<div>The <strong>Hill Street Dog Park Community Coalition (HSDPCC)</strong> is a <strong>volunteer-led group</strong> working to <strong>ensure decisions about our park reflect actual use, community input and transparent information from the City.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since July, we’ve printed and laminated signs, built <strong><a href="https://hillstreetpark.ca" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hillstreetdogpark</a> .ca</strong>, organized a petition and community vote, collected hundreds of park-use observations, produced reports and maps, pursued City records about the new small-dog area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So far, these costs have largely been paid out of one volunteer's pocket and we really would like to pay him back. <strong>We’re aiming to raise a total of $500</strong>: $250 to reimburse what has been spent thus far and another $250 to help cover future expenses and continue this work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The costs have included:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Printing, signs, laminating sheets, zip ties $35
</div>
<div>* Website domain, hosting/infrastructure: $170.58
</div>
<div>* Google online services: $23.01
</div>
<div>* TinyURL community/data links: US$18.08
</div>
<div>* Current City FOI fee: $41
</div>
<div>* Community voting buttons: $30
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No one is being paid for their time. All funds will be used for Coalition expenses. We will provide links to records on the website to ensure transparency.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We support keeping a dedicated small-dog area while working toward a layout that better reflects park use, safety, accessibility and community needs.
