Breaking News - Sam Ketchum Pool will not re-open August 2nd

Initial work to repair a leak in the main tank of the Sam Ketcham Pool was completed; however upon refilling the pool to test the repairs further issues have arisen and substantial water is still being lost from the main tank. Additional testing is now required to find the source of these water leaks and then subsequent repairs will have to be done.

This situation means that unfortunately, the session of swimming lessons that was to begin August 2, including the Red Cross Assistant Water Safety Instructor course, will have to be cancelled. All persons affected will be personally contacted by CMRC staff. There is no timeline for re-opening of the pool.

“We are sorry for the inconvenience of this delay,” says Councillor Surinderpal Rathor. “We will inform the community as soon as possible when we have more information.”
