Due to recent vandalism at our new skating rink we have unfortunately pulled the nets out for repairs. We ask that moving forward if you witness any illegal or improper use of this amenity to please report it to the RCMP 403-947-3496. We are now in the process of researching surveillance equipment to hopefully deter any further issues. Please share the importance of small town amenities with your friends and families so that we can continue to bring more recreation opportunities to Town.

Get ready to splash around this summer! Council and staff have finalized plans and secured funding for the new and improved Lions Splash Park. We really appreciate everyone who came out to the open house, to council meetings or sent in opinions regarding location and design options. Construction is scheduled to begin once the ground thaws in spring 2018. It has been decided that the location will remain the same to ensure adequate and safe parking as well as fully utilizing the recreation area along Henricks drive. This design concept allows us to add/remove features as we see growth or need down the road. Can't wait to see you all out there this summer!
