Work on the new Lac La Biche aquatics facility is set to begin.

Fencing is set to go up today, Monday, Feb. 5, the County says, to change the configuration of the parking lot and access to the Bold Centre, where the pool is being built.

The main east entrance will be available between February and April, when new updates will be anticipated.

The total budget committed is $44.9 million, with a lazy river, teaching and leisure pool, six-lane competition pool, two hot tubs and Nordic spa and wellness area among other amenities.

Project funding includes a provincial grant of $9 million, a federal grant of $6 million and a County commitment of $29.9 million.

The timelines state that early 2026 could see completion. There is still design elements underway.
