City council has decided to let the Community Forest board reinvest profits into acquiring more forest land, instead of putting that money towards a new aquatic center.
Mayor Mike Ruttan says the aquatic center is still a priority, but he believes the Alberni – Clayoquot Regional District should be a bigger funding partner for the project.
Ruttan said the Community Forest Legacy fund has more than $100,000 in their account, and the city is the lone shareholder, and has the power to allocate dividends.
