Aquatics programs currently offered at the Tony Rose Memorial Sports Centre are set to migrate to Alder Street Recreation Centre.
Beginning on June 24th, the shift is being made to accommodate participants affected by challenges with mechanical features in the Tony Rose Memorial Sports Centre’s Pool.
“The pool at Tony Rose has served our community for more than 50 years. But as the infrastructure has aged and ongoing mechanical and operational issues increase, we will need to close the pool as we assess next steps.” explained Heather Savage, General Manager of Community Services.
Throughout the past month, Town staff closed the pool on two separate occasions to address malfunctions.
“Council is aware of the situation and has full confidence in our staff as they work to present what options are available moving forward,” said Mayor Lisa Post. “We understand how frustrating this is and are committed to working with our staff to determine the best way forward for both the Town and our community.”
Replacing the unit will not be a simple or low-cost fix.
Orangeville Council will decide on next steps following the presentation on July 8th, at which time an update will be provided to the public.
