Inuvik's swimming pool remains closed and there is still no estimate on when the pool will reopen.

"We'd like to update you on the status of our community pool. Unfortunately, the pool remains closed due to an ongoing leak issue," reads a Town of Inuvik update to its social media feed shortly after 1 p.m. on July 5.

"Town staff, in conjunction with engineers from AECOM, are diligently working to pinpoint the exact location of the leak and are developing a solution to fix it as quickly as possible. We understand the inconvenience this closure may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding."

After reopening last fall, Inuvik's swimming pool was closed indefinitely on June 11 after town officials found a "significant concern" with the foundation.

Closed for over three years after the Covid-19 pandemic first forced its shut down and then successive technical problems kept it closed to the public, the pool finally reopened in October. Enthusiasm for it's reopening has been significant, with public swims being free of charge because groups have been sponsoring the costs of admission.
