The Strathcona Regional District says work is moving along nicely on the new aquatic and wellness centre at Strathcona Gardens.

In the last month, work to improve access to the facility has been complete, the pool slide has been decommissioned and removed, and excavation for the pool’s foundation is currently in progress.

Temporary chemical room installations are underway, with relocation expected to be completed by the end of next week.

The New Aquatic and Wellness Centre, scheduled to be completed by 2027, will include a new 8-lane 25 m pool, accessible therapy pool, hot pool, and leisure pool with a lazy river, climbing wall, and waterslide.

A new fitness and wellness centre with sauna and steam rooms will also be included in this phase along with renovated change rooms and administrative areas.
