A town hall meeting, previously scheduled for 6:30 p.m., will now be held at 6 p.m. July 27 at Dumas Bay Centre, 3200 S.W. Dash Point Road, to discuss the future of the facility.

The council discussed closing the facility earlier this year, due to budget restraints. The council has since decided to keep the facility open and invites the public to learn more and contribute to a dialogue about Dumas Bay Centre.
