It's a common mantra for any mega project -- "on time and on budget."
That's how Randy Cleveland described progress on the $46.3 million Mission Aquatic Centre. To date, $35.4 million has been spent on the project.
During a presentation to City Council, Cleveland said the pool was still scheduled for completion in February, 2009.
Cleveland also indicated four major additions have been made to the project including a public transit exchange, enhanced public balcony, more east-view glazing in fitness studio and a $100,000 public art proposal for the exterior of the facility.
Cleveland adds the entire Mission Recreation facility will soon become a significant recreational park.
"Twinning of the CNC, the addition of a community centre and two quad softball fields are not yet done. Outside of that, the entire recreation park is already nearly at full build-out with 15 fields and three major facilities on the site."
The aquatic centre includes an Olympic size 50 metre pool, 2,200 square metre water park and 930 square metre fitness centre.
