The City of Vernon is progressing with the construction of the $136 million Active Living Centre (ALC). Following previous timeline delays, the project is currently on schedule.

Key milestones include filling the facility’s pools on September 14, with substantial completion expected by October 30. Upon the ALC’s opening, the aquatic centre at the existing Recreation Centre will be decommissioned, though the center will continue to host dryland activities. Staff and lifeguard training is scheduled for early November, with tentative public access anticipated in December. The new facility will include an eight-lane 50-metre pool, a teaching pool, a leisure pool, a waterslide, a fitness centre, a double gymnasium, and a 189-metre indoor track.
