**Title:**

Stop Outdoor Pool Construction in Wilkie, SK - Build an Indoor Pool Instead!

**Target:**
Wilkie Town Council

**Petition Text:**

---

Dear Wilkie Town Council,

We, the undersigned residents of Wilkie, Saskatchewan, urgently request the reconsideration of the planned outdoor swimming pool construction. We strongly believe that building an indoor pool would be more beneficial for our community, offering year-round access and greater long-term advantages.

### Reasons for Supporting an Indoor Pool:

1. **Year-Round Accessibility:**
   An indoor pool will be available to residents throughout the entire year, regardless of weather conditions. This provides consistent opportunities for recreation, exercise, and swimming lessons, benefiting all age groups in our community.

2. **Increased Revenue Potential:**
   An indoor pool can generate more revenue through memberships, swimming classes, events, and rentals. The extended operational period will allow the town to maximize its investment and provide a steady stream of income.

3. **Enhanced Community Well-being:**
   Indoor pools offer a controlled environment that ensures safety and comfort. They can host therapeutic programs, fitness classes, and community events, contributing to the overall health and well-being of our residents.

4. **Attracting New Residents and Visitors:**
   A modern indoor pool facility can be a significant attraction for potential new residents and visitors, enhancing the town's appeal and supporting local businesses.

### Our Request:

We understand that the decision for an outdoor pool has already been made and construction is imminent. However, we firmly believe that with sufficient community support, this decision can be revisited. We urge the Wilkie Town Council to:

1. **Suspend the current outdoor pool construction plans.**
2. **Conduct a comprehensive feasibility study** to evaluate the benefits and costs of constructing an indoor pool instead.
3. **Engage in open dialogue with the residents** to ensure that community preferences and concerns are thoroughly considered.

By signing this petition, we express our collective desire to invest in a facility that will provide long-term benefits and enhance the quality of life in Wilkie. We believe that an indoor pool is the best choice for our community's future.

Thank you for your attention and consideration.

Sincerely,

Wilkie residence
