Wellness centre members seek refunds as management changes
Montague wellness centre has moved to a non-profit model
The new board of directors of a fitness centre in eastern P.E.I. will be trying to help members who can't get a refund from the previous operator.
The issue came up at a public meeting on the future of Town and County Aquatics Plus in Montague.
T-CAP had been run by a private operator for 12 years. A board is now running the facility as a not-for-profit, hoping to take advantage of federal and provincial funding.
People who had paid memberships with the private operator who was running the facility asked if they would get credit for unused portions of their fees. The board says anyone who can't get a refund should get in touch, and it will try to work out a solution.
Members of the board also pledged to keep the facility clean and properly maintained.
Close to 200 shares were sold during the meeting. Each share entitles a person to one vote on issues at the not-for-profit fitness facility.
