Public Notice- 2020 Day Camp and Pool Closures

On Monday June 8, Municipal Council made the difficult decision to cancel all day camp and pool programs for 2020 due to the COVID-19 situation.

Although the Province has announced that water recreational facilities can open under Stage 2 of the Reopening Framework, and certain summer day camps can operate in July and August, the requirements for health and safety significantly impact the Municipality’s ability to safely offer our summer programming.

The following programs and facilities will not be available in 2020:

Chesley Day Camp

Chesley Pool

Tara Day Camp

Tara Rotary Pool

This decision was made to protect the health and safety of participants and staff. The Municipality thanks you for your patience and understanding.

Did you know that:

Backyard pools are the number one location where children drown.
Each year in Canada, an average of 487 people die from drowning.
Drowning can occur in as little as 10 to 20 seconds, in only centimetres of water.

Everyone using your pool should:

Know how to swim
Know which part of the pool is deep or shallow
Know the location of the nearest phone
Always swim with a buddy, never alone
Be sober – alcohol and pools don't mix

Stay out of the pool if there's thunder, lightning, or if you cannot see the bottom of the pool clearly.
