"The Crystal Pool has been at risk of failing systems since at least 2011. After much delay and years of reports, surveys and assessments, Mayor and Council concluded the best thing to do is to build a new facility with a 50 meter pool. Days before the last city election they asked staff to hold off on the new build and prepare more reports, surveys and assessments. Mean while, the pool is still at risk of failure and citizens may be left without service."

Morgan Rozon - I owe this lady some credit, and am vehemently sorry for not posting this sooner. Not only did she coach me last year during my final race season, but she's also a businesswoman and amazing human.
I am happily addicted to her Hand Repair Balm because when you ride and wrench motorcycles (way more riding than wrenching for me) your hands get rough. Now that I'm Crossfitting regularly, the callouses love trying to make their mark - and the Balm prevents them from gaining an inch!
Here's the Athlete Story she did on me last November - have a read, and if you like soft hands (or not ripping callouses and hangnails) and naturally-made products like deodorant and body butter, check out the Fit Balm products!
