Centre Hastings Recreation Updates: Pool Reserve Fund Update

An Update on the Pool Reserve Fund

Many residents continue to care deeply about recreation opportunities for children and families, including the former pool.

The Pool Reserve Fund remains protected under Council's October 2025 direction and has not been redirected.

The fund was originally approximately $185,000. Following a donor request, $8,500 was reallocated to other recreation activities, leaving approximately $176,500 in the Pool Reserve Fund.

The remaining balance reflects both community fundraising contributions and a municipal contribution.

Council has directed that these funds remain available until December 31, 2030, for an eligible, feasible, externally led pool project that would not require municipal funding or operation.

In the meantime, Centre Hastings continues to support recreation through park improvements, playground upgrades, trails, arena operations, youth programming, ball diamonds and other community recreation opportunities throughout the municipality.
