New Pool For Kapuskasing To Be Built Across From Arena

A proposed new swimming pool for Kapuskasing is changing its location. Town of Kapuskasing Staff told Council on Monday night that the proposed new pool is best to be built across the street from the Sports Palace instead of right next to it due a variety of issues. Mayor Dave Plourde says changing location won’t hurt the application.

“Well considering that it had to be a ready project, did it hinder the possibilities of getting the grant?,” he said. “It was the continuation of the application process and it was assured that changing the location wouldn’t be a problem.”

“There is parking there, no safety issues when it comes to children crossing the road. There could have been an issue of people crossing the road should it have stayed next to the arena. This is a perfect location as far as I am concerned. ”

Plourde says they don’t want to think about what they might have done in the future, and instead they want to make sure the proposal is done right the first time. A group of town officials visited Kirkland Lake recently and saw firsthand just how beneficial the new pool was to their community, especially with the addition of a leisure pool. The number of swimmers nearly doubled with that new feature.
