I acknowledge Acadia University’s difficult decision to close the pool that has been such an important resource for our community. This pool has been a place of wellness, recreation, and connection for many of us—students, families, and residents alike—and its absence will certainly be felt.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to Acadia University for their almost 60 years of service in providing this vital space to our community. We recognize the challenges they have faced in maintaining the facility, and we deeply appreciate their commitment to supporting the health and well-being of our residents.
While this is a significant loss, please know that the Town is fully committed to ensuring our community’s needs are still met. We are re-engaging in talks with local partners to explore other opportunities for recreational programs, and we will work tirelessly to find alternatives that will serve you.
Your concerns and needs will be heard, and we are here to support you during this transition.
Thank you for your understanding, and we will continue to communicate with you as we navigate this change.
- Mayor Jodi MacKay
