Pool Closure Update Plans for reopening have been submitted to Vancouver Coastal Heath with an inspection scheduled for March 24. We will also be working with staff next week to determine a modified schedule for gradual re-opening.
To make this happen, a lot of work is happening behind the scenes, including staffing, reinstating programming, and completing all the necessary preparations for running an aquatic facility. We sincerely thank the community, user groups, and staff for their support and encouragement in getting this facility back up and running.
