What is the Crystal Pool referendum all about?

Jan. 28, 2025

On February 8, Victoria residents will decide whether the city can borrow up to $168.9 million to build a new Crystal Pool and Fitness Centre. They can also weigh in on which of two locations they'd prefer: on the site of the existing pool, or right beside it. Because Greater Victoria residents often cross municipal boundaries to use pools, the results could impact swimmers across the region. On this episode: what exactly the ballot questions are asking, and some arguments for and against each option.
