The main pool will also be deep cleaned and the facility will be painted.

“The facility has served our community for a lot of years and we’ve been in the process of modernizing it for the next generation,” Andrew Jones with the Town of Ponoka told CTV News Edmonton.

“We’ve done a whole host of upgrades to that facility all the way from our pool decks, basins, water slide diving boards and all of our mechanical systems to ensure that this facility is in tip top shape, and we’re going to keep it operational and running for all of our users to enjoy for many, many years to come.”

The centre’s fall programming, including swimming lessons, will begin in late October, the town said.
