Jackman Chess Club Seeks Community Volunteers!

The Jackman Chess Club is actively seeking a parent or community volunteer to assist with weekly coaching. If you have a good knowledge of the game of chess, are comfortable working with groups of students across the grades and are available once a week during lunch time – please contact Kamran Jaffray at or call 416-348-4354.

Think your parent or neighbor might be great in this role? Please forward this information to them! You don’t have to be an expert, but should have a good understanding of the game and the ability to share your knowledge with Jackman students. Our Chess Club has been a very successful and popular program in the past and we hope to offer this skillful and fun activity to students again this year.

DEFER NEW PERMIT FEES

While we understand that the City sees a need to charge fees to all recreation users on a cost recovery basis, one could argue that these services are covered by our property taxes. Therefore the question becomes: Where did the numbers come from for the cost recovery analysis? Is the budget estimate of $1.5M from permit fees a realistic number? The actual amount will most likely be significantly less. Therefore it would not be onerous for the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department to absorb this until a proper process is put in place.We are requesting that Council:Direct Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff to withhold collection of fees for one year to give these organizations the opportunity to build the new permit fees into their registration fees.
