Ruth Inch Memorial Pool

As a pre-emptive measure, the Ruth Inch Memorial Pool will be closed effective Wednesday, March 18, until further notice as the City prepares for the potential impacts of COVID-19. For the latest information and to find out what the City is doing in preparation of COVID-19, visit www.yellowknife.ca/covid-19.

The Ruth Inch Memorial Pool hot tub and steam room facilities have been closed until further notice, based on Social Distancing requirements that are being encouraged by NWT/AB Lifesaving Society. Regular pool operating hours will continue at this time with staff monitoring the water every hour, and sanitizing all touchpoints and surfaces several times a day. We ask residents who become ill to stay home and look after themselves and encourage those you know are sick to do the same. For more information on what the City is doing, Frequently Asked Questions, and specific facility information, visit www.yellowknife.ca/covid-19.

The Ruth Inch Memorial Pool is a bright, warm and welcoming place to exercise, learn (Red Cross and Lifesaving Society programs available), and play. The main pool beach access and hot tub lift allow accessibility for all abilities and ages. The steam room and whirlpool are the perfect place to relax after your workout or long day. The facility also has a large outdoor deck with a BBQ and picnic tables that overlooks Frame Lake, providing a premier rental opportunity for private functions!

We take great pride in our clean, safe building and our friendly and qualified staff. We want to ensure that you have the best possible experience while you visit. Help us keep a safe, fun and healthy environment for everyone by following the facility guidelines and respecting other visitors and our staff. Your courtesy and cooperation will encourage others to do the same.
