Upgrades at The Leisure Centre

The future of The Leisure Centre has been topic of discussion since its closure a year ago December with the opening of the Eastlink Centre. “I am so excited to see the City moving forward with this project. The Leisure Centre has been an important part of the community for many years and I am happy to see it will continue to serve the community in the future.” Says Carol Longmore, Aquatics and Wellness Assistant Manager.

Current information provided by a structural assessment presented by Genivar has determined that it will remain closed presently, as it undergoes. The renovations will include 3 phases consisting of:

Phase #1 - $1,300,000
structural repairs including mechanical room flooring, reinforcement of steel trusses and surface repair around sections of the pool.

Phase #2 - $1,600,000
mechanical and electrical repairs and replace ventilation and air conditioning equipment, replacing electrical conduits, upgrading plumbing, and electrical fixtures , replacing the fire suppression system and upgrading the pool plumbing and filtration system.

Phase #3 - $1,000,000
architectural repairs such as replacing door hardware, repairing metal fixtures and panels, re-caulking windows, upgrading bathrooms and change rooms and improving barrier free access.

The report determined that the pool tank itself is in great condition. The total cost of the project is estimated at $4,000,000 and has been approved by council to begin right away. There is no way to estimate the time of reopening until the contract has been tendered and awarded.
