Pool Update: CCAC Shallow End Temporarily Closed The shallow end of the main pool at City Centre Aquatic Complex (1210 Pinetree Way) is temporarily closed while we complete unexpected maintenance on the movable floor. It’s anticipated to reopen after our annual fall maintenance shutdown (October 6). In the meantime, the deep end is still open for public swims, and select programs have been relocated to the leisure pool to keep things flowing. To help bridge the gap and provide more shallow water options, we are extending Mundy Park Pool’s hours until October 5.
