Sir: This letter comes to express the dismay of the board, staff, members and volunteers of the Active Lifestyle Centre. In the past year, the Centre has had four incidents of vandalism. Of these break-ins, three were to our maintenance storage sheds.
A few weeks ago we replaced our gardening trailer and various tools. Again this week vandals stole a new lawn mower.
These items are very expensive, and constantly replacing them is costly to the Centre. As a non-profit organization, the money we will now have to spend to replace these items and repair the damage they have caused takes away from our programs and services.
We hope that the next time these thieves come calling, they will realize that they are in fact stealing from their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and anyone else who uses the seniors’ facility.
Linda Lucas,
Executive Director
Active Lifestyle Centre
On behalf of disheartened, board of directors, staff, members and volunteers of the Centre
