Vancouver’s mayor, Ken Sim, and Councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung are proposing corporate sponsorship and a fundraising drive to replace the aging Kitsilano Pool.
The 50-year-old pool, closed for summer repairs, has reached the end of its service life.
A motion will be brought next week urging the council to prioritize reimagining and replacing the pool. The motion highlights off-season repairs’ inadequacy and suggests creating a modern, climate-resilient facility with additional amenities like whirlpools and steam baths.
It also calls for exploring private sector funding and establishing a dedicated fund for public, corporate, and philanthropic contributions.
The motion is set for June 26.
