There was applause in City Council chambers at the decision to keep some neighbourhood parkettes.
City Councillors voted not to sell properties on Black Bay Road and Thistle Crescent, hearing from residents like Garry Grgurich that they’ve enjoyed their local park for 60 years.
Grgurich says getting rid of the Thistle Crescent parkette wouldn’t help the community, noting it’s served as a skating rink, baseball field, and numerous other roles over the decades.
A third parkette on Holly Crescent was also not recommended to be put up for sale. (File Photo)
