Cole Harbour Place closed saunas for safety, behavior issues

Cole Harbour Place has permanently closed its saunas due to safety concerns and reports of inappropriate behavior. The decision was made this week following a pattern of incidents. The closure comes after multiple medical emergencies related to overheating and passing out in the saunas, along with reports of inappropriate behavior. The facility cited fire risks from water being poured on heating elements. The recreation center is offering refunds or payment adjustments to members who considered sauna access a key part of their membership. The saunas were located in the change rooms.
