The City of Calgary is expected to announce Thursday the permanent closure of the Inglewood Aquatic Centre.
The centre first opened in the 1960s and was home to a six-lane, indoor pool, an aquatic climbing wall, a dry sauna, and a multipurpose room.
Prior to the pandemic, the issue of saving inner-city pools made headlines as thousands signed a petition to save the Inglewood and Beltline facilities.

The Beltline Aquatic and Fitness Centre was closed two years ago.
In the past, councillors have expressed interest in providing facilities to the inner city akin to those being developed in the suburbs, and there’s a chance more information on that could come this morning.
A press conference with city officials is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.
