BURLINGTON, ON

The Burlington Aquatic Devilrays sent out a statement earlier today sharing that the City of Burlington is exploring a public-private opportunity to develop a modern, multi-use aquatic facility, potentially including a 50m competition pool with training and community space.

An indoor pool this size is getting talked about. Word is that the location for this possible private-public development would be the King Road development. Years away from shovels in the ground – but it is a start.

The Burlington’s swim team, BAD fully supports this initiative and will be at Monday’s city meeting to declare our interest. This process is expected to take some time, even before development can begin, but getting in on the ground floor of these discussions will allow us to help shape the future of aquatic sports in Burlington.

They would like you to support this initiative.

In the announcement from the Clun that ask you to Visit our portal and sign a statement of support before 11:30 AM on Friday, June 5th so we can include these submissions in our delegation.”

Adding that they “realize this is short notice but the statement of support should take less than 2 minutes to complete and the more voices we have behind us, the louder our voice can be heard in these early discussions.”
