Regina recreation facilities were open for top athletes only for weeks cbc.ca 1 hour ago Theresa Kliem © Brian Rodgers/CBC The request to allow Paralympic and Olympic hopefuls to continue training at Regina s indoor facilities came immediately following the closure announcement in March, says the city.
Regina s indoor recreation facilities and pools have been closed for one-and-a-half months, but some residents have quietly been allowed to use them despite the shut down.
The city officially reopened its indoor recreation centres on Monday. Some top athletes, however, have been training there for weeks while the public has been kept out. The city received a request several weeks ago for high performance athletes to use city facilities to prepare for upcoming Olympic/Paralympic trials/international competitions, said the city in a written statement.
