MEDIA RELEASE: For Immediate Release:

Yarmouth, N.S. – The Mariners Centre Expansion Board (MCEB) has made a significant move forward with the planned expansion at Mariners Centre.

We are all so excited to be a part of this legacy project,” said Nicole Albright, chairperson of the Mariners Centre Expansion

The community is indebted to the generosity and commitment of this region.”The campus-style hub expansion will offer amenities for health, wellness, and entertainment. Featuring a modern aquatics center, the new facility will provide a six-lane, 25-meter pool, a leisure pool, a fitness center, multi-purpose spaces, and an indoor walking track. The expansion will support programming and activities for youth and youth at risk, families, seniors and visitors alike — meeting contemporary environmental and physical accessibility standards.
