New Bocce Courts at Fairbank Centre for Seniors

Ward 28, York-Eglinton

Councillor Mihevc

(October 28, 1999)

In the summer of this year, work was completed on new, indoor bocce courts at York-Fairbank Centre for Seniors. The contractor was contacted shortly after the courts were finished with a list of complaints re problems with the courts. The contractor has not fixed any of the problems and is not returning calls from the centre.

The members of the centre have submitted a petition to my office asking that the following issues be addressed as soon as possible:

1. All wood should be treated (due to humidity, etc.)

2. The echo in the bocce courtyard is extremely loud and should be rectified.

3. A control box for heating should be installed due to drastic fluctuations in temperature.

4. The fence on both sides of the lanes should be extended by a minimum of 5 ft.

I would ask that staff work directly with the contractor and report back with action taken.
