        "alt": "Public Notice: Permanent Closure of Facility Saunas\nWe regret to inform our members and patrons that, effective immediately, both dry saunas located in the men’s and women’s 18+ change rooms will be permanently closed.\n\nOver the past several months, we have faced ongoing and increasingly serious safety and behavioral issues related to sauna use. After careful review, the decision has now been made to close the saunas permanently in the interest of safety.\n\nThe following issues have contributed to this decision:\n\nMedical Emergencies: Staff and lifeguards are frequently required to respond to individuals experiencing overheating or other medical issues related to sauna use.\nIntentional Misuse of Equipment: The continued application of water and other liquids to the dry sauna heating elements poses significant fire and respiratory hazards to both patrons and staff.\nOngoing Non-Compliance with Rules: Despite clearly posted signage and repeated reminders, patrons continue to disregard established safety guidelines.\nSexual Misconduct: We have received multiple reports of sexually inappropriate behavior occurring in the saunas. These incidents are part of a concerning and ongoing pattern.\n\nDue to the repeated and serious nature of these incidents—and the fact that the sauna areas are not located in spaces that can be constantly supervised—we believe this permanent closure is necessary to maintain a safe environment for all facility users.",
