Municipal pool to remain closed for the summer due to structural concerns
BARRINGTON, NS, - Due to structural issues discovered in a recent assessment, the Municipality has made the difficult decision to keep the municipal pool closed this summer. The assessment revealed significant concerns, including water loss and structural compromise. As a result, the Municipality will conduct further investigation before determining the next steps.
“We understand that the municipal pool is an important part of our community, especially during the summer months,” said Warden Shaun Hatfield. “However, the safety of our residents is our top priority, and we must ensure that we fully understand the extent of these issues before making any further decisions.”
The Municipality is committed to thoroughly assessing the situation and exploring all available options. Further discussions and decisions regarding the future of the current pool or the potential for a new facility will take place in the coming months. Additionally, the Municipality will explore and consider alternative options for swimming programming to help meet the community's needs during this closure.
The Municipality appreciates the patience and understanding of residents as this process unfolds. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available. In the meantime, residents are encouraged to explore alternative recreational activities and facilities available within the Municipality.
