UPDATE: THURSDAY JULY 23, 2026

Approximately two weeks after the June 15^th incident, the Technical Safety BC investigative team released the affected area back to Cultus Lake Waterpark, allowing us to begin preparations for a phased reopening. While Technical Safety BC’s full investigation has not yet been released, they have advised that several variables are suspected to have contributed to the incident. These findings have been provided to us through non-compliance certificates and a comprehensive review of our entire facility ensuring similar conditions are not present elsewhere in the park.

This sitewide review of all electrical work and components includes verification of grounding and bonding, review of lighting installations, and metal railings and objects throughout the park. Assessments of our facility, underway in coordination with Technical Safety BC, WorkSafeBC, Fraser Health, and licensed contractors, have also been extended to other infrastructure throughout the park including natural gas, and chemical systems, as well as equipment and operating procedures. The assessment process is detailed and includes thorough inspections, testing, documentation, and corrective work where required.

To complete this work thoroughly and efficiently, we are focusing on specific areas of the park and completing all required reviews and corrections before reopening those areas to guests. Any area that reopens will do so only after receiving the necessary approvals from the applicable authorities, Technical Safety BC, WorkSafeBC, and Fraser Health.

As part of a phased reopening, hot tubs will remain temporarily closed. The inspection methods required for the pool structures are invasive and this will take time. Our priority is to complete the review and work needed for returning our waterslide attractions to service first. The hot tubs will remain out of service until their review can be completed.

We sincerely appreciate the patience and support shown by our guests, staff, and community. We remain committed to completing this work thoroughly and responsibly. Updates will be posted to our website as additional attractions are approved to reopen.

UPDATE: SATURDAY JUNE 27, 2026

Although we are targeting a reopening in the second half of July, tickets are not currently available.

We are continuing to work through the inspection and approval process with Technical Safety BC, and we understand that this process will take time. Once a reopening date, operating hours, and ticket options have been finalized, new tickets will be released for purchase. In the meantime, we have temporarily suspended all ticket sales and are issuing refunds to all ticket holders.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete the remaining inspections, repairs, and receive regulatory approvals.

UPDATE: FRIDAY JUNE 19, 2026

We understand there are many unanswered questions at this time and we hope these can be addressed as information becomes available. The investigation into this horrible incident is still in progress, we have confidence in the Technical Safety BC investigative team to determine the cause.

In addition to this, a site wide inspection is being conducted across the park to identify areas of concern. The steps being taken are critical to prevent an incident like this from happening again. We continue to cooperate and will respond accordingly as information is made available to us regarding the incident and onsite non-compliances.

Although non-compliances are not yet available to us, our understanding is we will receive these shortly. We do not know the full scope of work, and cannot confirm a specific reopening date. Adjustments to our targeted opening date will be made as needed to complete all requirements. We are refunding all tickets purchased for June and will put efforts towards being open in July pending successful completion of work, and all necessary approvals.

More information will be provided as it becomes known.

UPDATE: TUESDAY JUNE 16, 2026

Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to all the victims, their families and classmates who were affected by the electrical incident which occurred yesterday. As we are in the early stages of review, information is limited. Technical Safety BC is actively investigating the incident, and their findings will be reported. We are fully cooperating with all authorities as they complete this process.

At this time, we are not confirming a reopening date. Our immediate closure will continue to be extended and ongoing as needed to adequately complete all thorough reviews, and for us to address the findings and required actions. Cultus Lake Waterpark will not reopen until approval is given from WorkSafe BC, Technical Safety BC and Fraser Health.

This incident occurred at the bottom of our Zero to 60 waterslide attraction, past the end of the slide. Located there, is a steel frame tent structure with handrails. This structure is understood to be the object which victims came in contact with.

This incident was tragic and we are deeply upset by what these children experienced at our park.
