COLLINGWOOD — A citizens’ group says it feels misled by the town’s deputy-mayor and the municipality’s former acting CAO, who both told the community Centennial Pool would be ready for swimming by mid-winter.

In a statement released earlier this month, Better Together Collingwood also claims the pool is now more than one-third over the original budget of $3.6 million, when the addition of the therapeutic pool at $550,000 and upgrades to the 45-year-old pool tank at nearly $600,000 are added into the final cost.

Group spokesperson Brian Saunderson also says the fact the opening of the pool has been delayed a month or more demonstrates a lack of planning on the part of municipal officials.
