Aquatics Centre currently closed for renovations
The Aquatics Centre has been closed to the public since November 2024 to accommodate renovations to the space that would address safety concerns caused by saltwater and high humidity. These renovations were deemed essential to ensure the facility could be used safely and effectively by the community. Due to unexpected recently discovered structural issues caused by saltwater and high humidity stemming from insufficiently sized HVAC equipment installed during the original construction, the renovation work is now expected to extend closure until fall 2025.

Climate change is already affecting communities across Canada through rising temperatures, extreme weather, and shifting ecosystems. Meeting our climate targets will require transforming how we produce and use energy, using every low-carbon tool available. Nuclear energy provides reliable, carbon-free power at scale, complements renewables, and enables innovation in clean hydrogen and district heating. With 60% of Ontario’s electricity already from nuclear and a long history of leadership in safety, technology, and waste management, Canada is well positioned to expand its role. This talk will examine the urgent realities of climate change, the challenges of decarbonizing our energy system, and the potential of both existing and proposed nuclear facilities to help build a sustainable, secure, low-carbon future.
