Aquatic Retrofit and Fitness Expansion
In May 2012, work will begin on the aquatics facility in the Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness to bring the pool up to current mechanical, air-handling and lighting standards. As a result, the pool and hot tub will be temporarily closed until January 13, 2013. A portion of the fitness area will also be closed to provide access to the pool‘s mechanical systems.
Visit the Aquatics Section for updates regarding this project. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we embark on a new phase in the life of our Sport and Wellness centre.
