Crystal Pool Replacement Project Updates
To maintain recreation programming during construction, the City plans to use the YMCA/YWCA building at Quadra and Broughton as an interim facility once the YMCA relocates to the Bay Centre in early 2026.
The Crystal Pool replacement project: Impacts of greenspace loss
For North Park, building a fair and climate-resilient future means prioritizing investments where they are needed most, listening to underrepresented voices, and measuring progress over time.
If the South option is chosen for the Crystal Pool, North Park will be set back in irreparable ways. A generation of kids will grow up without adequate access to trees, shade, or recreation.
Voting day is February 8, and site selection matters.
