Don’t tear down iconic fountain
In the forty years I have lived in Victoria, I have enjoyed many events at Centennial Square. The fountain is a piece of our heritage and is an example of mid-Century design. I would like to see the square refurbished but I definitely want the fountain to stay. This is not the location for a splash park. Joan Mason -
