The aging Pan Am Pool will get a whole new bulkhead for the 2017 Canada Games, the host society announced on Tuesday.

The upgrade is one of a series of facility investments the games plans to make, part of a physical legacy that organizers say could be worth $24-million.

The Pan Am investment will replace the pool’s original 1967 bulkhead. Other existing facility investments are expected to be finalized over the next year.
