More than a decade in the making, Aquatic Centre will eventually replace the Ferny Coombe Pool and will be equipped with a six-lane lap pool, lazy river, hot tub, steam room and leisure pool. The total estimated cost of the project is $16.1 million. Multiple levels of government have provided more than $13 million in grant funding for the upcoming project.
