RDC Announces Athletes Of The Week!
Red Deer College Athletics is proud to announce our Boston Pizza Athletes of the Week.
1. Dedra Janvier – RDC Queens Basketball Hometown – Cold Lake, AB Bachelor of Education – Elementary (5th year)
This past weekend, Dedra Janvier put up solid numbers and also helped the Queens on defence in a pair of games against the Briercrest College Clippers. Janvier provided the leadership and poise that the Queens needed on a tough road trip when they needed 2 wins. Friday, she helped lead the RDC Queens to a 68-57 victory. Janvier finished with 13 points, 3 steals, 4 rebounds and hit 4-of-9 shots from the field. Saturday, she was instrumental in an 82-52 win. Janvier contributed 12 points, 1 assist, 1 rebound and connected on 3-of-7 attempts from behind the 3 point line.
2. Matthew Lofgren– RDC Kings Volleyball Hometown – Kamloops, B.C. Open Studies (5th year)
While the RDC Kings have dealt with various injuries, Matt Lofgren is a player who has stepped up. Friday, Lofgren contributed 11 kills, 1 assist, 1 service ace, 1 stuff block and 7 digs as the RDC Kings Volleyball team defeated the Lethbridge College Kodiaks in 4 sets. He was also named the Kings player-of-the-game. Saturday, Lofgren helped lead the Kings to a 3 set victory. Lofgren contributed 5 kills, 1 service ace and 3 digs in another solid performance.

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.
