Officials at the Royal Canadian Legion's branch in Otterburn Park on the south shore say they might be forced to close if it doesn't raise enough money to fix its leaky roof.
They're trying to raise $25,000, and they've set up a GoFundMe page to help them out.
"It's highly doubtful that it will survive the winter," Eric Green, past president of the Otterburn Park Legion, told CJAD 800's Andrew Carter. "We've already got water infiltration through the roof. We've got some plastic up, and that sort of thing. You can see it in the ceiling tiles, that there is an issue. The further you let it go on, the further things deteriorate."
Green says he's consulted with contractors, who've told him the damage is so severe, that the building would actually be condemned if an inspector were to come to visit the building.
Since 1945, the Otterburn Park Legion hall has not only been a home base for veterans, but also a community centre.
In the 12 days it's been online, the GoFundMe page has raised about half of the $25,000 it needs to make those repairs.
