Greater Vernon Recreation Services is pleased to announce a new diving board has been installed at the Vernon Aquatic Centre and will be ready for the public to use later today (Wednesday).
The previous board was removed from the pool deck at the end of November out of an abundance of caution when a deficiency was identified during a regular inspection. City staff quickly placed an order a replacement board, which was received this week and installed.
“The diving board has always been a favourite amenity for many of our pool users so we are very happy to have it back in service,” said Gary Lefebvre, Manager, Aquatics.
