Irony n.

Abbotsford City Hall pressing on with Plan A in the same week their own lack of ability to think through, consider consequences or adequately plan has provided clear evidence that it is not a basketball court or an arena that the City needs but another pool.

If you have any doubt of this just ask any child, parent, family, length swimmer or other pool user displaced from ARC because Abbotsford City Hall lacks the common sense to hire someone experienced in building a pool tank to replace Centennial Pool’s leaking tank.

I would also imagine that the patrons of MRC, crowded by those displaced from ARC, might have a few words of wisdom for council on the matter of needed facilities.

Although I suppose that citizens should not be greatly surprised that senior staff and council, lacking enough common sense to hire someone with knowledge and experience of what they are doing to rebuild a pool tank, lacks the common sense to build the facilities that are really needed by Abbotsford.
