Nearly 200 people held a demonstration outside Collingwood town hall last night to protest what they feel was council's rushed decision to put a covering over Centennial Pool and build a new arena at Central Park.

Mayor Sandra Cooper told council last night, facts had been distorted and there were no secrets at town hall.

A steering committee recommended a 35 million dollar multi use facility at Central Park.

Cooper said senior staff spent 45 days looking at various options, and added the town carries a massive debt load and cannot just spend and borrow, or tax people who won't use the facility.
