Report from Finance Council - Heating unitsThank you all for your generous contributions to the parish for the replacement of the heating units. At the end of January, we had collected almost $41,800 for this project.Since the temporary repairs are working, after receiving quotes to replace the same size units, the Finance Council has decided to investigate whether improvements in technology over the last 25 years will allow us to purchase smaller, more efficient units without sacrificing the heat provided to the building. We would also like to investigate whether the flat roofs will be able to support new units for the next 25 years. This work is ongoing and is likely that a decision on replacing the units will now not take place until the spring.In the meantime, the collected funds will be set aside and reserved for their intended purpose. Once the final costs are known, we will advise the parish if additional funds are required.
