The timeline for Thompson’s new aquatic centre is being pushed back.

 

Mayor Colleen Smook says the latest update shows the facility is now expected to be turned over to the city in early 2027.

 

 

Smook says the delay is largely due to early construction challenges, including unstable ground conditions that required additional work on the building’s foundation.

 

She adds that work on those piles set other trades behind schedule, though crews have been working to catch up.

 

Smook also notes the city continues to meet weekly with project partners to monitor progress and address any issues moving forward.
