Structural deficiencies at the base of the Cambridge Bay swimming pool have led the hamlet to close the facility for safety reasons for the duration of the summer.

The decision was made Monday when it was detected that corrosion from chlorine had rotted away the structure at the bottom of the pool, said Marla Limousin, the communitySA国际影视传媒檚 senior administrative officer.

SA国际影视传媒淲e probably need to get a new pool,SA国际影视传媒� Limousin stated.

The swimming pool had opened for the season on July 1. It was scheduled to remain in use for the first three weeks of August.

ThereSA国际影视传媒檚 no option to convert to a waterfront program because lifeguards require specific training for outdoor supervision on the coastline, Limousin noted.

SA国际影视传媒淎lso the weather here has been cool and rainy, so itSA国际影视传媒檚 not a great option at the moment,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

The pool staff consisted of three lifeguards brought up from the south and one local resident. As of earlier this week, the hamlet was still deciding how to deal with compensation for the lifeguards in light of the pool season concluding earlier than planned.

Cambridge Bay also endured the closure of its arena for a year and a half due to mould issues. That facility only reopened in March after a lengthy hiatus for remediation.

The community has been lobbying and fundraising for a new recreation complex.
