The quality of the water is back to normal, so the pool resumes its activites according to the regular schedule. We take this opportunity to remind swimmers of the importance of rinsing in the shower before entering the pool. This procedure avoids contaminating the pool water.

Thank you for you understanding.

Due to the poor water quality, please note that the pool at Goyette-Hill Park is closed until further notice. All swimming lessons and free swimming periods are canceled. Of course, our team is working to solve this problem as quickly as possible.

Thank you for you understanding.
