Yukoners who had been looking forward to experiencing a new Takhini Hot Springs will have to wait a few more months.
While Takhini Hot Springs president Garry Umbrich had previously said officials were aiming for an early 2021 opening of the new facility, which is being built to offer more of a spa experience, it’s now anticipated the facility won’t open until June.
In a brief email, Umbrich explained there were issues with getting supplies due to COVID-19. He noted that provided things go as planned, officials are now eyeing a mid-June opening.
The former 50-year-old hot springs pool closed in September as construction was underway on the new facility that will feature a series of smaller pools for soaking and a number of spa amenities.
