Kingston Aquatic Centre

As Kingstonians become more active with spring's arrival, and the prospect of summer, it is discouraging to read and hear incorrect "facts" circulating about efforts to develop an all-season AQUATIC CENTRE in Kingston.

Even the Mayor, who should know better, talks about a 50m pool that only a few will use and want.

This is abslutely untrue.

Everyone who has said they think that we need more pool facilities has also read about or visited fantastic AQUATIC CENTRES that they've seen all over this country, the USA, and Europe. These are "people places" used extensively by rich and poor, swimmers and non-swimmers: people who enjoy life and the fun and relaxation that comes with a facility designed for many activities.

It is time that the Mayor and those who write to The Whig become more educated about AQUATIC CENBTRES/COMPLEXES and stop being so ignorant about what is being discussed. There is plenty of information about a Kingston AQUATIC CENTRE online, available free for everyone. Visit

and become informed.

It is not unusual for those who suppoort one position, to spread incorrect info about the "opposition." However, most Canadians intensely dislike dishonest politicians, and are telling them that.
