ASDC Athlete of the Month Signs With Iowa Western
The Alberta Sport Development Centre – Central (ASDC-C) is pleased to announce that the ASDC-Central Athlete of the Month for June 2017 is Tyla Lee.
Tyla Lee is a 17 year old Red Deer resident, and Grade 12 student and recent graduate of Notre Dame High School in Red Deer and a competitive softball athlete. Tyla is currently a shortstop (with some 3rd base duties) with the Lloydminster Liners 18U “A” team, and competes with her team in the Girls Prairie Softball League (GPLS).
Tyla played most of her softball with the Red Deer Rage where she has been a GPLS All-Star catcher/shortstop every year she has played. Additionally, Tyla captured a Provincial Championship with the Rage 16U ‘A’ team for two consecutive years and a 3rd consecutive year capturing an 18U Provincial Championship with the Liners last season.
Tyla was recently named to Alberta’s 2017 Jeux Canada Games Softball Team and will compete in Winnipeg this summer, with her teammate and sister Jade Lee. At 17 years of age Tyla will be the youngest member of Team Alberta at the Canada Games competition (Canada Games is 21U competition).
Tyla will attend school and play softball with the Reivers at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Iowa this fall. Tyla follows her sister Jade to Iowa Western where Jade was named a two-time Academic All-Region XI 1st Team student-athlete, two-time All-Region First Team, Region XI Defensive Player of the Year and NFCA/NJCAA 3rd Team All-American in Softball.
With Tyla’s strong work ethic, her undeniable athletic abilities and her training experiences with ASDC-Central she will surely continue to grow and develop in her sporting career! We at ASDC-Central wish Tyla much success at Canada Games and at college this year! ASDC-Central thanks Tom Bast Sports for celebrating the ASDC-Central Athlete of the Month recipients by the provision of commemorative apparel for each recipient.

Access to Dawe Centre pool and community centre affected by expansion project – Details
Limited access to G.H. Dawe Community Centre this summer due to construction
As announced yesterday, City recreation centres are opening fully to the public as of July 1. With construction underway at the G.H. Dawe Community Centre, only limited services and areas will be available.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Starting July 2, fitness and gym areas will open from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., daily. In July, summer day camps that normally operate from the Dawe will operate from other facilities.
- The pool will remain closed until September.
- To accommodate interior heating and ventilation construction, the facility will fully close from July 26 to August 31. Some registered preschool and summer camp programming may proceed, but no rental or general admission options will be available.
- On September 1, we anticipate the pool will be open, but some other amenities, like the gym, may not be available. More information will be provided as construction progresses.
- Playing surfaces in the arena will not be available until construction is complete, which is expected to be early 2023.
We are currently offering a discounted monthly Value Pass for $27 for adults ($24.50 for seniors; $21.90 for students; $19.30 for youth; $14.20 for children, and $60.50 for a family. It provides unlimited access to all facilities. As of August the Value Pass will only provide access to the Recreation Centre and Michener Aquatic Centre; however, access to the Dawe will be included in the Value pass until the pool, gym and fitness areas are open.
About the G.H. Dawe Community Centre Project
Work is underway now on the G.H. Dawe Community Centre Project and some exciting changes are in store. We expect to welcome visitors to the transformed space in early 2023. Here’s just some of what you can expect:
- Two NHL standard playing surfaces
- Expanded fitness areas, including a running track
- Outdoor spray park with washroom facilities
- Improved accessibility
- Additional north entrance + site access from 67 Street
- Additional parking
During construction, there will be some changes and impacts to existing amenities and programs, and we’ll do you best to share this information in advance. Thanks for your patience as we complete this work.
