Rally to save Inglewood Pool draws 160 people to Ironwood for Sunday brunch [Video]

Around 160 people attended a rally to save the Inglewood Pool Sunday afternoon.

“Fill the Grill – Save the Inglewood Pool” at the Ironwood, drew supporters from all quadrants of the city, said organizer Fiona Mckenzie, who came to eat lunch, listen to speakers Jeromy Farkas, Dr. Diana Onea and David de Vlieger, and to build awareness about the pool.

“It’s not just a community pool,” said McKenzie. “People come from all across the city to use this pool.

“Yeah, it’s important for our community, for seniors, people with disabilities, children, but  it’s not just a community pool. It’s a city pool.”

McKenzie urged the city to rethink its recreation infrastructure policy.

The building is more than 50 years old and has lasted much longer than the expected 20-year lifespan.

If the pool remained open, it would cost at least $600,000 in repairs, which would take three months to complete.
