Ian Thorpe Yes

No, this is good. Councillor Thorpe. Thank you very much to worship through you. If I may to Ms. Mercer, I appreciated the report. And I appreciate the rationale for not including the Mafeo Sutton washroom improvements, which I think are long overdue. However, I take your wise advice. On your recommendations. I did note the absence of any reference to the South End Community Centre. And I'm assuming that's because that project would not be shovel ready within 12 months. And I'm seeing hearty nods.
