Help shape the future of fitness at the Dawe

Published

2 minute read

Red Deerians, we need your help in shaping how fitness programs are delivered at the new G.H. Dawe Community Centre.When it opens in early 2023, the new G.H. Dawe Community Centre will see many upgrades, including:

  • Two NHL standard ice surfaces
  • Expanded fitness area, including a track and two fitness studios
  • Outdoor spray park with washroom facilities
  • Fully accessible change space
  • Pool deck party room
  • Dedicated preschool washrooms
  • Additional north entrance + site access from 67 Street
  • Additional parking

The addition of new fitness amenities and spaces brings an opportunity for new programs and services, and we want them to reflect the needs of the community. Residents are invited to share their ideas and suggestions for use of these fitness spaces through an online ideas wall and short survey: https://reddeer.mysocialpinpoint.ca/dawe

“While the design and layout of the spaces are finalized, we are now working to develop programs and services for these new fitness amenities,” said Barb McKee, Recreation Superintendent. “We want our programs to reflect the needs of the community, so it’s important that we understand the experience and outcomes Red Deerians want from fitness programs at the new G.H. Dawe Community Centre.”

Feedback will be collected until November 29. A report back to the community will be available in early 2022 to share what we heard and how the feedback was used.

With the exception of the arena spaces, the G.H. Dawe Community Centre remains open during construction. Both drop-in and registered programs continue to be available. Facility information, including schedules, are available here.

Plan Ahead: Voting May Take a Little Longer This Election Day

Published on

News release from the City of Red Deer

Voters are encouraged to plan their vote and allow a little extra time at the polls this Election Day, Monday, October 20.

Because this year’s election uses Alberta’s new Permanent Elector Registry, voting may take slightly longer than in previous years. Municipalities are required to provide updated voter information back to the province after the election. As a result, many voters will be asked to complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13) at the voting station — even if they are already registered to vote. This ensures that voter information is accurate and up to date. Once the registry information has been updated, all forms are securely shredded.

Additionally, the Permanent Elector Registry is not shared with local school boards, so anyone voting for a School Board Trustee must also complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13).

We appreciate voters’ patience as our election teams work to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot accurately and securely. Once the voting process begins, most voters complete their vote in about 10 minutes.

To help avoid lineups, voters can visit Red Deer Elections website to check real-time wait times at each voting station and choose the location with the shortest line.

Anyone who arrives at a polling station and joins a line before 8 p.m. will be able to vote.

Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to make your voice heard in Red Deer’s 2025 Municipal and School Board Election.
