Councillors say yes to giving pools heritage designation

Two city pools have now come under the umbrella of the citys' Heritage Advisory Committee.   The Dease and Heath pools have been given heritage designation.   Committee chair Andrew Cotter and member Gloria Cyr stressed that the designation doesn't mean that the pools are protected from being closed down.  Instead Cotter says it will simply allow for the sites to be recognized as significant.   If the pools are considered for closure the appropriate steps can be taken to give the sites their historical due.
