I am a patron of the Prince George Aquatic Centre, and have been hearing rumours about the pending renovations for the centre.
Apparently, the new pool downtown has serious issues and will have to be closed to repair them.
In order to have at least one pool open, the Aquatic Centre will stay open and not be renovated until the downtown pool has been fixed.
I wonder if the $40-million-plus has already been borrowed for the renovations of the Aquatic Centre? Will this money now be used to fix the downtown pool, requiring another loan to renovate the Aquatic Centre?
I find it very concerning that the Aquatic Centre is only 25 years old and already requires such extensive renovations.
Will the budget for upkeep be $2 million per year?
