As the end of August approaches, the Syncrude Aquatic Centre enters its annual shutdown⚠️🏊

Over the next few weeks, our pool operators will work on various projects throughout the space to ensure the aquatics centre remains in the best condition possible. Many projects take place during the shutdown all with the goal of providing a clean and safe environment for swimmers to enjoy!

Shutdown takes place from August 24th and will be scheduled to re-open on September 19th. To learn more about the shutdown visit our website and view our FAQ section of the amenities page.
