Private schools are private for a reason - My tax paying money should go to the schools funded by taxpayers dollars

ridiculous, there is 8... EIGHT soccer fields that I can count in my head. Funding should go to a PUBLIC school that could actually use the money, last I checked Pretty River was just built and cost millions of dollars. If you can raise that much for a new school, the $500,000 should not be an ISSUE

Some things are just "wrong" and this definitely fits. It is very simple, public money should not in any way contribute to a private enterprise.

There are so many other badly needed facilities in this town but yet another soccer field?! And one that we have to pay to use?! Come on! The town screwed up the multi use facility and now this ..... We need a multi use facility that is for the purpose of the entire community rather than a rich school ..... our schools need better facilities for the children, we an expanded YMCA facilities ..... our children are hanging out on the streets lets put our efforts towards something that will help.

The money should be used for public support. Students going to a private school are already paying tuition, that money should go towards the school and any expansions they may choose to do.

I would like to have clarification on what is meant by references to PRA being " a not for profit " business . I understand there was an " anonymous " donor who gave $250K which was required before getting the $500K grant and I would have to believe that donor has links back to the ownership of PRA which again raise the question about " not for profit " in my mind.

As one who would use this facility it is a tough decision to sign this petition but it is completly inappropriate to give taxpayers money to a psuedo non-profit organization that clearly doesn't give general benefit to the regions taxpayers when many other local organizations that do benefit all are lacking in money and facilities. The money should go to the town to build a truly public sports dome.

This use of tax payers money is just WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! I am appaled as a taxpayer that my hard earned dollars would be given to a PRIVATE school for use towards building an other soccer field, when there are already so many in Collingwood, and then RENT it back to the taxpayers in off-hours....Just very sad. Why was the grant not given to the hockey group in town where there is a desperate need for more ice, so the money could have gone towards another arena!

What a despicable action on the part of our Canadian government, funding selected private interest groups over the benefits of all Canadians. The PC party is once again caught with its hand in the cookie jar of our tax dollar. This certainly calls for the resignation of Stephen Harper if not any other but for his short-sightedness, putting his party's obscured agenda ahead of the bigger picture, laying wide and deep foundation for all our future generation of Canadians to compete globally.

I saw this on the news last night. I am totally offended that my federal taxes are going to provide a indoor soccer field to a private school that charges tuition, particularly when the local Y project, among others, has been turned down. I strongly support public education and community organizations.

What part of "Private" do the feds and provincial govt's not understand?. Use the money to build a Public skating arena or a Public multi-purpose indoor field that can accommodate local soccer teams. Public tax dollars were never meant to fund this type of PRIVATE venture. Citizens for Public Infrastructure are speaking for the vast majority of Ontario rate payers. I can believe the Harper Govt.'s involvement, but am very disappointed with the province. Looks like somebody has an in with your MP

This is a disgrace. Private schools allow for social inequalities to grow and should not be encouraged in a social democracy. No public money at all should be given to private schools. Let's get rid of those conservatives as soon as possible and start working towards more social justice again.

Public money to improve the asset of a private school for 156 students, and open to the public only after the private school does not need it? This just does not sit right, and I do wonder how many other "public" infrastructure projects of thi snature exist?

If it is money coming from the 'Public' tax-payers, then it should be used for the 'public' children, not go to a private school. Many of the schools in this area have little to nothing recreational for the children due to buget cutbacks, and now you're going to take away funds that thier parents/grandparents etc pay through taxes and give it to priveleged children? Did you honestly think this one through at all?
