2025 extended closure

The Emerald Hills Leisure Centre will be closed from March 18 to September 2025. The aquatic shutdown was determined based on the exploratory work completed during the 2024 annual maintenance closure. The shutdown will address issues related to the pool basins, along with other items needing repair or replacement.

Reducing closure impacts

• Increased programming and services at Millennium Place and Kinsmen Leisure Centre will be accommodated where feasible.
• During the closure, the second floor at Emerald Hills Leisure Centre will remain open for bookings and programs during select times.
• More information will be shared early in the new year to help guests at Emerald Hills Leisure Centre find alternative aquatic activities.
