A petition with 300 signatures opposing a proposed youth centre partnership between the City and the Indian Friendship Centre is going to City Council tonight. Councillor Larry Hebert isn't sure how this might impact the proposed partnership. The Friendship Centre wants 2 and a half million dollars from the City to purchase and renovate the Prosvita Hall on High Street and an extra 300 thousand dollars a year for operating costs. Meanwhile, City Transit wants to rename its HAGI transit division "lift+". Councillor Larry Hebert isn't keen on the new name. Council will vote Monday night on whether or not to approve the new name.
