Unused Pool
I took this picture because it shows an unused pool. We have 2 pools, this outdoor one, and one indoor, and every time there is a problem with the pool, it is not used to its full potential. There are a lot of kids in the community and we end up going all the way to St. Lawrence pool which is at Esplanade and Sherbourne area. So instead of us paying money for the pool classes and going far away, it would be best if we paid the money for this pool and have our kids come here to use this pool which is closer to us, instead of taking the bus or looking for rides to go to the other pool.
This is a major problem for the people in the community who don’t have money, this stops the children in the community from having the opportunity or benefit to learn the skill of swimming. Swimming is a good exercise and an essential skill to know, it may also be a good survival skill to know. If the pool is fixed at least kids who are obese can swim and exercise in the pool as a way of stimulating their muscles. If the pool is opened than the kids will have an activity to do instead of roaming around in the neighbourhood.
I don’t know what the problem is with this pool because it is always closed, but if it is something fixable than the government should invest in fixing the pool and then we can have classes where we can pay the trainers and the lifeguards to keep it running during the summer season. At the moment the pool is idle, like a statue, or an image for the community to see, and I don’t think they made the pool for that reason. It should be buzzing with activity during the summer season. The pool should be fixed so it can bring fun and life back to the community.
I think we have the power to fix this pool problem. The community is willing to pay for the classes so we can use the pool that is next to us instead of a pool that is far away. We can also have classes for the seniors, for women only, for kids, and if this pool problem is solved I think it will bring back the spirit of summer.
Also, the government should offer as much assistance as they can offer to have both the indoor and the outdoor pools working to their fullest potential.
