🛟 POOL UPDATE | July 29, 2026

The Archie Dillon Sportsplex Pool will be closed starting August 1 until September 8, 2026 for annual maintenance.

Some of our tasks are:
💧 repairing a section of flooring on the pool deck
💧 inspecting all electrical components
💧 servicing the pool pumps and filter
💧 refinishing all the change tables in the changing rooms
💧 getting the main pool heater maintained
💧 painting floors and upstairs observation deck

And … installing the NEW rock-climbing wall. You chose to add this asset after we won Ontario’s Most Active Community ParticipACTION challenge last summer. Now it’s going in!

We plan annual maintenance during the summer when pool attendance is typically lower. Gillies Lake Beach is open with lifeguards on duty seven days a week from 12:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Thank you for your patience while we work to maintain the pool. We appreciate it.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to staying connected with you there!
