Leak Discovered: Seven Oaks Pool Delayed Until April 2027
11 Nov
Summary
- A new leak has delayed the Seven Oaks Pool reopening until April 2027.
- Replacement membrane installation and testing extend the closure period.
- Alternative swimming options are being offered at another facility.
Seven Oaks Pool in Winnipeg faces a further setback, with its reopening now anticipated in April 2027. A recent discovery of a leak in the newly installed pool membrane during testing has extended the closure. This requires a new membrane to be ordered and fitted, a process that takes several weeks. Following installation, an additional month will be dedicated to thorough testing to ensure the pool's proper functionality.
The city is implementing measures to lessen the impact of this extended closure on residents. Early-morning swim opportunities and lessons are being added at Sergeant Tommy Prince Place. Stakeholders, including the Seven Oaks School Division and various swimming groups, are being consulted. Further details regarding swimming lessons will be published on the City of Winnipeg's website and in the upcoming Winter Swim Guide.
