The City of Victoria has confirmed that the former YMCA-YWCA building on Broughton Street has been impacted by “significant damage” caused by a water leak.
The building, located at 851 Broughton Street, was meant to be used by the City as a recreation space while the $209 million Crystal Pool replacement facility was constructed in Central Park.
This water leak may cause this plan to be altered, but the City has yet to verify what the impact will be.
The YMCA-YWCA building was vacated in March, and the City planned on moving in when the current Crystal Pool facility is demolished this fall.
Currently the YMCA-YWCA facility is unoccupied, since the organization moved its operations to the top floor of the Bay Centre in downtown Victoria when they vacated the premises.
While the extent of the damage has yet to be fully assessed, the City will be holding a press conference at city hall just after noon on Wednesday, June 17th to release more information on the situation.
More to come.
