Roof comes off Westsyde Pool
KAMLOOPS — Since the Westsyde Pool closed in June 2015, the city has been under pressure from residents in that part of the community to fix the facility. While the city has taken the opportunity to look at other options for recreation on the North Side of the Thompson River, the decision was made to fix the existing pool, for just a little over $3 million.
Friday was a milestone day for the Westsyde Pool renovation. The roof has finally come off, and by the looks of the beams holding it up, it’s past due.
“As it comes apart, it’s pretty much what we were thinking,” Capital Projects Supervisor Matt Kachel said of the damage to the roof.
