Aurora needs to rethink sports facility strategy: Reader


(Re: Sport Dome could come under ownership of Town, February 27, 2014)

It seems to me that we have gone mad by providing year- round sports facilities for soccer, golf and tennis in the winter, and hockey in the summer. Obviously there is a strong sports lobby in Aurora, particularly in the Town administration.
It is bad enough when private enterprise provides these facilities in artificial environments which consume energy from fossil fuels especially as we experience the extremes of climate change.
Council should be promoting more neighborhood outdoor ice rinks, open playing fields for pick-up recreation, and cross country ski trails.
