If you planned to take a dip at Brennan Park Pool anytime soon, you will need to make alternative arrangements.
The District of Squamish announced in a news release this evening that the pool has been ordered closed by Vancouver Coastal Health.
After a recent safety inspection, the health authority determined that the pool deck does not meet the "required anti-slip standards for wet surfaces and has ordered an immediate pool closure until further notice as a health and safety precaution," reads a news release from the municipality sent out on Feb. 12.
"Vancouver Coastal Health treats facility closures as high priority given the impacts and importance to the community. District staff are working to remedy the slipping hazard and minimize the length of closure," the release states.
"We understand that residents will feel frustrated by this situation, and we are doing everything we can to re-open quickly and safely. Thank you for your patience while we work through this process."
Earlier this month, the District announced that the steam room at the rec centre was closed after a person slipped and fell. The District said then that VCH was planning to do an inspection of the flooring to sort out the next steps.
The pool and steam room opened in 1992, and the current flooring is original, according to the District.
