Flin Flon Mayor Cal Huntley says with funding from the Federal and Provincial governments now confirmed for a new Aqua Centre it is their highest priority to have people in the pool as soon as possible.  He explained the next step will include hiring the right Project Manager to oversee the pool project from start to finish, selecting and confirming the correct location and design.  The process will include a sight analysis to confirm the most feasible area for the placement of the new Aqua Centre.  In concert to this the design will be finalized to ensure they are meeting the needs of the community.  He adds once the proper site and design are chosen the scope of work is to be competed with all the engineering, construction and ground work components and this will be followed by a tender process ending with the awarding of the contract for the construction of the new Aqua Centre.

Although Mayor Huntley could not commit to a time line or location he did mention at the City Council meeting the primary site they are looking at as a starting point is the former Willow Park Curling Rink Wading Pool site with the former Aqua Centre site being considered for expanding seniors housing.
