Review. SPARA is very much alive and actively engaged _ in efforts to raise funds to build a sports complex. : We might ask the same -question, “WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO EXPRESSED A ~- DESIRE FOR SUCH A COM- PLEX”. SPARA holds open public meetings on the first and third Wednesdays of every month, at 8:00 P.M., in the Sidney Hotel... This is common it has been well advertised in the . media; however; it is seldom that anyone. other than the mem- bership come to these meetings. oo Sueh is not the case in respect. to the. student bedy at North ‘Saanich Secondary School.
