London city councillor Hadleigh McAlister was happy to christen the slide at Glen Cairn pool. The pool, which has been closed for three years due to the pandemic and repairs, re-opened this weekend much to the delight of those in the southeast London, Ont. neighbourhood.
The city says 10 of London’s 11 outdoor public pools will be open starting Canada Day, weather permitting, with Thames Pool remaining closed for the season.
A year after an aging outdoor pool was closed by city hall, a plan is being formulated to see it reopen. Glen Cairn Pool remained closed last summer because specialized contractors were not available to undertake extensive repairs, however, staff tipped their hand at a council committee meeting on Tuesday that a plan to reopen Glen Cairn Pool is in the works.
