History
The Melita and Area New Pool Committee was formally organized in 2004. This
committee surveyed the community to gather input from local citizens. The results ofthe survey and discussions indicated that the area, curling rink and pool should consolidate efforts to develop a multiple use facility. The cost and time frame required to complete such a large project was more than the Committee was prepared to do all at once. Thus, it was decided to consider the project in phases. Phase 1 concluded with the completion of the new pool which opened in the summer of 2008. Follow the Enns Brothers Place on Facebook.
