Response to Gathering Place Project Survey
I would like to thank everyone who submitted comments or completed our survey regarding the Gathering Place Project Concept Plan in last month’s edition. We appreciate your feedback and are factoring these into our planning process as we update and finalize our project design for the Signal Hill community property and will keep you informed of progress and plans through our website (shca.ca), this publication, and our e-newsletter for members.
