their allies. Location Many members of the community feel that the area around the intersection of Bank and Somerset Streets is the core of the gay community while others feel that other neighbourhoods also have large concentrations of LGBT peoples. While no decision has been made it has been noted by the steering committee that issues of accessibility and infrastructure will be critical to the centre's future location(s). As a result, the steering committee initiated plans to survey the LGBT community through the media, and its website. Funding In 2006 the community centre initiative received approx. $5000 Canadian to support the process of incorporation. With the upcoming mayoral elections in Ottawa this caused some backlash in the general community. However, this controversy seemed to have died down around the same time as Alex Munter announced his candidacy for mayor, as well as next to the more prominent local issues. Near dissolution At the 2007 annual general meeting, a motion to dissolve the corporation could not be voted on because quorum was not met.
