However, council made it clear that the 75-year-old building at Sarsons Beach Park would continue to operate for the foreseeable future.

The Seniors Society has a no-rental agreement with the city in exchange for running several programs out of the centre. The city offers other programming and rentals on evenings and weekends.

Staff told council that the building needs several repairs. The roof is failing, insulation is poor and the water heater, furnace and air conditioner are at or beyond their service life.

The city will spend approximately $180,000 for immediate maintenance items, including the roof, and about $740,000 over the next 10 years to keep the building in good condition.

The centre generates revenue of about $40,000 and nets approximately $10,000 after deducting programming costs. Operating and maintenance costs come in at around $35,000 a year.

Coun. Mohini Singh encouraged the Seniors Society with their fundraising efforts to help cover costs.

香蕉视频直播淪o this doesn香蕉视频直播檛 go into taxpayer coffers to have to maintain,香蕉视频直播 she added. 香蕉视频直播淭hank you for your ongoing advocacy and thank you, staff.
