Councillor calls for fair play in Sudbury's splash pad debate

Everything from de-amalgamation to income inequality came up as Sudbury city councillors debated splash pads last night.

But Coun. Evelyn Dutrisac disagreed, suggesting the offer discriminatesagainst poor neighbourhoods. She recently worked with residents to get a splash pad built in the Donovan.

The city has committed to putting splash pads in Capreol, Garson, Onaping and the west end.

Coniston and Copper Cliff have begun fundraising for splash pads, while a group in Azilda is working towards one as well.
