the costs of power, energy and rising minimum wages. These facilities are built and maintained by the city for the public good, and to help bring a healthy and high quality of life for the city's residents; therefore, there will be a cost to have these sort of facilities available for the public to enjoy, and it makes sense that those who are the primary users pay for the privilege. At the same time, it is also true there are residents of the community who may sometimes find it too expensive to enrol in, for example, swimming lessons or to be part of a club like Silver Seals or Synchro Stars. To help with this are organizations like KidSport and JumpStart, who help out those who cannot afford to be in sporting events or groups. Also, the city has lined up sponsors who help provide free swimming days during the summer, and free public skating days over winter. In the end, the community is all the better by having upgraded modern well-run facilities like we enjoy here in Weyburn, and there is a cost to pay so that everyone can continue enjoying these facilities.
