The interactive water fountain in Market Square will begin operating today.
“City staff has been busy testing the fountain, training staff and ensuring the proper operating procedures are in place,” said Mario Petricevic, General Manager of Corporate Building Maintenance. “The water fountain has received approval by the local health department and is officially open for people to use and enjoy.”
Initially, the water fountain, washrooms and changing area in the Pavilion building will be open to the public from 9 a.m until 10 p.m., seven days a week. The schedules may be adjusted throughout the summer if necessary.
“We are very excited about the opening of Market Square’s interactive water fountain,” said Colleen Clack, General Manager of Culture and Tourism. “There are a number of events planned for Market Square throughout the summer that we expect will attract people downtown.”
