The head of the Indian Friendship Centre plans to tackle opposition to a proposed youth centre on High Street head on. Bernice Dubec told councillors she doesn't believe there will be an increase in vandalism in the neighbourhood as a result of the new facility. Meantime the councillor for the area, Paul Pugh, came out in full support of the project saying it will be a community building in a residential area.
Officials are asking city councillors to support the proposed 9.8 million dollar centre. The issue will be back before councillors in the new year.
