R. Currently, we do not have dates scheduled for the reopening of the pool given the pandemic and sanitary measures. With Ontario still in phase 2 of deconfinement, all indoor pools and water play areas can open without access to items with high contact (e.g., slides and ladders). The swimming pool only having access to the ladders, therefore, cannot open. The pool will be closed until the provincial government announces otherwise.
