Winnipeg, MB - Work is continuing on repairs to Elmwood Kildonans Pool, located at 909 Concordia Avenue.
The pool closed for repairs due to an electrical fire in May 2014. While the damages related to the fire have been repaired, cracks were detected along the pool tank walls when structural engineers inspected the facility in preparation of re-opening. Further work on the pool has revealed a portion of the plaster between the pool tiles and concrete tank walls has separated from the tank. This could not be detected until the ceramic tiles associated with the cracks were removed.
While this issue can be fixed, it will take more time to complete repairs than was initially anticipated. The contractor has extended work shifts to expedite the pool reopening, however, a reopening date is not yet known.
Due to this delay, spring programming will not be offered at Elmwood Kildonans Pool. An enhanced schedule and additional programming will continue to be offered at Transcona Centennial Pool until the end of the spring session.
Further updates and information on the pool’s reopening will be provided when an expected reopening date is known. We thank citizens for their continued patience as this matter is resolved.
