Clark Builders foreman Curtis Kushnerik shares an update on the pool renovation/expansion project with City of Camrose Recreation Facilities Senior Operator Greg Kuchnerek.
The Camrose Aquatic Centre pool expansion and renovation project is well underway. A setback to the completion timeline and to the overall budget was identified in the fall. Clark Builders discovered hidden structural steel brackets and wooden roof beams had deteriorated, after decades of service. Revamped engineering and repair work is now being undertaken. More hazardous material than originally thought to be in the building also requires safe removal. At this point, Camrose City Council has approved an additional $500,000 to the project contingency fund. Exact costs remain to be determined.

On the bright side, weather has cooperated and the exterior work is proceeding as per plan. The build to date reveals an impressive facility. Most people are likely to be surprised by the enormity of the new addition which features an eight-lane, 25-metre competition pool. The brand new waterslide promises to be a huge hit with users, as will the 20-person hot tub. The new leisure pool tank, with a lazy river and a very shallow tots' play area and spray feature, will provide hours of fun and should attract an expanded audience. The design includes a brand new outdoor water splash park, new meeting and party rooms, bright, spacious change rooms and more. Completion will be later than first planned, due to the unforeseen structural issues. Hopefully, it will occur in early to mid-2020.
