Given those numbers, it’s not surprising that timeslots for the farewell event quickly filled up.

“It filled up within 24 hours,” said Lisa Kemp, the city’s program coordinator of special events. “And then we added extra spaces – twice.”

Former Canada Games Pool staff were also invited back for a visit, with about 40 people taking part in a walk-through of their old stomping grounds and sharing stories from their time at the pool. It also gave current staff a chance to hear some of the stories of staff who worked at the pool in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

At Saturday’s event, visitors followed a designated route that started at the reception desk, moved upstairs into the fitness area (which has been home to a number of weightlifting champions through the years) and downstairs to the pool deck. Along the way they could stop at four memento tables, where they could pick up items like rubber ducks with the Canada Games Pool logo, and two photo booths, including one in the toddler pool.

One of the photo stations was in the mezzanine fitness area, overlooking the pool facility. Fitness equipment is being moved to the gymnasium at Centennial Community Centre this week, before finding a new home in təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre when it opens in late 2023.

Gibson said the new facility will have different areas for fitness activities, including a space that has a view of the pool.

“The cardio equipment – the treadmills, the bikes and whatnot – will still be in an area where they have an overlook into the pool. There’s a long corridor the length of the pool up on the second level,” he noted. “Unlike this facility, it will be in a separate climate-controlled environment. So those that hated the hot experience will love the new facility; those that really loved it will probably find the new facility perhaps a bit more conventional.”

Taking the plunge

Təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre will include an eight-lane 50-metre pool, a leisure pool with a lazy river, hot pools and tot zone, as well as a fitness centre, two gymnasiums, multi-purpose rooms and community gathering spaces.

The new pool won’t have a water slide, as that wasn’t deemed to be a priority during the public engagement process about the new facility, Gibson said.

“In 1984, when we put in the first slide it was called the Lightning Shute waterslide. Then it was replaced in 2008 with what we see today, which is the Green Thunder waterslide which at the time was the longest indoor waterslide in British Columbia,” he said. “I don’t know whether that is still a title that we hold.”

If you didn’t take a plunge into the pool from the 10-metre tower, you’ve missed your chance as the new facility’s diving boards max out at five metres.
