Dates set for outdoor pools and arena to open
As part of phase three of British Columbia’s restart plan, the City of Vernon will be opening more recreational facilities.
The Lakeview peanut pool and Lavington outdoor pool are anticipated to open Saturday, July 4 and the Kal Tire Place North Arena is scheduled to open Thursday, July 9.
“Over the last several weeks, staff have worked diligently to develop risk mitigation plans to reintroduce recreation opportunities for our public and prepare to open facilities in accordance with provincial health guidelines,” Mayor Victor Cumming said. “Thanks to the collective effort of everyone in our region – and across our province – we’ve heard the good news that B.C. is ready to transition into phase three of the BC Restart Plan. In addition, we’re excited to announce we’re ready to activate our plans, open our outdoor pools and one arena, and host children’s summer camps, to help us stay active this summer.”
All other indoor recreation facilities will remain closed until further notice, as well as the Polson Spray Park which is affected by high groundwater levels in the park.
