Facilities Upgrade and Revitalization - CBSC Capital Campaign
It’s been one month since our last update when we announced that the facility upgrade is going ahead. Since then, we now have over 150 families contributing, and with your tremendous support, the capital campaign has reached its target of $1.2 million! This is truly incredible.
Now, it’s very important to us that all families who wish to participate in this legacy project have the opportunity to do so. And for this reason, we are still actively fundraising. All dollars raised over and above $1.2 million will go directly to project enhancements.
To give you an idea of where additional funds could be used, options include: enhancement of the pool upgrade, such as looking into higher efficiency & longer lasting mechanical equipment & filtration systems; or enhanced furnishings, lighting, and landscaping. The team may even look to incorporate some additional “green” elements such as solar panels. And of course, a larger contingency is always a good idea!
Thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign so far. Remember, as 2019 winds down, if you would like to increase your charitable donations, we are able to issue a full tax receipt. Please contact us and we would be happy to help.
To the families who have sent in their pledge form(s), it would be very helpful if you remembered your payment dates. Remember, e-transfers can be sent to treasurer@cbswimclub.ca and cheques can be mailed to: CBSC, Box 45020, Ocean Park PO, 12851 16th Ave, Surrey, BC, V4A 9L1.
Stay tuned for further developments and campaign news!
Sincerely,
The CBSC Capital Campaign Cabinet

THE FINE PRINT...
ONCE IN A CENTURY OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THE CBSC!
The CBSC Facilities Upgrade and Revitalization project has received overwhelming positive support. The plan honours the heritage and history of our club while upgrading and ensuring that the facilities will be adequate for our programs and sustainable for decades to come.
WHY ARE WE EMBARKING ON THIS SIGNIFICANT PROJECT?
After 60 years, it is time to undertake a major upgrade of our pools to ensure they last for future generations. The health & safety of our members is a top consideration, and the pools need upgrading to current standards to support our growing needs. The surrounding structures are inadequate and need replacing so that we can deliver our programs and continue our CBSC traditions. Escalating maintenance costs and potential pool failure are the main drivers of this project.
SCOPE OF WORK INCLUDES:
- Structural upgrades to the pool, including concrete and hydrostatic pressure work
- Consolidating and updating mechanical equipment
- Enhanced site drainage and improvement of water quality
- Site plan enhancements, including resurfacing and landscaping of the grounds
- New structures: clubhouse, multi-purpose pavilion, timing shack & mechanical building
- New furniture, bleachers, planters – incorporating CBSC legacy
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
- A completely revitalized & safe environment that will last for future generations
- A pool that meets health standards for public pools, and minimizes health risks
- Welcoming gathering spaces enabling classes and our CBSC families to enjoy the grounds
- Integration of tennis into the main club area, within the perimeter of our much-loved green fence
- The largest upgrade & enhancement project CBSC has ever undertaken
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE?
Construction crews will commence work in September 2020, with construction scheduled for completion by Summer 2021.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Consider supporting our CBSC community with a financial commitment to ensure these much needed upgrades happen. This type of improvement requires more than moral support. It requires families and individuals to provide financial support to ensure this much needed project proceeds and is completed on-time.
The funds may be pledged over 2 years (2019 and 2020) and are tax deductible. CBSC will also accept share contributions which offer the donor additional tax benefits. For more information on donating securities, please contact cabinet members: Geoff Funke (geoff.funke@scotiawealth.com) or Tannis Pratt (tpratt@odlumbrown.com).
