ELMSDALE: The Municipality of East Hants says it will be Spring or Summer 2024 before the East Hants Aquatic Centre could see programming return.
The Centre, located in the Elmsdale Business Park next to the Lloyd E. Matheson Building, sustained serious damage from the mid July flooding that hit the area.
As a result, the Centre has been closed due to damage in the electrical equipment area which was in the basement of the facility.

In an update, the Aquatics Centre said that the facility’s main electrical and mechanical systems had major damage.
“Lead times on replacement equipment for these commercial components are extremely lengthy,” the Municipality of East Hants said.
“We’re working with insurance providers, engineers and contractors to source the necessary equipment as quickly as possible.”

“Unfortunately, delivery and installation dates are unknown and depend on many factors,’ added MEH.
The East Hants Aquatic Centre will remain closed for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.
MEH said it is optimistic that we will be able to open for spring or summer programming in 2024.
