Political progress for pool



Moves towards a new swimming pool and aquatic center is continuing.
Elected officials from the city and regional district spent two days negotiating their support levels during closed-door, in-camera meetings.
Mayor Mike Ruttan says the city will pay for a consultant to map out a plan of how to move the multi-million dollar project forward.
The city has been talking about replacing the 50-year old Echo Aquatic Center for the past decade, but say they need the assistance of the ACRD and local First Nations to pay for the facility.
