SURREY Mayor Doug McCallum on Wednesday announced his plans to build a new swimming pool, this time for the community of North Surrey at the Chuck Bailey Rec Centre.

McCallum said that with a rapidly growing population, he and Safe Surrey Coalition recognize the need for more infrastructure across the City of Surrey. Recently announcing his plan to build a new swimming pool for residents living in Cloverdale and Clayton at the Clayton Community Centre, McCallum has now turned his attention to North Surrey.

“I have heard loud and clear from residents of North Surrey that there is a need for a swimming pool for their community that they love. With today’s announcement, every community neighbourhood in our City will have a swimming pool for young families and seniors” said McCallum. 

Safe Surrey Coalition has made $424 million in capital investments for young families, youth and seniors and says that it will continue to build world-class community infrastructure to keep up with the city’s growth.
