The Souris-Glenwood Swimming Pool will be seeing some upgrades thanks to funding from the federal government.

The pool will receive $20,500 under the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.

“A healthy and thriving community requires the necessary sporting facilities and outdoor spaces to ensure that the community is able to stay fit and active,” said Brandon-Souris MP Larry Maguire. “By supporting renovations to the Souris-Glenwood Swimming Pool we are fostering a healthy community while helping residents celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. By working together we are getting results for Westman!”

The money will be used to upgrade the shower and washroom facilities, replace the diving board, build additional equipment storage and to paint the interior and exterior of the building.

“With the support of the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, we will complete the necessary upgrades to the Souris-Glenwood Swimming Pool change room and washroom facilities,” said Charlotte Parham, Chief Administrative Officer, Municipality of Souris-Glenwood. “The Municipality is pleased to receive the funding that will assist in continuing to provide a safe and comfortable environment for residents and visitors to enjoy.”

The Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program helps fund renovations, expansions and rehabilitations to existing infrastructure that provides community and cultural benefits for the public.
