Community Centre users are reminded that the facility will be closed from Saturday, Aug. 17 to Saturday, Aug. 24 to complete necessary electrical lifecycle replacements.
These upgrades require shutting down mechanical systems including cooling, hot water and other building automation systems, meaning the facility is unable to support activities related to the fitness room, swimming pool, Cleland Theatre, and programs. Once the electrical updates are complete, the Community Centre building will re-open for regular use, excluding the pool area, which will continue its regularly scheduled maintenance.
