POOL CLOSURE UPDATE

We have identified a major leak, and the competition pool is being drained in order for the necessary repairs to be completed.

Our team is actively working on the issue and, at this time, we are hopeful that the pools will be able to reopen early next week. However, we will not know for certain until the work has progressed further.

Rentals and swim lesson participants who may be impacted will be contacted individually with information about any changes or cancellations.

We will provide another update Monday morning with more information on the repair timeline and pool reopening.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

Effective immediately our pools will be closed until further notice. We will update you as we have more information!

Last fall, we asked our members and community to share their feedback through our survey, and your responses helped us better understand what families are looking for when it comes to recreation programs at Cole Harbour Place.

We heard that families are looking for more flexibility, more opportunities for youth, and more ways to feel connected and comfortable while participating in programs.

Here are some of the actions we’ve taken (and continue to work on):

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Programs for Families
β€’ Recognizing that weekday and weekend-only schedules can make participation challenging for working families
β€’ Continuing to review program schedules and opportunities to better support families with busy schedules
β€’ Promoting the weekend programs that are currently available so families know what options are available

🌟 Youth Programs
β€’ Hearing your interest in more opportunities for older youth and expanded recreation options
β€’ Exploring ways to continue growing land-based programming opportunities, including activities that support movement, creativity, and skill development

Thank you to everyone who shared your ideas and suggestions. Your feedback helps guide our decisions and allows us to continue building programs that meet the needs of our community.

We appreciate you helping us make Cole Harbour Place a place where everyone can learn, move, and connect. πŸ’™
