Project Update
The Crystal Pool and Wellness Centre Replacement Project has been a priority focus of the City of Victoria, with a goal of ensuring that this infrastructure meets the community’s social, health and wellness, and environmental objectives over the long term. The new facility will be a fully-accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community centre for residents of all ages.
Recently, Victoria Council directed a change in the approach to delivering the project which is anticipated to lead to additional benefits although it may mean a delay in constructing the new facility. This change includes shifting the proposed site from a park to an existing parking lot next to the City’s arena. The new location provides the added benefit of allowing for a net increase in park space for this urban neighbourhood, once the existing recreation centre is decommissioned, and also presents an opportunity to explore further energy efficiencies as well as additional community amenities. Although we are taking more time to investigate opportunities we will remain in contact with you as this work progresses. Thank you for your continued support!
