The Glace Bay Hospital Charitable Foundation is looking for donations, not money; but time.

Chair Cathy Power says the foundation’s membership has shrunk from around 100 at one time to 20 now.  So they are looking for new members.

Power told the Cape Breton Post membership dues are just $20 a year, but what they really need is time from people to help raise money for the foundation to buy equipment for the hospital.  She says they will be holding a meet and greet at the Glace Bay fire station on Friday December 16th from 4:00pm to 6:00pm to answer the questions of anyone who is interested.

CBRM is conducting a survey to get feedback from the public on downtown Sydney and the futre of Charlotte Street. Mainly it’s looking for ideas about parking and transportation.

Rick McCready, senior planner with CBRM, told the Cape Breton Post the survey has been online for about a week and will stay open for about another week at Surveymonkey.com. Public meetings have already been held with citizens and business owners,and this survey is a supplement to that.
