RDC Athletics has announced it’s Boston Pizza Athletes of the Week and both of them are Volleyball players this week.

Queens Volleyball player Miranda Dawe is a fourth year Kinesiology and Sports Studies student from Grande Prairie and helped the Queens defeat the Ambrose University Lions in 4 sets last Friday. She contributed 18 kills and 11 digs for the Queens and then on Saturday, she helped lead her Queens to a 3 set sweep over the Lions. Dawe accumulated 13 kills, 1 assist, 3 service aces, 5 digs and 1 block ion those matches.

The other Athlete of the Week is Kings Volleyball player is Regan Fathers. The third year Kinesiology and Sports Studies student from Australia helped lead the Kings to a weekend sweep of the Ambrose University Lions to finish off the first half of ACAC league play with a 10-2 record. Regan had 14 kills (4.67 kills/game) on only 18 attempts on Friday night in Ambrose with a hitting-efficiency of 56%. He added 2 stuff blocks and 5 digs and picked up the Kings player-of-the-game honours. On Saturday, he was even better from an efficiency perspective, picking up 13 kills on 19 attempts with only two attack errors (58% efficient). He added 1 ace, 2 blocks and 2 digs. Fathers leads the ACAC in kills per set and total kills, and he is a big reason why the Kings sit first in the ACAC South Division heading into the Christmas break.

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.
