Signage related to the pandemic at the Aquaplex and other Town facilities are being removed over the coming week.

The Town also notes that pre-registration is no longer required for drop-in programming at the Aquaplex.

Registration is now open for swimming lessons, babysitting courses, the Stay Safe course, Junior Lifeguard Club, and the Bronze Medallion & Cross.
