^ I think that you're right here Textcritic. I was speaking with someone "in the know" today about the lack of facilities in general in Canada. He pointed to the US as a distinctly different situation; you look at the facilities at the high schools alone and we've probably all looked in awe at the football stadiums and baseball diamonds for their kids. The school parking lots are all full at night because the community and the kids are using the facilities.
In Canada though recreational facilities and programs are basically an afterthought; they are the first thing cut when the money gets tight or is perceived to be tight.
