La Pocatière officials, citizens mobilize to prevent closure of cégep swimming pool

A committee of elected officials and citizens in La Pocatière is mobilizing to prevent the closure of the swimming pool at Cégep de La Pocatière, which is the only indoor swimming pool between Montmagny and Rivière-du-Loup. The cégep’s recent application for additional funding to repair the pool was rejected. Due to the pool’s condition, Cégep leadership has reportedly made the recommendation to its board of directors that it be closed. “We want to mobilize people, make them aware of the situation,” said Sauvons notre piscine committee member Francine Lamarre.
