Hiebert, Board Chair Dan Rose, Vice-ChaireNewsletter available for North Peace Leisure Pool updates
During the latest shutdown of the North Peace Leisure Pool in December, contractors discovered a leaking valve within the hot tub infrastructure. While a long and complex list of repairs has been made at the facility this year, the latest valve discovery will add another 6 to 8 week delay to the efforts on the hot tub.
The hot tub repairs prompted the Peace River Regional District and the City of Fort St. John to collaborate on strategies to keep residents and patrons informed about the operational updates at the facility.
The North Peace Leisure Pool Updates eNewsletter is now available for digital subscription, with the next release scheduled for February 1, 2023. All subscribers will receive the latest news about maintenance, closures and other operational updates. To sign up for the eNewsletter, scan the QR code.
