Chapleau Council Considers CHS 100th Reunion Requests

Chapleau Council's considering new requests to support the upcoming Chapleau High School 100th reunion.

While Council previously issued a statement explaining its position on support for the reunion - noting financial difficulties - a trio of requests from the reunion committee were heard in a recent Council meeting: that the committee be able to use the Recreation Centre for the event; that Council help with liability insurance; and that Township staff help sell tickets.

Mayor Michael Levesque says Council's considering two of those, but has rejected the other.

Mayor Levesque notes Council's more hesitant to provide the Recreation Centre for free after spending $2.5-million for upgrades to the facility, while the Township's insurance policy has jumped by $17,000 a year.

As for ticket sales, he says technology-based options have been suggested.
