Town and CSRD reach funding agreement for pool Minor Hockey PeeWee team hosts tourney ..................................19
Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Both the Town and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District are celebrating a win this week after coming to an agreement to fund the Golden Municipal Swimming Pool using Economic Opportunity Funds (EOF). The agreement was formally ratified by the
CSRD last week and will ease the burden placed on taxpayers of Golden, as the Town previously footed the $275,000 annual bill to operate the pool. “It’s pretty monumental,” she Mayor Christina Benty. “What it does is recognizes the regional nature of the pool and of recreational services. It’s a huge cost to municipal taxpayers that is now going to be done through the EOF.”

EOF is money that can be used for services that benefit residents of both Golden and Area A. The decision to jointly fund the pool comes as the Town and the CSRD continue to explore shared services agreements for services that have benefits to residents of both Golden and Area A. Continued on page 2
