community.
Response to Initial Working Objectives
To develop a 'acility that will:
Support the needs of organized sports teams. sports tourism and
increase participation
- This objective was the major focus of the 2007 study and is
addressed by the recommendations of that Report.
Support url>an renewal of the north Saint John community
Address local recreation needs of the north Saint John community
- These are both reasonable objectives, however the scope of 2007
study did not incorporate review components required to make
recommendations related to these objectives.
Recreation Facilities Committee Report (2004) - review
Considerable valuable information gathered and documented
Some information in need of updating (done with 2007 study)
Quantifiable data re: use needed (gathered in 2007 study)
Recommendations generally sound although final concepts may
have been constrained by loeational considerations and options.

Potential sites evaluated to date
The Lord Beaverbrook Arena Site
- The site is appropriate on many of the criteria. However, it is not
large enough to accommodate the recommended facility. It is
also less desirable as a location for stakeholder groups in
suburban communities.
Location in East Saint John
- The location is appropriate on all criteria. Site acquisition costs
are not known at this time and will need to be negotiated.
