Pool Hours Set to Increase at RDCK Facilities
April 12, 2024
Nelson, BC: The Castlegar, Creston and Nelson Community Complexes will be offering increased hours of operation for their aquatic centres. The expanded hours of operation will begin at the Castlegar and District Community Complex on April 14 and at the Creston and Nelson Community Complexes on April 21.
“We are happy to announce, that we can now begin to offer increased hours of operation at our three main facilities,” said Craig Stanley, Regional Manager – Operations and Asset Management. “These increased hours of operation would not have been possible without the effort taken to promote and provide training opportunities within the RDCK region.”
Starting in early 2023, the RDCK began offering subsidized courses to support the continued growth and succession of lifeguards, swim instructors, fitness instructors and personal trainers.
“Staffing availability has significantly increased when the RDCK began offering free and subsidized training opportunities,” said Stanley. “With the increase in qualified staff, we are now able to offer increased hours of operation at our three main recreation facilities, with the potential of continued increases to come.”
The increased hours of operations for each facility are as follows:
