Pool budget amounts for almost half of all spending over the next four years on recreational facilities in Vancouver
This is more than was initially budgeted for the VAC project and was made possible by cutting almost $13 million from a site project related to the West End Community Centre, Joe Fortes Library and the King George secondary school.
It was identified as a strong candidate for redevelopment because it is located alongside the water – so there could be outdoor uses incorporated – is not seismically safe and is where the most population growth is expected over the next decade. Operating at close to capacity is crucial to a pool’s economic success as they cost the same to operate despite how many swimmers are using it.
Parks commissioner John Coupar asked staff why there was no money in the capital budget to build the proposed Mount Pleasant outdoor pool.
