Even with winter settling in, the threat of pool closures
is making a splash around the city.
Mayor Rob Ford says pools in public schools should not be
the city’s responsibility. He says the school board should fund them.
The new proposed budget also calls for the draining of
two outdoor pools and five wading pools.
A report lays out which
facilities are in danger: Bedford Park, Frankland Community Centre, Gordon A.
Brown, Hillcrest Community Centre, Runnymede Collegiate, Duke of Connaught and
Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
The report also state plans to close 10 arenas during off
peak hours and suggests the “ceasing of operations at High Park Zoo and “far
enough farm” at Centre Island.
