Canatara cabin, restoration or rebuild

Whether or not to restore or replicate the log cabin in Canatara Park is up for discussion Monday.

Two delegations are planned at Sarnia council's regular meeting.

Mike Bradley says at least there's one shared vision.

"Everyone wants to see it remain," said Bradley. "Whether it's refurbishment or restoration, that's where the debate appears to be happening. I'm concerned, because if the direction of the Kiwanis Club has sought isn't followed, there's a very good chance funding will fall away from this project."

Bradley says there will be no decision made Monday.

"The issue has to go, by law, to the heritage committee and then they will make a recommendation to council. I would hope that would come fairly quickly, because there are some deadlines on funding and people who want to help on this particular project."

The building was originally owned by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hanna, a former MPP and President of Imperial Oil, and donated to the city by Lorne Hay, a former builder and city alderman.
