Really though, shouldn't that be the Wade Wilson Wilson Wade Deadpool?

Vancouver loves Ryan Reynolds, and Ryan Reynolds loves Deadpool.

That's why we are launching this petition to honor our local hero and his iconic character by renaming the Port Coquitlam Community Centre Wading Pool on Wilson Ave to The Wade Wilson Wilson Wade Pool.

Wade Wilson is Deadpool’s real name and Deadpool is one of Ryan’s most popular and beloved roles, and also one of the most successful superhero movies of all time.

Ryan Reynolds is not only a talented actor and a hilarious comedian, but also a generous philanthropist and a proud Canadian. He has donated millions of dollars to various causes, including health care, education, and social justice. He has also supported local businesses and artists, and promoted Vancouver as a film destination.

So, what do you say? Are you ready to join us in this fun and creative campaign to celebrate Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool? Please sign and share this petition to show your support and demand that mayor Brad West make this name change official. Together, we can make history and have a good laugh

In a long overdue initiative to recognize Ryan Reynolds and his many contributions to Vancouver, local radio stations Jack 96.9 has launched a petition to update the pedestrian and unimaginatively named Port Coquitlam Wading Pool to something a bit more exciting:  The Wade Wilson Wilson Wade Pool. Given the existence of local landmarks like Dude Chilling Park, it's not that odd a suggestion, and Reynolds is certainly a local treasure - please use the above link if you want to support the petition!

(By the way, early reviews suggest that the Deadpool and Wolverine movie is excellent, although I suspect it's excellent for a specific definition of the word: if you're not a fan of Ryan Reynold's Deadpool persona, it probably isn't going to be to your taste.)
