City To Seek Pool Funds

Dec 11, 2018 | 4:00 AM

PRINCE GEORGE – Not surprisingly, Council overwhelmingly supported an application the City will make to secure funding from a new federal-provincial to offset the cost of replacing the Four Seasons Pool.

In October 2017, a referendum was conducted and the City was given public support to borrow no more than $35 million dollars for the project.

The new Canada Infrastructure Program targets Community, Cultural and Recreation Infrastructure. $35 million is set to come to BC.

“Let’s make sure some of that comes to Prince George,” said Councillor Garth Frizzell.

Dave Dyer, the General Manager of Engineering and Public Works, told Council he believes the replacement pool project meets the criteria of the fund.
