Red Deer College Athletics is proud to announce our Boston Pizza Athletes of the Week.

1. Miranda Dawe – Queens Volleyball Hometown – Grande Prairie, Alberta Kinesiology and Sport Studies (4th year)

This past weekend, Miranda helped lead the RDC Queens Volleyball team to a pair of 3 set victories in Medicine Hat. Friday, the Kinesiology and Sport Studies student had 13 kills, 1 assist, 1 service ace, 12 digs and 1 stuff block. Saturday, Miranda picked up 13 kills, 2 service aces, 14 digs, 1 stuff block and helped the Queens win their 14th match in a row.

2. Tanner Butler – Kings Hockey Hometown – Souris, Manitoba Open Studies (3rd year)

Often in sports the offensive players get most of the credit, but defenceman Tanner Butler had a great weekend on the ice for the RDC Kings Hockey team. He provided leadership, played well defensively, helped lead the power play and scored a goal. The Kings picked up 4 points in the standings and Tanner played a large role. Friday, the RDC Kings defeated the Portage College Voyageurs 4-2 and Saturday the Kings won 6-2. Tanner helped quarterback the power play to a 2- for-3 success rate and scored 1 goal with the man advantage on Saturday.

Limited access to G.H. Dawe Community Centre this summer due to construction

Due to construction, access to the G.H. Dawe Community Centre will be limited this summer, with a full closure planned for August.

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.
