EDMONTON ALLOWS TOPLESS PATRONS AT CITY POOLS

The City of Edmonton has amended its policy for topless swimmers at city pools. From now on, all patrons are allowed to swim and lounge around at City of Edmonton pools without a top on, regardless of their gender identity. An official with Edmonton’s aquatics and community leisure center said the policy aligns with gender identity and expression protections found in the Alberta Human Rights Act. “This is a human rights issue and we have an obligation to treat all individuals equally when using city pools,” said the city. Chests must be covered in other areas of recreation centers. Currently, the city operates 15 indoor pools and four outdoor pools.
* It’s February. I’d start at the indoor pools.
* Invest in Canadian swim goggles, now!
* Just to be clear, the topless swimming is “allowed,” not “mandatory,” right?
* Gee, I never thought the gender identity revolution would lead to topless pools. Let’s hear it for “unintended consequences”!
* “Bye, mom, I’m off to the pool.“ “Again, Dougie? I swear, you’ve been practically living there all summer!“
