Dear Editor:
We have heard a lot about a proposed pool in Mount Forest for years but I have still not seen an argument that would make it viable to everyone in Wellington North.
A project this size will only benefit the few, not the many, and asking over $5 million from people that will not only never visit the pool but will for sure never swim in, it is a huge ask.
Taxes and interest are at the highest level in decades and council is looking to put this on the back of taxpayers as a whole.
Has anyone explored support from industry or a public donation for this project?
I think times have changed and so should the way council looks at taxpayers’ money.
Allan Caudle,
Dundas, NB
