Mayor's Update - Lake Lisgar Waterpark Renovations

[@KarstenJohansson]

When i was a kid, we used to swim there, then someone would rush off to buy KFC while we finished up at the pool, and then we'd go to the park nestled around the pool and Lake Lisgar for a picnic. That must be parental bliss... the kids completely absorbed for an entire afternoon, followed by a picnic under the trees beside the lake. I live in the city these days, and quite miss this level of relaxation!

Are the accessible washrooms going to be automatic door opener’s with automatic door lock closures? Plus I see that the hallway to the separate rooms are a-bit narrow: when a person is going through the hall to the shower or change room area, there won’t be enough room for a person to walk by someone in a wheelchair. Plus the doorway to the pool is the same way, when a person is in the wheelchair trying to go out, he or she is going to have to wait till everyone on foot goes through, not fair for that person to have to wait, the doors should’ve been wider to allow for a smoother transition for parties to go by on one side while a person in a wheelchair can also go through easily too. It might seem easily accessible but if you’ve never been in a wide wheelchair before then you don’t fully understand the phrase “easily accessible “, and with what I mentioned, the building still looks like the original (out of date). Hopefully the doors will be automatic, maybe when the person is near the door it automatically opens it, because it’s hard to open the door if you have to push the door or pull it from the other side while still trying to turn the wheels on the wheelchair. Just thinking that this building wasn’t planned truly for wheelchair accessibility in mind. Kind of wasted money!
