P.E.I. pool needs to add the length of M&M candy for Swimming Canada certification
Charlottetown, PEI is undertaking a modest enhancement to its public pool to meet the requirements set by Swimming Canada for official competitions. The modest addition is about the length of an M&M candy, which amounts to eight to 12 millimetres.
The City of Charlottetown informed that it would take around five to seven days for the pool renovation work to be completed. This work includes grinding, sealing and repainting the pool. The cost of this work is $205.00 plus GST for one year, which will automatically renew at a higher rate of $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks.
The pool, which opened in June 2025, was found to be just short of the 25-metre length required by Swimming Canada. The company that built the pool started work to correct this discrepancy on September 11, and the city will bear the cost of the renovation.
The current report by The Canadian Press was first published on September 16, 2026.
