The regularly scheduled annual pool maintenance shutdown is scheduled to begin Saturday, Aug. 10 through to Monday, Sept. 2.
New this year, the Community Centre building will be closed from Saturday, Aug. 17 to Saturday, Aug. 24 to complete necessary electrical lifecycle replacements. These upgrades require shutting down mechanical systems including cooling, hot water and other building automation systems, meaning the facility is unable to support activities related to the fitness room, swimming pool, Cleland Theatre, and programs. Once the electrical updates are complete, the Community Centre building will re-open for regular use, excluding the pool area, which will continue its regularly scheduled maintenance.
To minimize disruptions, the annual fitness room maintenance closure will be rescheduled from Wednesday, Aug. 8 and Thursday Aug. 9 to take place during the facility closure timeline.
