your Commit~ee recommends that the Parkskeeper be paid on a parity
with the other foremen on the Town Staff and that the Liaison Comm.
carry out a suudy regarding mutually agreeable arrangmeents for
overtime, extra duties, etc , for supervisory staff and submit
their findings and recommendations to Council.
