Interest in TDSB Swimming Pools

On April 30, 2025, the Finance, Budget, and Enrollment Committee (FBEC) of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) reviewed staff recommendations concerning the future of the 66 swimming pools owned and operated by the Board.

The TDSB recognized the challenges of maintaining its pools under the current model. These challenges include the lack of provincial funding for pool facilities, the high costs of renewing aging pools, and ensuring equitable access to programming.

On May 21, the full Board of Trustees will consider a recommendation adopted by the FBEC. This recommendation requests that the CEO of the Toronto Lands Corporation (TLC) explore innovative opportunities to achieve cost recovery for as many pools as possible through agreements with third parties. This will apply to any pool locations not required under any agreement with the City of Toronto by May 31.

In anticipation of this formal request from the Board, TLC has started gathering information from current and potential pool operators interested in future leasing agreements for TDSB pools. TLC will reach out to those who submit information should the TDSB Board of Trustees direct further action.
