Editor:
A digital copy of the Sept. 1 Burnaby NOW was forwarded to me by one of our members regarding the Confederation community centre changes.
The heading of “City unveils design of 127M Burnaby Heights Community Centre.” As you can appreciate, the heading and story attached to it has caused quite a stir in our community.
The reason behind the “stir” is the omission of the seniors centre.
In early dialogue with the city planners and research team, we the members of the Seniors Community Centre, we pleaded that the removal of the seniors centre building would be devastating and that we would like to have it included in the new facilities.
The picture in the Burnaby NOW omits the seniors building entirely and we hope that this is an oversight.
We have enjoyed our freedom when attending the centre and feel if we are given “space” in a new multi-use building, our freedom will be removed.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Pete Kauhausen, CSA president, Confederation Seniors Centre
