Saanich’s Commonwealth Place was been shut down on Thursday morning due to a power outage.
The recreation centre on Elk Lake Drive was closed just before 11 a.m. following an unexpected power failure.
Power was quickly restored and according to a tweet from Saanich Parks, Recreation and Community Services, the facility reopened about 40 minutes later.
The Tot Pool, however, will remain closed for the rest of the day for unspecified reasons.
