Penticton Community Centre leisure pool repair work underway

PENTICTON – The leaky leisure pool in Penticton will be fixed, but it will be several weeks before the pool can be used again.

Work crews and professionals have come up with a solution to fix the pool’s leaking drains, which were discovered while refilling the pool following a summer shut down for pool deck tile replacement, according to Communications Officer Simone Blais.

It is anticipated the repair work will take several weeks, with crews working at night during off hours to avoid schedule disruptions in the main pool.

The city hopes to have the leisure pool back in operation by the third week of November.

Blais offered city apologies for the inconvenience, adding crews will be working to minimize disruption and return the Penticton Community Centre Pools to full use as quickly as possible.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
