I would like to offer a response to Brian McLeod’s commentary titled "Safety a concern for foreign workers" (St. Albert Gazette, Sept. 24). Let me begin by introducing myself.

Three mornings a week I go to Fountain Park Pool for the 8 a.m. exercise class. I am hoping that the City of St. Albert are going to look into the safety at this amenity site as it is also next door to Paul Kane High School.
