The Canfor Leisure Pool will be closed from Sept. 2 to 21 for regular maintenance, the City of Prince George said in a Monday, Aug. 25 media release.
“Throughout September, staff will drain and refill the pools, deep clean, make minor repairs, and complete safety inspections of the waterslide and ninja cross,” the release said.
“Both city pools close annually for regular maintenance and cleaning, though the Aquatic Centre will not close in 2025 due to upcoming upgrades.”
The city noted in the release that the closure is not related to the legal action it initiated last November against the designer of the pool, HDR Architecture Associates Inc., regarding issues with the mechanical system and building envelope.
“The claim is still before the courts, and the city is hopeful of a successful outcome,” the release said.
The release also said that construction on the Aquatic Centre upgrades, for which funding was approved in 2024 through an alternate approval process, is expected to begin either late this year or early next year. The construction process is expected to last about two years.
