Swimming pool fees, thoughts and suggestions: It is sad that there had to be an increase in the pool fees, and I don’t doubt that it was a hard decision to make; unfortunately, now many of our kids can't get to the pool in the summer.
Responds to concerns on swimming pool fees: Regarding Larry Bauer's letter concerning the city pool fees: I can appreciate that a price increase from free to $10 for a city resident over a four year period may seem like a lot, however it was certainly not without notice, by any means.
And another response about swimming pool fees: It saddens me to see that, once again, the city faces criticism ‎for anything related to our swimming pool.

Increase in swimming pool fees is too much: Having used the local municipal pool for the past 4 years, I would like to think that we are fortunate to have this amenity available to us.
