New Parks Director Starts Wednesday

Sarnia's new Director of Parks and Recreation thinks challenges facing the city are not that dissimilar from challenges occuring in other communities.

Beth Gignac comes to the city with over 20 years of Management experience in the city of Mississauga and most recently the city of Calgary.

She says communities that think, plan and act together can tackle challenges together.

Sarnia Council decided this past summer to delay making decisions on Sarnia's arenas until 2015.

Gignac's first day with the city is November 19.
