The Riverview Recreation Complex will not be ready for opening this winter.
An update on the project revealed the change in timeline is due to more work required in the pool.
Recreation director David Shea says a portion of the pool slab was not up to specifications and had to be replaced.
“Because the work sits on the project’s critical path, there’s a series of impacts coming from that that impact the overall schedule,” Shea told Riverview council.
The original timeline had the facility ready for the Town to take control in October 2026 and open to the public in January 2027.
The delay has shifted that timeline, with the Town taking control in April 2027 and the opening now scheduled for July 2027.
The schedule change is largely due to the additional work and the subsequent effects to construction and sequencing co-ordination.
Shea told council the project remains on track in terms of the budget.
His report noted the updated timeline included approximately $355,000 related to design consultants and project management.
The report said those costs are being tracked and assessed through the project’s contractual processes and haven’t been accepted as additional costs to the Town of Riverview.
Staff are also monitoring a potential financial exposure in the range of $800,000, mostly tied to the extended project duration and potential contractor impacts.
The report said the final financial impact will depend on how risks are mitigated and the outcome of ongoing contractual and claims processes.
