Talisman Centre, YMCA are certainly nothing to sneeze at. Plus there a bunch of City-owned smaller fitness and aquatic centres like Killarney, Beltline, Inglewood, Renfrew etc.
Anyway, great news about these rec centres. Anyone who's stepped foot in the Genesis Centre knows how desperately these facilities are needed. Genesis, including its library is absolutely packed. Keep in mind that three of these 4 centres will have a new library branch as well.
It certainly was no easy task to make the financing work when the $100m vanished. City Staff did yeoman's work. The Mayor was insistent that we make this a reality. Kudos as well to all the volunteer societies in the NW and SE that did so much work to make this happen.
