********************
Having the COVID assessment centre at Rotary Place is concerning to many.

Air flow does move between the two ice surfaces through adjoining tunnels. And outside doors opening create flow.

Could the testing centre not be moved to the vacant YMCA through some type of arrangement? There is ample parking and the gymnasium would be usable. Possibly federal or provincial funding may be available for some of the costs.

Just a suggestion.
