Youth centre and outdoor pools on council agenda

One city councillor wants a new youth centre built in Thunder Bay. Joe Virdiramo says the centre could include detox and crisis beds. He's asking his fellow councillors Monday to support his idea to provide half a million dollars towards such a facility providing other funding is available. Virdiramo thinks such a facility would be money well spent because it would create a healthy environment. Also Monday, councillors will be asked to consider adding the Dease and Heath Park outdoor pools to the city's Heritage Register
