Re: Taking Pride in Their Work, Letter to the Editor, Jan. 27, 2010

A couple of weeks ago Tina Gionet in her letter to the Editor (Taking Pride in Their Work, Jan. 27th, 2010), wrote to congratulate township staff on the fine work they are doing. We could not agree more that there has been a noticeable difference in how the community is being maintained and cared for. The work they are doing is indeed noticeable, and appreciated by many.
We also wanted to comment on the new developments and improvements at our Kiwissa Ski Centre. Our family had the opportunity to ski Kiwissa this past weekend and experience the incredible snow conditions of the Main and Pine runs. Kiwissa members know what they are talking about when they say the hill is the best its ever been. The other improvements are also noticeable. The new runs, the improvements to the merge lanes, the clearing of the vegetation along the runs and the obvious pride put into the grooming are just some the some of the improvements. The newly build deck at the top of the hill offers what has to be one of the most spectacular views of the area. How it took 50 years to build a deck up there we don't know, but it does prove that you can put a couple hundred grand from a provincial grant into a facility, but it is always what people do with that money that matters. Dave Jung and his friendly staff along with the volunteers deserve the credit for the work that has gone into this facility or this "gem" as it is referred to by members and visitors alike. Thanks Dave for looking after this great facility.
