The new swimming pool was a hot topic at Council Chambers last night.

 

A lot of preparation work continues for the new Aqua Centre who continue to work towards their grand opening. A number of young people did their testing to become a life guard this past weekend and a number of groups from right across the province were on hand for water testing, programming computers and helping set up furniture.

 

Thompson Rec also came to town to make a presentation to the Flin Flon Rec department on behalf of the new swimming pool. No official date has been given for the grand opening of the new pool but everything appears to be right on schedule.

 

A reminder that sponsorship opportunities are available and if you are interested in becoming involved you can contact the Rec Director Cait Bailey or get more information from the City Of Flin Flon website.

 

Mayor George Fontaine once again wanted to remind the residents in our community to be prepared for wildfire season. Right now there is no immediate danger but we know how quickly things can change, so Fontaine wanted to stress the importance of being prepared by having a bag packed, making sure your gas tank is full and filling out the registration app on the city website.

 

This is important if there is a State Of Emergency that all your pertinent information is there including any medical assistance you may need, insurance information, pet info and if you will need travel assistance.

 

This information is all confidential and private and will be relayed to the proper channels if needed.

 

The City also wants to remind residents to fill out their census surveys. These are very important because the details go towards health care and other services and also help with per capita grants.

 

The City will be making donations of $2,000.00 towards the Flin Flon Aboriginal Friendship Centre for the 2026 National Indigenous Peoples Day and another $1,000.00 towards the Flin Flon Fireworks committee.
