No squash court in milton yet, sob!

The town finally updated actions it took on feedback received on the Milton Sports Club expansion plan.  Here is a quote from it :-

Squash courts are not recommended, as established through Community Services Master Plan.

I would have thought in the Canadian climate indoor squash courts (can be used year-round) would be better than outdoor tennis courts.  I would be wrong since the town disagrees by spending millions on outdoor tennis courts as part of its Community Services Master plan and tennis strategy (yes, the town has a tennis strategy).   I suppose I should mention that 2/3rd of the $3 million it’s spending on the Nassgweya Tennis Club is coming from Federal and Provincial governments (although I am sure they would have given money for an indoor soccer turf just the same). 

I would pick up tennis but what good would it do in winter?

(Apparently I wasn’t the only one who wanted it, since someone asked for it in the public workshop as well. I did not attend that).  It shouldn’t be too much to ask for activities that do not require a team and can be done year round. 

This post is about to enter a ‘rant’ mode, so I will stop now.
