Trillium funding to make Arthur Pool safer

An Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant will help fund upgrades to the Arthur pool.

The Township of Wellington North received $18,200. from the Resilient Communities Fund to upgrade the reception area and install outdoor showers at the Arthur Pool. The funding will also support the installation of a second emergency exit to support patron flow.

The upgrades are expected to help offset the impact of COVID-19, by improving the facility infrastructure for the delivery of programing in a safe manner.

“We are very excited to see these upgrades happening at the Arthur Pool as it will make our program delivery safer for our community.” said Councillor Steve McCabe, Chair of Recreation, Parks  And Leisure Committee. “The outdoor pool provides opportunities for all ages and abilities and we look forward to seeing these improvements completed. Thank you to the Ontario Trillium  Foundation and MPP Pettapiece for supporting our application.”
