Hot Tub Repair Update

The Hot Tub at the North Peace Leisure Pool has not been operational for several years due to mechanical issues requiring significant repairs.

During the annual maintenance shutdown in 2022, staff and specialized contractors began these complex repairs, starting with sonar scanning to identify leaks and broken pipes. Repairs were made to several pipes buried in the concrete pool deck, two main drains, and two jets inside the hot tub basin. The hot tub finishing was removed, cracks were sealed, and it was refinished. This allowed further testing of the various systems required to operate the hot tub; however, additional leaks were identified. 

 North Peace Leisure Pool Commission Chair Trevor Bolin provides a further update on December 9, 2022: 

Another update on the Hot Tub will be provided on February 1, 2023. Click here to sign up to receive updates about maintenance, closures and other operational updates at the North Peace Leisure Pool facility.

Annual Pool Shutdown

Aquatic facilities require annual maintenance to extend the facility's life and minimize unexpected closures. During the temporary Annual Pool Shutdown, staff can conduct various preventative maintenance, deep cleaning, and larger projects that cannot be completed when the pool is filled with there. Generally, the North Peace Leisure Pool closes for several weeks each fall for the Annual Pool Shutdown.
