BURLINGTON, ON
There will be life at the marina.
The LaSalle Park Marina Association has secured the insurance they needed; a crane has been booked and the lift in is set for June 16th.
Boats will go into water on the 16th
The city hasn’t has had to put in as much as a dime. The LPMA paid for the services of a lawyer the city was going to bring in to oversee the joint venture loan agreements. The LPMA is paying for the use of the waterlots that are owned by Hamilton and the LPMA is continuing to pay the fees that are part of the agreement they have with the city.
The thought that the city would have to take over operation of the marina – won’t happen.
They will be hoisting the pewter mugs with tots of rum when the lift in is complete.
Congratulations on a job well done by LPMA. Reminds us of Churchill: “Never, never, ever give up.” You believed sufficiently in yourselves, rather than the city being the solution to the loss of your insurance and your faith backed by your efforts have paid off.
