The Winagami wading pool is inoperable and has been closed due to health and safety issues.  The facility will be assessed to determine the refurbishment and/or replacement costs required to bring the facility up to current health and environment codes.  Alternate recreation options, including a bike park, larger playground and/or spray park will also be evaluated.
