I’m confused, is this not the location of the already pre-existing Hemingway pool? So why do they need to build a new “pool?”

 

[IanO]

Building upon it to the north/NW

 

[MacLac]

Ahh now I see….that’s what I thought. Just another poorly worded hack job by the CBC. Why not just focus on the actual project….NOT what is currently in place…..

What do we have here? Mobilization?
From this morning.

Time is of the essence.

Wait, so it’s already been tendered out? Whom? Do I see a Clark logo on that sea can? What about the Lewis one?

 

[IanO]

That's a Chandos logo.

Big project for a little man…..can they pull off a $150M velodrome?

This could be a staging area for the Peter Hemingway Rec Centre renos

It was a crap article, but the budget is also just confusing in general for how much it is changing. The 153mil should be the total cost of a new rec centre including existing pool and new velodrome, new running track, new fitness centre, and new daycare.

 

[MacLac]

But what did the existing pool cost back in 73? Or whatever year it was built. Or are the part in parcel renovations happening to the pool simultaneously as the new Velodrome/running track/fitness Center?
