The city will need financial help to pay for a new building that would replace the Loch Lomand Community Centre which is now closed and slated for demolition before the end of the year.
Councillor at Large Shirley McAlary says the community centre was well utilised but not everyone who was using it lives and pays taxes in the city.
Ward 4 Councillor David Merrithew says it won't happen unless the local service districts, the province and even the federal government come to the table.
Mayor Mel Norton says he will try to get agreement on joint funding at the Regional Services Commission.
