The following members were present: Bill Sanders, Bev Scalze, Nick Kent, Carl Spooner, Dan Drake and Jim Morelan. Jim Klassen, Community School Services Director for District 623 Schools gave a presentation on the summer school program being presented by the school dis- trict and community services. See attached schedule for days and times. Roseville Recreation will be contracted by the School District to present a recreation program to all students in the School District regardless in which community they live. They will not charge a non - resident fee. In addition to the attached program there will be a physical fitness program at Kellogg every morning from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. for ages 14 -18 for a S15.00 charge. Also, Jim Klassen mentioned getting a tennis lesson program together at either Kellogg or Capital View grades 5 and up. However, this program would be in cooperation with the City of Little Canada and Jim Morelan will be working out the details.- Mr. Klassen suggested that the City of Little Canada consider running a shuttle bus from Little Canada School since there will be no transportation provided this year and the programs will be at Central Park and Fairview and Parkview., If the Park Commission would like to have a program in their park, Mr. Klassen suggested that the City hire a good recreation oriented person for a 1 -4 p.m. program charging participants for the cost of staff and supplies. An adult person would cost $8.00 to $10.00 and a college student $4.00 to $5.00 for staff. After Mr. Kiassen's, presentation, discussion was tabled so Mr. Don Gagne could make his presentation to the Park Commission. Bev Scalze introduced Mr. Gagne as President of the Little Canada Historical Society. Mr. Gagne would like the Park Commission to consider purchasing land from Mrs. Mostad for the purpose of erecting a monument on the site of the first privately owned grist mill in the state. Built in 1843 for Ben Gervais on the creek about 200 ft. off Noel Drive - see attached lay out. Mr. Gagne and the Historical Society thought it would be appropriate to have a small park for people to look at the monument, etc. possible bike path, picnic tables. He said that old roadbed of LaBore Road is still visible by the creek. Bev Scalze mentioned the possibility of a Lawcon grant from the State which would be a 50 -50 grant but all applications are due April 30. It was decided to have Bill Sanders submit an application to the State even though we (Park Commission) are not sure of the amount of property or money involved. 13
