45 Livingston Road Swimming Pool is Now Open
The restrictive Scarborough only pool by-law has been repealed. I would like to thank all the Residents at 45 Livingston Road who brought this matter to my attention. You have all helped in a change for the entire Scarborough Community. Scarborough has now adopted the same by-law practiced across the City of Toronto and Province of Ontario, no longer making it mandatory to hire a full time lifeguard on duty during pool hours. This has caused pool closures or decreased hours as the cost is not manageable. The matter is being heard at the Board of Health at their April meeting.
