Committee backs bigger, YMCA-run pool on Saskatoon's east side

City administration had recommended moving ahead with a less ambitious hybrid model featuring a six-lane pool with a 4,000-square-foot fitness area, run by the YMCA as a city facility. But Coun. Zach Jeffries, whose ward is located on the east side of the city and who has long advocated for the new facility, proposed a bigger option.
