The COVID-19 pandemic has everyone wondering what our summer, and summer events, will look like.

With no definite answer on the horizon, The Town of Shaunavon has made a decision to prepare for the opening of the towns swimming pool.

Shaunavon Chief Administrative Officer, Tara Fritz, explained, "What we're gonna do there is proceed with prepping because there's stuff that needed to happen regardless, anyhow, as far as maintenance, such as painting etc. that needed to happen."

Fritz says the Town will hire two summer students to do the work in the hope that, at some point this summer, the pool will be able to open.

The Shaunavon Swimming Pool usually opens at the end of May.
