Saw your comments on CBC's website which were great. But I gotta post this comment from someone there that replyed to your comment that shows how people complain about things they don't know anything about.

The oval is about getting people out to enjoy being in the city and is about improving people's health. It's things like this that make the downtown a great place to live and cause people to want to move there. I'm hopeful that with retaining the oval, we'll see even more demand for residential in the core - which will have spin off effects of helping business to grow.

Good try, the oval is 5 miles from the core, far from the downtown, in an over-populated residental area surrounded by 100+ unit appartment building, oversized homes, and the big box stores of Bayers Lake. So no, I don't think this will be encouraging more demand for residential housing in the core

How about spending the 4.5 mil and annual 400k on recreational facilities for at risk kids instead of a fad skating rink catering to the "upper" middle class of clayton park
