Service Update: Crystal Pool Closed Until December 30
Due to an ongoing mechanical issue, the pool is currently closed. We have decided to begin our annual maintenance shutdown one week earlier than planned. Starting November 23, all drop-in activities, recreation and pool programs at Crystal Pool will be suspended until December 30 when the facility is scheduled to re-open.
During the closure, Crystal Pool memberships will be accepted at all partner facilities including municipal recreation centres and the downtown YMCA.
Apologies for the inconvenience, your patience and understanding is appreciated.
