Re: squash courts in Milton
The current town policy is to *not* build *any* squash courts and build lots of tennis courts. We actually have a tennis masterplan and an explicit tennis strategy.
I have nothing against tennis (and I plan to start playing once tennis courts behind my house are done) ... and I cannot guarentee that we in fact will have a squash court here ... but I do want this policy changed. When the town plans a recreational facility, it needs to guage demand to determine the best mix of facilities instead of creating a bias up front.
That said, the next community centre isn't planned for a couple of years, so meanwhile we'll have to rely on municipal courts in Oakville or Mississauga.
I can play during work hours, my evenings are completely booked. If you can play then please let me know. I really want to start.

That policy is as dumbass as it gets. I wonder if anybody who actually came up with that policy has stuck their head out a window lately. We live in Canada so tennis is a 6/7 month sport here unless you are ready to spend TONS on indoor courts. Squash can be played in our climate an amazing 12 months of the year. Shouldn't fitness and health be a full time concern? Not to mention, I would have to play about 4 hours of tennis to get the same workout as 45 mins of squash. We should start a group/petition to have a couple of courts built at the rec center.
