Lachine residents are fighting back to keep a pool project alive, saying the borough's new administration abandoned it. The community has launched a campaign to revive the initiative, which was scrapped earlier this year due to budget constraints.
Community Reaction
Residents expressed frustration over the decision, arguing that the pool is essential for local recreation and youth activities. A petition has garnered hundreds of signatures, and public meetings are being organized to pressure borough officials.
Borough's Position
The new administration cited rising costs and competing priorities as reasons for canceling the project. However, critics claim the decision was made without adequate consultation and that alternative funding sources were not explored.
Local council members have promised to review the matter, but no timeline has been set for a decision. The outcome remains uncertain as both sides prepare for further debate.
