Pool crisis eases after chlorine boost and volunteers rally
Christie, who manages maintenance on a volunteer basis, sought help from a Vancouver pool expert after a flood damaged a park pool. A simple fix of adding chlorine and increased vacuuming shifts to 24 hours a day helped clear the water. Officials note ongoing repairs and massive financial losses from lost lesson revenue, campsite bookings, and concession income, with recovery efforts underway.
