Wilkie receives federal-provincial funds for new pool
The Town of Wilkie has been approved for funding for a new pool.
The joint federal-provincial release said the main objective of the cost-share project is to build a new outdoor swimming pool, with a water slide and a diving board. The pool will also be accessible, with a sloped ramp instead of stairs to enter the pool.
The funding is provided through the Canada-Saskatchewan investment in infrastructure projects aimed at strengthening communities.
Wilkie will receive $1,070,460 in federal funding; $891,961 in provincial funding, and the town will cover the remaining $713,729, according to the release.
