Earl Mah Aquatic Centre shutdown for annual maintenance

Those looking for a refreshing dip into the water in the month of August will have to seek out other more natural options, as the city's Earl Mah Aquatic Centre has shutdown for potentially the next seven weeks as part of its annual maintenance period regimen.

The pool held a closing night bash over the weekend, the last splash of the summer season if you will.

Making for a fun filled event that will have to tide everyone over until the Aquatic Centre re-opens in September, the Recreation Department has set a tentative target date of September 21st for the reopening of the pool.

Routine maintenance and structural replacements are on the work order for the maintenance period. With attention to be directed towards the boiler, heat exchangers, lights, HVAC, support beam and other items that require attention.
