With the continued uncertainty surrounding when it might be safe to open aquatics facilities, Norfolk County has made the difficult decision to not open the Delhi Kinsmen Pool for the 2020 season.
The seasonal facility would typically be open from the beginning of June to the end of August. In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 throughout the community, the Province’s emergency orders have closed public swimming pools and splash pads until at least the end of June, significantly shortening the potential outdoor swimming season.
The Delhi Kinsmen Splash Park and Simcoe Kinsmen Splash Park will remain closed until the Province allows such facilities to open and Norfolk County develops protocols to protect the health of users.
Additionally, Norfolk County will not open the Annaleise Carr Aquatic Centre in Simcoe until at least September 8, provided the provincial government has lifted its emergency orders by that time.
