Team members from the Saskarc Group of companies (Saskarc
Inc. and Axiom Equipment Group)
spent the morning of Saturday, June 22, taping and painting the interior of the
Oxbow community pool.
Warly Pagao, Saskarc’s volunteer painter, sprayed
the interior walls and ceiling with two coats of paint, an area spanning 6,000
sq. ft., while other members from the team assisted with taping and painting
duties.
In 2017, Saskarc donated $10,000 to the town of Oxbow to
help build the community’s new pool, which is currently underway and projected
to be completed by mid-July.
The previous community pool was over 50 years old, and could
not be repaired anymore due to its crumbling structure. The new pool facility
will include new boilers and pumps, which had been breaking down regularly at
the previous pool facility for quite some time.
Home to the Seawolves Aquatic Club, the new facility will allow
the team to host the semi-finals and provincial finals with the added extra
swim lane and wheelchair accessibility with the zero-beach entry.
Some of the weekly activities offered include swimming
lessons and Aquasize, where children as young as 1 month old participate with
their parents, right up to lifeguarding courses and first aid courses for teens
and adults. Early bird swim is also popular with older community members, who
swim laps in the early morning hours.
The Expressway Family Centre works in collaboration with the
pool board to offer crafts during the afternoons at the pool as well as toddler
swim during June when school is still in session.
The Saskarc Group of companies is proud to support local
community initiatives which enrich the lives of local residents.

community pool’s progression!
