Please help express how important the reopening of our Kimberley Aquatic Centre is by signing this petition. 

This petition was created to help demonstrate how many people in our town rely on our Aquatic Centre for their wellness, especially our senior population who struggle to get enough exercise outside. Many people suffer from joint pain which is eliminated by exercising in the water. In addition, swimming is a life skill in which our younger population need to continue developing. 

Many swimming pools throughout BC are starting to open up or have made a plan to reopen.  lifesaving.bc.ca/covid19 has a list of the pools scheduled to reopen and what they plan to offer in regards to programs. 

We are navigating uncharted waters during this pandemic but we are in this together and the Aquatic centre is a very important aspect in keeping our community healthy.

Please sign this petition and/or email our Mayor and Councillors to express how important it is to keep our community healthy and strong especially during this time.  Acknowledging the fact it will be a different experience and there will be new procedures in place, we want to keep everyone safe and we support the new protocols and procedures and will utilize our pool facilities responsibly.

Thank you for your support!

Be Calm. Be Kind. Be Safe
