Every year the Municipal government, City of Toronto Parks and recreation and the Toronto District School Board Cross swords regarding pools in Toronto.
Every year there is a demand to shut pools due to operating costs.
This year the threat seems to be greater as the platform against certain pools is more solid. Many past years the call to close pools was a political scare tactic to stir up fundage, but last year, several pools were actually shut down.
We need to make it known that we do not want our aquatic programs shut down. Aquatics are important for many reasons.
Swim programs provide after school/work activities for thousands of people. Swimming is the worlds best exercise. Swimming is great for physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
We need to ensure the future of Toronto aquatic programs, and the security and peace of mind knowing that our pools aren't just another playing card on the political poker table.
