flag Sarnia councillors push to restore $2M for library project cut by mayor over funding and design concerns.

flag Sarnia city councillors, including Anne Marie Gillis, are seeking to reinstate $2 million in 2026 funding for the Bright’s Grove library and community hub project at the historic Faethorne House, cut by Mayor Mike Bradley using strong mayor powers. flag The project, which includes a 650-square-metre addition and accessibility upgrades, had approved designs and $4 million in prior city funding. flag Bradley cited unclear project parameters and the withdrawal of federal green grants, which were contingent on net-zero standards. flag Project leaders argue plans are well-defined, federal eligibility may be reconsidered, and community fundraising has reached about 75% of its $1 million goal. flag Advocacy groups and the project committee are urging council to reverse the cut, emphasizing the project’s readiness and years of planning.
