Per a report by the Vancouver Sun,[2] the Vancouver Aquatic Centre rebuild will not include a 50-m (64-ft) pool and the centre’s existing pool will have to be replaced with one half the size.

Initially, the rebuild, which was set to cost $140 million, now costs around $170 million.

Work on the new facility, which will include a much larger hot tub and a lazy river, is expected to start late next year.
