THIRD REGULAR MEETING -8-FEBRUARY 1, 1971.
Mayor's Report No. 8 Cont'd
The guest speaker was Mr. Robert Smith, YMCA Field Consultant. Mr. Smith outlined
the various steps required to set up a YM/YWCA in the community. The first and most
important item is the establishment of a need. Once the need has been determined,
a provisional Board of Directors is set up to raise the necessary funds, and it is
estimated that a minimum of $20,000.00 would be required to operate the facility.
No grants are available and the money must be raised from the public and revenue.
A minimum population of 20,000 is required to support a YM/YWCA.
In general, it was stated that the YM/YWCA should not duplicate the services presently
available through Municipal Recreational facilities or other organizations and that
whereas recreation fulfilled a general function, the YM/YWCA filleda more specific
requirement.
As the Recreation Directors of Newmarket and Aurora are in the process of preparing
a recreational survey for their respective Towns, it was agreed that this survey
should be completed first end a second meeting to be convened by the Kiwanis Club.
It is recommended that the Kiwanis be commended for their action in convening this
meeting and that Parks & Recreation Committee support the survey to be carried out
by the Recreation Committee.
