Michael O'Bree is on a distinguished road
Steps taken so far:
- 14 Nov.: Emergency meeting of WIMAC Directors and a few members, two days after we heard from Grilli they were in the process of selling the land- the buyer was not disclosed.
- 15 Nov.: Directors shared their strategy and action plan with members which had been agreed at the emergency meeting. All agreed to continue to operate the Club going forward as normal, even though we may have to face the possibility of moving to a new location. All memberships for 2020 would be accepted, and the Indoor activities at College Charlemagne would proceed as planned Jan to March. If the Club lacked an outdoor Field for part of 2020, 2020 members would be entitled to an appropriate refund or future year credit based on reduced expenses.
- 15 Nov. to 12 Dec. - WIMAC Directors and a number of members work on implementing the strategy, which, until we learned who the land was being sold to, focused on searching for a new field. Various sites were being considered and some pursued from St. Eustache to St. Zotique.
- 12 Dec.: City of Montreal announces they have purchased the land.
- 12 Dec. - 17 Dec. Directors refocus their effort on extending our stay on the current Field. A document is developed to present our case to the City to stay where we are. Communication strategy developed to present case.
- 18 Dec. First contact made with Pierrefonds official. As expected, our next stop is with representatives of City of Montreal who are responsible for Grands Parcs Montreal.
