Letter: It's really that simple

Dear Editor,

Re: “New facility named ‘Minoru Centre for Active Living,’” News, April 14.

How did anyone come up with an overblown name such as Minoru Centre for Active Living?

Isn’t it obvious that a facility devoted to aquatics, seniors’ activities, recreation and sports is designed to encourage ‘active living’?

Simplicity, please.

Why not just call it Minoru Centre?

Or better still, put it to a public contest like the one held years ago for the No. 2 Road Bridge, a name suggested by a member of the public and chosen in an open vote by residents.
