It’s a YES!
On October 15, 2022, residents of Golden and Electoral Area A voted in favour of borrowing $18 million towards the construction of an indoor aquatic centre in Golden. The results? 1,477 Yes votes to 573 No votes – an overwhelming show of support for this facility and its future significance within the community. The CSRD is now moving forward with the detailed design of the facility and a fundraising campaign to raise the additional funds required for construction.

Why I support the future aquatic centre!
In their own words, here's what these community members have to say about this project and why you should contribute.
Make a DonationAn indoor pool will provide a year-round opportunity for people to stay active. The winters are long and many people struggle to find ways of exercising when it is cold outside. A pool will provide an inclusive space for people young and old and of diverse abilities. Senior citizens, in praticular, will benefit from having a non-weight bearing activity. This will greatly improve the health and wellness of our community and visitors.
