An exchange from yesterday’s Regina city council that highlights the tension between a council driven to build housing as a result of millions in funding and the residents angry over a lack of consultation.

Okay… I have to tap out. It's 8pm and life's a calling.
If you want to follow the rest of the debate on accessibility improvements for city facilities, you can watch the meeting here. youtube.com/watch?v=BnOH6I… #yqrcc

Speaking Krystal Johnston in favour of waterslide elevator. #yqrcc

Delegation says city can get the elevator for original $550k quote (the one that got the elevator approved in first place) or maybe even less. #yqrcc

Delegation is saying that the elevator quote that staff got making the accessibility waterslide elevator too expensive did not have appropriate specifications & was overbuilt. Calls it a potash mine elevator, not an accessibility elevator. #yqrcc

Okay… i'm catching back up to the meeting & discussion of accessibility upgrades. Delegations are speaking in favour of an accessibility elevator at the outdoor waterslide at Wascana Pool. #yqrcc
