On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report responds to City Council direction to report to the Toronto and East York Community Council on the urgent maintenance work currently underway at Donald D. Summerville Olympic Pools. While preparing the Donald D. Summerville Olympic Pools for the 2022 season, staff discovered that inclement winter weather significantly damaged the liners in the 50 and 25 metre pools rendering them irreparable and requiring full replacement.

To ensure the facility is able to partially open for the 2022 season, staff are expediting an emergency liner replacement for the 25 metre pool. The liner replacement is underway and will take approximately six weeks to complete. The diving pool and the 25 metre pool are anticipated to open at the end of July. The vendor is unable to source the 50 metre pool liner replacement for this season, and it will remain closed for summer 2022. The replacement will be completed as part of a comprehensive state of good repair project planned for 2023. To mitigate service impacts, staff have: · relocated permit holders to nearby pools · relocated CampTO swims to other nearby indoor and outdoor pools · communicated alternative outdoor and indoor pool options to lane and leisure swim participants through the City's website, signage and direct communication to permit holders · offered displaced aquatics staff shifts at other pools The washrooms located on the exterior of the building in addition to the food vendor will remain operational. Impacts to the 2023 pool season will be determined through further investigation and preliminary design this fall.
