To North Bay City Council,

While I appreciate the thoughtfulness expressed as city council considers the naming of the new recreation centre, it is my recommendation, and I hope that of others, that this decision will be made by a committee.

It should be made up of those with experience and history with both male and female athletes and builders in the city of North Bay.

There are many names to be considered over the course of the 100-year history of North Bay to be celebrated in 2025.
