> Public Consultation The Future of the Leslie M. Frost Natural  
> Resources Centre

> The Frost Centre Working Committee would like you to tell them what  
> you value most about the Frost Centre, and how you would like to see  
> the facility and its 40-acre main campus used in the future.

> Background : The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) operated  
> the Frost Centre as a staff training and natural resource education  
> centre for over 50 years. Government groups, school boards and others  
> used the facilities. The Centre closed in July 2004 due to financial  
> constraints.
> The Government of Ontario established the Frost Centre Working  
> Committee to recommend a way to use the Frost Centre as an educational  
> facility. The Committee will consult with the public and work with  
> business interests to explore options that are financially viable,  
> sustainable and reflect the community's priorities. Note that the  
> Committee's work relates to the Frost Centre Facility and 40-acre main  
> campus only. The other Crown lands often referred to as the Frost  
> Centre Management Area remain under the management of the MNR.

> information package will be available on the Haliburton County Web  
> site (www.haliburtoncounty.ca) from March 12 until March 25, 2005.
