Indoor Pool Reopening Delayed

Please note the reopening of the indoor pool at the Tillsonburg Community Centre has been delayed as we work through the final steps of the inspection process.  

As a result, all aquatic programs will continue to operate at the Lake Lisgar Waterpark through Wednesday, August 5. Pending successful completion of the follow-up inspection on Wednesday, August 5 we expect the indoor pool to reopen for regularly scheduled programs beginning Thursday, August 6. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue working to get the indoor pool reopened.
