| The building and
the property will be turned into a "conservation classroom" for Central
Algoma.
The Centre will have an
archery range, workshops, classroom and a small meeting area with full
service kitchen. The indoor archery
range will make year 'round archery instruction possible. The workshops
will be available to local youth groups to make bird houses, nesting boxes
and any other conservation related projects. The classroom and meeting
room will be available to the public for small functions as well as groups
such as Cubs, Scouts and other youth groups.
The property will be a
hands-on classroom of conservation practices. Food plot techniques, wood
lot management and wildlife conservation will be among the topics taught
on a long - term basis so students can see the fruits of their labour. The
centre will also be heated by solar panels, so, the building will be a
working display of alternative energy use.
The property will also be
the home of a campground for the exclusive use of youth groups in the
area. The existing man - made pond will be improved and stocked with fish
to introduce the joys of fishing to disabled children.
