Aquatic Centre to close for three weeks

Vernon’s Aquatic Centre is ready for its annual upgrade.

The facility at the Recreation Centre will be closed three weeks for its annual maintenance starting this coming Monday Aug. 26, until Sept. 16.

“This annual shutdown gives the maintenance staff an opportunity to do preventative maintenance and repairs to systems that cannot be serviced while the facility is open to public. Other tasks such as touch up painting, tile repair to the pool basins also occur during this three week closure,” a city news release said.

The centre’s office will remain open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the shutdown.
