A Crystal Pool for All

A better and equitable Crystal Pool is within our reach, but needs your voice. We can do more with this $70M investment in recreation and wellness.

So proud of Central Park users and the residents of North Park, Hillside Quadra and downtown for coming out to City Hall tonight in such solidarity. A great decision reached by Council because of you. #wearenorthpark

Lots of neighbours at City Hall tonight in support of a new Crystal Pool on the arena parking lot site. #CrystalPool #yyj

People starting to get excited for the various opportunities at the new siting of #crystalpool at arena parking lot. https://t.co/TSBfCjud5x

#crystalpool and Central Park are a perfect example of a situation where access to nature and greenspace weren't being valued in a project. Kudos to city council for changing that. It's time to place a real value on nature in Canada’s accounting framework https://t.co/UFRHWVsx7e

Our very own Sean Kahil speaking to City Council about the need for a #CrystalPool plan that works for all stakeholders — swimmers, athletes, neighbours, park users, and new Canadians. Let's reduce costs and maximize amenities for residents. #yyj

So true Mayor! Hopefully council will decide to pursue Crystal Pool at Arena site so can add housing on that public land too. MAH is ministry making funding recommendations to Feds for recreation grants; addition of housing will be seen as great value add #crystalpool #yyjhousing

Sound familiar Victoria? We need HALA program equivalent to inclusionary zoning, Parkdale Community Land Trust equivalent to stem gentrification, and boomers to find common ground w/ millennials through shared commitment to environmental sustainability. https://t.co/oe8kkRAAoc

@TalktoARYZE hey! where's North Park on this chart? #wearenorthpark

Seriously @icbc? You and MOTI are spending too much time "strategizing" the future of mobility together. #transportationbc #mobility #govbc

[Charles Montgomery @charlesincities]

Is this a joke @icbc ?
You envision a world of cities where pedestrians need to wear construction safety vests to x the street? How about designing streets so the folks steering several tonnes of steel actually slow down? It’s 2018, wake up!

@GraceALore Do not doubt for a minute that you challenged your peers to make affordable childcare +housing for families a baseline for everyone's platform. Would have loved to see you on Council, but there are so many ways to participate + support our city once youve caught the bug thank you

I'm in Cook Street Village & there's a buzz in the air. Line-ups are long at the polls & people are talking with anticipation. I'm encouraged by all of the kind words of support I'm receiving. No matter the results - it is great to see this level of engagement. #yyj #yyjpoli
