VIII. New Business

Stakeholders Meeting
• Update – 299 Roehampton is trying to build a new development
(supposed to donate $500,000 for field).
• Last spring a recession hit and therefore it was difficult to
develop, therefore they weren’t able to donate.
• The TTC wants to build a subway line, therefore they are doing
research before development, therefore they are waiting before
donating to our field.
• There will be a meeting on April 8th (at 4pm in room 114).
Student reps should come.
• K & G (architect) will be presenting at this meeting.
• Hopefully production will begin in late June and be ready for
September.
