As the city filed it
The purpose of this report is to provide a progress report on Parks, Forestry and Recreation's Regent Park swim pilot program. The Regent Park swim pilot program was created in response to community feedback regarding local access to recreation services including aquatic programs at the Pam McConnell Aquatic Centre. In addition to providing access to aquatic instructional program opportunities for children aged 6-12 who reside within Regent Park, the pilot program was intended to provide youth employment readiness workshops and community engagement opportunities for local resident feedback on recreation programming in the Regent Park neighbourhood.
