News Conference on Point Pleasant Park Clean-up
(Wednesday, November 26, 2003)-- Mayor Peter Kelly, Councillor Sue Uteck (District 13-Northwest Arm/South End) and Chief Administrative Officer George McLellan will hold a news conference to present details of the closure and clean-up of Point Pleasant Park.
With the exception of one weekend in October, the park has been closed to the public since Hurricane Juan caused substantial damage in late September. Approximately 70% of the park's trees were lost as a result of the hurricane.
When: Thursday, November 27/2003
Time: 1:30 pm
Where: Point Pleasant Park work depot, Point Pleasant Dr.
Note to Editors: Following the news conference, members of the news media will be offered a tour of the park's interior so they may obtain photos and video footage.
As there is limited parking at the depot, news media members are asked to park on Point Pleasant Dr. before entering the work depot.
