PROJECT BACKGROUND
Ontario Needs Analysis - 2007 Identified seven major categories of aquatic uses Ontario’s level of service is inadequate in: sport training,
event hosting therapeutic usesevent hosting, therapeutic uses There is a dearth of long-course (50m) and competition
level pools p Anticipated population growth and aging facilities
suggest the need for pools of all sizes will not decline and therapeutic use requirements will increase and therapeutic use requirements will increase
A master plan for pools in Ontario is needed to help guide municipal coordination at the regional level
