Vanderhoof Pool Opens

VANDERHOOF – Tomorrow will be a big day for residents of Vanderhoof. The new Vanderhoof Aquatic Centre is throwing its doors open to the public. The $12-million facility came in under budget though not quite on schedule.

The facility boasts a 6-lane lap pool, a 1,500 square foot leisure pool and a 35-person hot tub as well as a sauna.

Mayor Gerry Thiessen did an impromptu tour of the pool today and says it’s still had to believe.

“It’s one thing to know and to sign the contract, as the mayor, for a pool to be built. It’s another thing, totally, to be here physically.”
