CANCELLED: Pooch-A-Poolooza!

Update Friday, August 30, 3:30 pm: 

With great regret, the team at Courtenay Recreation is advising the community that the previously announced Pooch-A-Poolooza Dog Swim at the Courtenay Outdoor Pool on Saturday, August 31, is CANCELLED due to an unforeseen issue at the pool this afternoon requiring thorough cleaning and disinfection. The pool simply won’t be ready in time for this previously-planned event.

Our sincere apologies to all the dogs and owners who were looking forward to the event, we hope to see you in 2025.

Thank you for your understanding.

 

 

Previously:
Every dog must have its day and that day is Saturday, August 31 at the Courtenay Outdoor Pool at Lewis Park. Courtenay Recreation is hosting a dog swim, the last event of the season before the pool closes for the winter. Bring your favourite pooch for some fun in the sun.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Admission is $5, with all proceeds donated to our local SPCA. Proof of rabies vaccination is required for each dog, so be sure to get those ready ahead of time. 

The big pool will be open for dogs of all shapes and sizes. The wading pool remains closed for maintenance, and will not be available. Dogs must be friendly to attend. Sorry humans, only dogs will be allowed in the pool during the dog swim.

The friendly staff from Van Isle Veterinary Clinic will be on site to support the safety of all furry swimmers, and Woofy’s Pet Foods will have pet-friendly giveaways.

Join us for this paw-some pool party where your furry friends can cool off, make a splash, and enjoy a doggone good time!
