Budget talks will continue at city hall on Tuesday for the second day of deliberations.

Much of last night’s debate surrounded the proposed closure of the heritage neighbourhood`s Maple Leaf pool.

A number of delegates opposed the closure and addressed council last night.

A proposed plan from administration would see the crumbling Maple Leaf and Massey pools closed in favour of building a destination aquatic facility centre in Wascana Centre.

The Heritage Community Association is asking the city to re-build the pool with the goal of reopening by summer of 2020.
