A Dartmouth, N.S., library and community centre, which has been closed since March due to a water leak, will continue to be closed for months due to remediation work.

The Dartmouth North Community Centre and Dartmouth North Public Library at 105 Highfield Park Drive suffered “significant flood damage” on March 6, according to the Halifax Regional Municipality.

At the time of the leak, Halifax Public Libraries said the building would be closed for at least five days.

The municipality now says the site will remain closed for several months as the restoration work continues.

All parks and recreation summer programs that were scheduled to be held at the community centre will now be located at the Gerald B. Gray Arena or a nearby Halifax Regional Centre for Education school.

Halifax Public Libraries also plans to offer temporary service from a portable unit at the site. Additional details will be released in the coming weeks.
