Controversy

In Parkland County, the construction of the TransAlta Tri Leisure Centre was met with some controversy, especially in the western-most parts of division 6. Too many residents of this division the centre was seen as another example of county initiatives and by-laws that favoured the eastern sub-divisions over the western rural residents. The proximity to Edmonton means that for most of the county's western residents it is only marginally more convenient to use the facility than one in Edmonton. Another controversial issue is the cost of construction. Due to the initial lack of use, fees to use the facilities are higher than other ones (such as those in Edmonton), in order to pay for the construction costs. This has also led to numerous complaints on the part of Parkland County residents.
