Law and Orders Burgers in Pembroke and Petawawa are deepening their commitment to local charities. Jamie Law told myFM that Friends of the Kinsman Pool will receive a boost from an upcoming promotion.
On February 5, February 26, and March 19, every order whether placed online, by phone, or in person will benefit the charity when customers include the word “Pool” with their order.
At its January 5 2024, budget meeting, Pembroke City Council voted to close the aging pool due to structural safety concerns, liability issues, and the facility reaching the end of its useful life. In December 2023, council began exploring a public-private partnership to develop a new multi-use facility featuring a modern pool, ice pads, and additional recreational space.
The Friends of the Regional Pool (FRP) was created by Kim Poliacik the chair of the fundraiser and Megan Conway and 10 other pool enthusiasts, along with several others, including Jamie Law of Law and Orders who took it upon themselves to raise funds to fix the pool. Thanks to their tireless efforts the pool is back up and running for all to enjoy.
