Syncrude Aquatic Centre to undergo maintenance at the end of August

The Syncrude Aquatic Centre at MacDonald Island Park will be temporarily closed to the public for annual preventative maintenance and upgrades from August 29 to September 19, 2011.

“It is essential that our Aquatic Centre be shut down for maintenance and upgrades once a year,” said Tim Reid, Chief Operating Officer for MacDonald Island Park. “Typically the process can take up to four to six weeks but we have been able to condense the process so that we can have it back-up and running for our community within just two weeks.”

The maintenance is necessary due to government safety regulations as well as the necessity to keep the Centre operating at peak efficiency.

The Syncrude Aquatic Centre will re-open on September 20, 2011 with its fall programming commencing, including swim lessons, in mid-October.
