Some big news to tell you. Really the biggest news we've ever had with the exception of announcing our existance back in '07. And we are so happy to share it with you. Since our inception we have been seeking a major partner for the project. Rather than scraping for funding from many sources we were hoping that someone would see this project and say, "we've got it covered." That seems a lot to ask but one can always dream, right? Well, That dream has come true for us. Last night, in council chambers, LRRA formally announced its new friend and partner in this project, Irving Oil. Wow.
The folks at Irving Oil have pledged to work towards making this park a reality, and really, we can't think of a better organization to have on our side. They have a great history of working with the community, they are here in the community, they value the sense of community and they do things right. We are so pleased.
From the moment we showed them the project they loved it. They realized its potential as a wonderful asset to the community just as much as everyone else who has seen it has. And with this committment, the park is one step closer to reality.
We'll keep you all posted on news as it comes in, but today we are happy. Today is a good news day.
