Council directed to maintain status quo, and make repairs on the centre as needed, continue to monitor the condition of the building until such time that it is unsafe to occupy and to direct staff to complete research on options for constructing a new community centre in Hudson.”
A survey has been developed for Hudson residents. According to the Municipality, it should take about 10 minutes to complete. The survey seeks to obtain input from Hudson residents such as how many times a member of their household visited the Lost Lake Drop-in Centre in the last one to three years, would members of their household visit a new community centre, what types of activities they would like to see in a potential new community centre, and “To ensure that community recreation, social and leisure needs are better met through the development of a Community Centre in Hudson, are you willing to pay additional property taxes?”
