The feasibility study, which was commissioned by Regional Service Commission 11 and completed last year, showed the new aquatic centre should be located adjacent to the Grant Harvey Centre, and have three pools a lane pool, a leisure pool, and a therapy pool.
The estimated cost of the building is about $30 million, with more than $7 million set aside as a contingency. Ramsey said he s confident other communities and levels of government will come forward with funding. The regional aspect of this infrastructure that we need to build, that regional piece is the trickiest part of this, he said. I think, when you think about who s making decisions, who s putting money in, whose money is contingent everyone needs to be at the table together doing this that s the key theme of this project, or at least getting this project off the ground and then governed moving forward.
