Russell and Embrun arenas to undergo inspection
GREGGCHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
EMBRUN | People get physical checkups as they get older. So do municipal build- ings like local arenas. The arenas in Embrun and Russell will both undergo a structural review. Before breaking for the summer recess, township council approved a resolution authorizing administration to prepare a request for pro- posals (RFP) for engineering inspections of the two facilities. The original resolution concerned just the five-decade-old Embrun Arena. The recre- ational facility was built in 1962 and had an expected life cycle of 50 years. The arena is two years older than that now and the

township needs to have an inspection done to determine whether or not it is feasible
to extend the life of the structure or if the municipality has to start looking at budget- ing for a new arena for Embrun. During discussion of the report, Mayor Jean-Paul St-Pierre noted that the present Russell Arena’s construction dates from the 1970s and that the township will soon have to look at a structural review of that facility
soon. Coun. Jamie Laurin said any struc- tural review for the Embrun Arena should include the Russell fa- cility also.
The arenas in Embrun and Russell will both undergo a structural review.
Council agreed to alter the original reso- lution and have ad- ministration prepare
an RFP for consultant bids on a structural review for both the Embrun and Russell are- nas.

Community grant approved This year’s Terry Fox Run will have a little extra financial help from the township. Before their summer break, council members approved a $300 community grant request from the organizing committee for the Terry Fox Run in Russell Township. The money will assist with rental of portapotties for participants in the annual cancer awareness fundraiser event. Since the Terry Fox Run be- gan in 1982 in Russell Township the annual participation rate has swel- led each year with the 2013 event seeing more than 220 runners, wal- kers, and cyclists taking part. Council accepted the administration’s recommendations and passed a resolution to adjust the salary scales for the township daycares, effective August 18 prior to final hiring decisions for the facilities before the start of September. cent effective the middle of August this year. Township council reviewed and approved a report from administration concerning the existing pay scale for employees at the municipal daycares. The report noted that the most recent revision of the salaries guide still did not make the township com- petitive enough with municipal and other daycares in neighbouring communities. “Since we are opening a new service for before- and after-school,” the report stated, “we will need a number of qualified individ- uals. In order to attract candidates, we have to assure that we can offer competitive sala- ries to them.”
