Planned Aquatic Centre Shutdown: October 13–26, 2026

The Jasper Fitness and Aquatic Centre will undergo its annual pool shutdown from October 13 to 26, 2026, with the pools scheduled to reopen on October 27, 2026.

This is a planned annual closure that allows our team to complete essential maintenance, cleaning, inspections and repairs that cannot be carried out while the pools are operating.

Regular preventative maintenance helps keep our aquatic facilities safe, clean and operating efficiently, while reducing the risk of unexpected equipment failures and closures throughout the year.

What's happening during the shutdown?

This year, our team will focus on three major maintenance projects:

Plumbing Repairs
A contractor will inspect and repair plumbing components, including pipes and valves, to help maintain reliable water circulation and prevent future equipment issues.

Pump Servicing
Pool pumps play an essential role in circulating water through the filtration and treatment systems. Servicing these pumps helps ensure they continue operating safely and efficiently.

Filter Sand Replacement
One of our largest projects this year is replacing more than 20,000 pounds of sand in the pool filtration system.

Over time, filter sand becomes less effective at trapping dirt and debris. Replacing it helps improve filtration, maintain water clarity and reduce strain on the pool's mechanical systems.

Additional Maintenance and Cleaning

Alongside these major projects, staff will complete a variety of routine maintenance and cleaning tasks throughout the aquatic facility, including:

• Draining and deep cleaning the wading pool and hot tub.

• Inspecting pool drains and safety equipment.

• Inspecting and completing maintenance on the steam room and waterslide.

• Deep cleaning changerooms, pool decks, mechanical rooms and other areas of the facility.

• Completing smaller repairs and preventative maintenance tasks.

These activities are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe, welcoming and reliable aquatic facility for residents and visitors.

When Will the Pools Reopen?

The pools are scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

We understand that the temporary closure may affect regular routines and appreciate the community's patience while our team completes this important work.

By taking the time to maintain our equipment and facilities now, we can help prevent unplanned interruptions and support the long-term operation of the Jasper Fitness and Aquatic Centre.
