With respondents to a 2016 Oracle Poll carried out in Espanola indicating the lack of activities for youth being the top third priority, several parties are coming together to enhance a local park.
Espanola Economic Development Officer, Cheryl Kennelly, says The Espanola Family Health Team and Sudbury Public Health have been talking to United Way about partnering with the town for a new dirt pump track for youngsters.
She adds since Domtar Mill employees regularly contribute to United Way, the organization is keen to invest in Espanola on a project with long-standing benefits.
The United Way would be responsible for the installation of the track and in return, would ask the park be re-named “Wolves United Park” since a funding sources is the 50/50 draw with the Sudbury Wolves.
It has been suggested that Sherwood Park may be the ideal location.
The proposal will be to council tonight.
