Dear Editor,
It was with great dismay that I saw millions of dollars being given by the Conservative government out to a variety of projects in 91Ô´´ with no money at all being given toward an indoor pool in Aldergrove.
Why is that?
I am dumbfounded. After the announcement of the new recreation centre for Aldergrove, I talked with the mayor, councilors and Township staff. I asked if there were any grants available and I was assured if they could possibly get a grant to enclose the proposed pool, they would do it.
I understand that it was the Conservative government’s final decision on how much and where the money would go but there would have been consultation with the Township.
The 91Ô´´ Township council does not care if the children, teenagers, adults and seniors of Aldergrove have an indoor pool. They had their chance to give us one without cutting down a single tree but they refused to give Aldergrove the indoor pool that we have been asking for for over 30 years.
