Origin
Summary
SH Armstrong Pool, located in the Duke of Connaught Public School in Ward 32, is one of the 27 school pool locations currently used by the City of Toronto for the provision of aquatic program delivery, including swimming lessons and drop-in swimming.
As part of the 2017 Budget process, City Council approved the relocation of programming from SH Armstrong pool to other nearby locations with capacity to accommodate these programs effective July, 2017.
With the availability of temporary funding, Council approved the reinstatement of services at the pool from September to December, 2017.
Council also directed the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to establish a pool working group to develop and review a plan that increased the utilization of the pool's capacity and report back to the Community Development and Recreation Committee on the Pool's performance by the fourth quarter of 2017.
The purpose of this report is to report back on the success of the working group's efforts in increasing the pool's utilization in Fall of 2017 and to request that Council authorize the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to continue programming at SH Armstrong pool for the first quarter of 2018 until Council makes a decision on the full reinstatement of programs, as part of the 2018 Budget Cycle.
