THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

The old Elmira pool, idle since the opening of the Woolwich Memorial Centre in 2009, will once again be filled with aquatic activities: it’s to be the new home of the Waterloo Regional Synchronized Swimming Club (WRSSC). In a deal that closes May 30, the organization has purchased the building from Woolwich Township for $450,000. It plans to be operating in Elmira by Sept. 1.
