    By Tonya Organ

    The Corner Brook Rapids Swim Club has agreed to cover the remaining balance over $75,000.00. 

    At this week’s public meeting, Corner Brook City council approved slightly more than $100k to buy a score clock and timing system at the Marina Redmond Centre (MRC). Councillor Bill Griffin says this is needed to be able to host swim meets, including the upcoming 2026 NL Games.  The City had budgeted $75,000.00 within the budget for furnishing the MRC for the purpose. Three quotes have been obtained with the lowest quote being provided by DB Perks & Associates Ltd. in the amount of $100,335.00 plus HST and shipping. The Corner Brook Rapids Swim Club has agreed to cover the remaining balance over $75,000.00.  The $25M centre opened in May and was named in memory of former city clerk Marina Redmond.
