Crystal Pool replacement will require approval via referendum because its cost will be more than $50 million.
Council voted Thursday to find room in its 2023 budget for $1.78 million to restart the Crystal Pool replacement project.
The 52-year-old facility, which is responsible for 40 per cent of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions, is now at the point where replacement is a wiser option than repair, according to city staff reports.The previous council left the issue of replacing Crystal Pool for this council to deal with, after it was left out of the 2022 strategic plan due to the pandemic.
Over the past four years, the city has spent about $2 million on pre-construction planning and design, with very little to show for it. A referendum on the project is expected to be held in 2024 and will include a binding question on the public’s willingness to borrow to build a new recreation centre, and a non-binding question about the centre’s location and amenities.While the notion to include funding for the first phase of the project passed unanimously Thursday, Coun. Chris Coleman tried to temper any excitement around the table.
