The plan to fundraise and purchase the Rabbit Canyon property for public use is officially underway.
Parry Sound’s Town Council tasked Andrea McIntyre with establishing fundraising efforts to purchase the property in Tuesday’s meeting.
“You obviously know the value of the trail to the public, you know the beauty of the shoreline and we want to maintain that,” she said.
McIntyre will be spearheading a fundraising campaign to raise money to buy the property from the owner.
“I have spoken to the owner’s agent who has not revealed to me actually the name of the owner and I am not sure why, the assessed value of the property is $95,000 the owner has paid taxes for the last 30 years so I figured that if the owner could at least recoup most of those costs they might be willing to sell,”

Staff at the Bobby Orr Community Centre will be removing the ice earlier than usual from the centre to save up on costs.
Parry Sound’s Town Council agreed that if the provincial state of emergency is lifted before February 20th and the ice time rental demand stays the same the ice will be reinstalled promptly unless any other directives from the province or the health unit are issued.
Tuesday’s meeting saw the council agree that the nearly $9,875 in energy bills to keep the ice in for the remainder of the season was not worth it.
