Radium Hot Springs pools reopen after 8-month shut down
RADIUM HOT SPRINGS, B.C. — The pools at Radium Hot Springs reopened on Friday, Sept 18, for the first time since January.
The pool operators hoped to keep the pool open last winter while structural repairs were done to the pool change rooms. However, an Interior Health inspection report, issued Dec, 19, 2019, found “suction and entrapment hazards.
Mayor Clara Reinhardt is excited to see the pools reopen, and suggests now is a good time for locals to get reacquainted with the facility.
“It’s been a real long haul,” says Reinhardt. “The locals are pretty excited. It means a lot to our accommodators and our businesses because people come in the shoulder seasons for a weekend or a few days and just like to relax at the pool, so this is a pretty important asset to the community.”
