Our amazing new ourdoor swimming pool is slated to be completed for July 1, 2025.  The construction is quickly coming along and we all can't wait for it to be fully completed. 

 Construction of the 4,000 square foot change house by Home Hardware continues into the winter.  Home   In addition to the centrally located office, they will be constructing 3 change rooms – male, female and family/accessible rooms.  The mechanical room will host the newest in pool equipment as well as supplying utilities to the office and change rooms.  The building will be entirely enclosed and heated.

  Western Recreation – the pool basin contractor – completed the first phase of the pool tank construction in September.  The pool incorporates many modern concepts including a zero entry, toddlers’ pool, several water spray features, a one-meter diving board, four swimming lanes – 25 meters in length, a water slide, and a large perimeter deck area.   Parking will be off-street on the east side of the building.

Funding for the new pool, to replace the existing 47-year-old structure, was made possible, in part, by a $1.9 million ICIP grant (Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program).   Presently, the Town of Wilkie, Wilkie Recreation Board, and the Wilkie and District Community Foundation are fund-raising to secure the rest of the funds required.  

We have been busy fundraising and haven't quite reached our goal.  If you are wanting to make a donation to the amazing community project please contact the Wilkie Town Office at 306-843-2692 or stop in !
