The new stainless-steel liner for the indoor swimming pool in Port Hardy, British Columbia, has finally arrived after spending weeks in transit. The district’s officials have expressed excitement over the arrival of the liner, which indicates the pool may open for use by the end of this year.
The district has been working behind the scenes, and residents will soon see the pool taking shape. The mayor of Port Hardy, Pat Corbett-Labatt, said, although the pool’s work is nowhere near completion, the next step is to install the liner and complete the electrical and mechanical work required for the pool.
The district originally planned to replace the 40+ year old pool with a state-of-the-art multiplex, but after being denied funding by the federal and provincial governments, they opted for a “Pool Revitalization Project” to upgrade the existing pool. The pool has been closed for repairs since June 2021.
