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.

County of Grande Prairie expands evacuation order as B.C. wildfire spreads into Alberta
The County of Grande Prairie expanded its evacuation order, as a wildfire that ignited in British Columbia has crossed into Alberta as of Friday afternoon. The Kiskatinaw River fire, which started just west of the Alberta-B.C. border, entered Alberta as of 1:06 p.m. MT Friday, according to the Alberta Emergency Alert website. According to the B.C. Wildfire Service map, the fire was discovered May 28. The County of Grande Prairie, about 415 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, has been monitoring the fire, issuing its first evacuation alert on May 29. It upgraded that to an evacuation order Thursday, forcing some residents to leave their homes. Just before 8:45 p.m. Friday, the county expanded the area affected by the order. People living north of Township Road 700 to Township Road 740, and east of the border to Range 130, must evacuate their homes and report to the reception centre at the Hythe Community Library, at 10013 100th Street in Hythe, Alta., a hamlet within the county. An evacuation alert, meanwhile, is still in effect for residents east of Township Road 710, from range roads 124 to 130, and north along the border to Township Road 750, until Highway 43. The out-of-control wildfire spanned nearly 14,300 hectares around 8:15 p.m. MT Friday, the B.C. wildfire map shows. It triggered the Peace River Regional District in B.C. to issue three evacuation orders and two alerts, the service says.
