I believe this is the perfect time for everyone to come together as one, to work as hard as we can together for our children.
I believe all choices should be made with the hopes of keeping the Point a public area for everyone to use and to increase its use.
I believe we can find a way to acknowledge the First Nations ownership of the land , the town of Fort Frances could form a partnership with these reserves (by becoming an equal owner of the land.. paying the reserves what would be owed as an equal share holder)
It would be the perfect area to add a childrens (family) facility that could be used all year round. For children to play & families to socialize without a huge cost, to help keep our children happy, full of excellent memories, off the street and off of drugs. Activities for children are endless and with the right resources, funding, education, time and support we can all work together to make this happen.
Of course this will be expensive but it is possible and most definitly worth it : fundraising, grants, and working together could make it possible.
Creating/keeping a place where we all could go together and feel we belong : break racial, social, economic barriers and just have FUN!. Our kids deserve it, dont you think?
