Public pools in Greater Sudbury are beginning to reopen. Gatchell Pool re-opened to the public on Sept. 28.
Residents can book swim times online at greatersudbury.ca/pools, on site at the facility or by calling 311. All other pools remain open.
Washrooms at many of the city's public beaches are closed for the season. The following locations no longer have washrooms open to the public:
- Kalmo Beach
- Meatbird Lake Park
- Nepahwin Lake Park
- Capreol Public Beach
- Whitewater Lake Park
Washrooms at the Bell Park main beach and Moonlight Beach will remain open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. to accommodate residents using the boardwalk and trail systems. These washrooms will be closed following the Thanksgiving long weekend.
The City of Greater Sudbury will be reopening nine more arenas in October, making them available to team and community users. Ice will be available to rent at these arenas on these dates:
- McClelland Community Centre and Arena - Oct. 3
- Toe Blake Memorial Arena - Oct. 5
- Capreol Community Centre and Arena (ice pad 2) - Oct. 5
- Cambrian Arena - Oct. 5

These arenas are currently open:

A report to city council in August outlined the planned approach to arena reopenings. It indicated the city would identify the number of pads to reopen based on demand for ice time.
On Sept. 22, council received an update on the status of arena openings; you can find that story here.
