Pools to Undergo Annual Maintenance 2026

Annual maintenance pool closures will take place as usual this Summer as the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) works to extend the life of the facilities and minimize unexpected closures throughout the year.

During these closures, water is drained from the wet areas (pool, hot tub etc.) of some of the facilities so that the maintenance work can be completed.

The pool closures are scheduled to ensure that at least two pools are open to the public at any one time.

Closure Dates

• Sechelt Aquatic Centre - The pool, wet areas and change rooms will be closed from May 31 to July 1, re-opening on July 2. The weight room and fitness studio will remain OPEN. Please keep in mind that change rooms will not be available during this time.

To complete this work, all wet areas (main pool, leisure pool, lazy river, hot tub, steam room and sauna) and change rooms will be closed. The weight room and fitness studio will be open. www.scrd.ca/sechelt-pool/

Gibsons and District Aquatic Facility - The entire facility will be closed from July 2 to July 26, re-opening on Wednesday, July 27. www.scrd.ca/gibsons-pool/

This year, the SAC and GACC weight rooms will each be closed for three days for maintenance work. GACC weight room will be closed May 8 to 10, and the SAC weight room will be closed May 22 to 24.

Pender Harbour Aquatic and Fitness Centre - The entire facility will be closed from, August 1 to September 7, re-opening on September 8. www.scrd.ca/pender-pool/

What work is being done?

Planned maintenance will take place at all three pools, including ongoing work on boilers and pumps, as well as painting and tile and grout repairs.

The SCRD recognizes that temporary pool closures can be inconvenient-particularly for families and regular users. We appreciate the community's patience and understanding as this important work is carried out to keep our facilities safe, reliable, and in excellent condition year-round.
