In not supporting. The concept plan, and it was simply because I felt there was room for a compromise to include. A small amount of affordable housing, and I haven't changed my view on that. And I think because of the constraints of this piece of property, That could have been incorporated quite nicely into the design, however.

worship, and thank you very much for bringing this forward. I really like the plan. One of the things that I thought about. After the open house. Is beside that house. There's a really nice natural hill there, and at the bottom of the hill, you could set up a cultural space. In the planet talks about. Potential outdoor classroom area, and that seems like a very natural area to do that. That could actually be a cultural space. You look at in Bowen park? That little amphitheater that's right by the duck? Pond. That is a very, very well used space. You need to book that in advance. If you want to do something in the summertime, and it'd be nice to see more little. Kind of cultural. Venues like that outdoors in our cult spaces, and that seems like a real natural fit. One of the other things I was just going to ask about is. Working with service clubs because often service clubs like to get involved in our parts, and we see what's happened down in Theosutton park and Rotary bowl. And the rotary fields. I'm just wondering if that's a consideration, and I hope that it is. Because often our service clubs really get excited about these kind of things. Through the chair of Councilor

Manley. Most definitely. We would be looking at assembling partners who would work with us on future capital initiatives and that center Hill area is identified as a gathering area. It's undefined as to what that is, but we would be very happy to work with partners on achieving programmatic elements like that, as well as any other amenities on the site. This is definitely something that we know is loved by a number of partners, and it certainly will help to provide impotence to the capital initiatives if there are partners available to work with. So we would love service clubs to come forward or other growing partners and definitely a range of partnerships for success. Thank you. I
