Phenomenal Size and Talent – ASDC Male Athlete of the Month Adam Fort
The Alberta Sport Development Centre – Central (ASDC-C) is pleased to announce that the ASDC-Central Male Athlete of the Month for May 2017 is Adam Fort.
Adam Fort, is a 14 year old Red Deer resident, a Grade 9 student at Hunting Hills High School (HHHS) and is active competitively in the sports of football and rugby. As a football athlete, Adam competes with the HHHS Lightning, and in this his final year in HHHS Lightning Bantam Football was named a Central Football League All-Star and the HHHS Lineman of the Year. Adam’s football goal is to make the HHHS Senior team next season as a Grade 10 athlete.
As a Rugby athlete Adam (plays the ‘prop’ position) also competes as a member of the Red Deer Titans Rugby Club 15U team (he’s too young to play with HHHS Rugby). Last season with the Titans, Adam led his team to an undefeated regular season capturing their 2nd consecutive league championship. Adam was then selected to Alberta Rugby Union’s (ARU) 16U Central Alberta Elite team. This coming Rugby season Adam aspires to lead his 15U Titans team to a Provincial Championship and represent the Titans as a member of Central Alberta Elite squad and the ARU 16U Provincial Team.

Adam’s athletic gifts and desire to excel in everything he does, combined with his training/education experiences with ASDC-Central (and the Titans Rugby Club’s School of Rugby) will only see him continue to grow and develop in his sporting career!
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.
