At their meeting Sunday night the Aqua Centre Community Committee reported they have just over 300 thousand dollars in their fund raising account so far. The city has applied for a grant towards the new pool through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program and expect to get a response in the spring once the federal and provincial government budgets are approved.
They also reported there’s a lot of entertainment coming up as fund raisers.

Tickets will be sold at the door for ten dollars for adults and 5 for 12 and under. Plans are also underway for other fund raisers including another golf tournament in August.
