What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Fredericton council unanimously voted to identify the Grant-Harvey Centre expansion as the preferred option for a new 25-metre pool, which city staff described as “tender-ready”. The city will now pursue federal and provincial funding and assess a community-led capital fundraising campaign. Separately, the city-owned Fredericton Indoor Pool is scheduled to receive a $15-million upgrade, with construction planned to begin in April 2028.
