Update on Pool Project

The West Carling Association (WCA) Board is deeply concerned about the pool project’s financial sustainability, its potential impact on property taxes, the availability of funds for other crucial projects, and the overall cost/benefit ratio for Carling residents. The project’s anticipated revenues from membership have been overestimated, its operating costs are underestimated, and fundraising challenges further suggest that more funding may be needed.

Over the past few years, the WCA has sent several letters and emails to the Township of Carling expressing our concerns and requesting public consultation, but the Township has not acknowledged receipt or responded in a formal manner.

The following letter was sent to Mayor Murphy and Carling Council, expressing our concerns about the pool project, asking questions, and requesting a public information session.
