Annual Facility Shutdown (explained in your Membership agreement, the relevant section can be viewed below) will take place beginning August 26^th 2023 to September 4^th 2023 inclusive for the entire facility, with an extended pool closure that is expected to end on September 10^th 2023. While we understand that temporary closures can be inconvenient, we believe that this is a necessary step to ensure the continued health, safety and enjoyment of our YMCA community.

Facility Maintenance Closure (August 26^th to September 4^th inclusive, reopening September 5^th): The primary purpose of this Annual Facility Shutdown is to conduct a thorough deep cleaning and disinfection of our entire facility, including all equipment, as well as a refinishing of the gym floor. In addition to this, we will be completing replacement of all lights in the facility with LED fixtures, which will make our facility much more energy efficient and will also reduce our environmental footprint. As we strive to maintain a healthy and safe environment for everyone, this intensive cleaning and upgrades will help us meet and exceed the highest standards of cleanliness and facility efficiency. Your health and safety remain our top priority.

Pool Closure (August 26^th to September 10^th inclusive, reopening September 11^th): In addition to the facility maintenance noted above, we will also be addressing the required refurbishment of our pools. Our pools are a cherished part of our YMCA community, and this total refurbishment is critical to ensure the longevity and safety of our pools for years to come. We understand that the pools are a valuable resource for our members, and we want to maintain it in the best possible condition for your health and safety.
