RDC Athletes Of The Week Announced!
Red Deer College Athletics is proud to announce our Boston Pizza Athletes of the Week.
1. Marla Sherrer – RDC Women’s Curling Hometown – Lacombe, AB Occupational Therapist & Physiotherapist Assistant (3rd year)
Marla Sherrer led the RDC Women’s Curling team to a 3-2 record at the Winter Regional with some great shot making. Combined with a 3-2 record at the Fall Regional, the women’s 6-4 record was good for 2nd spot overall. She had a great game to lead the team to an opening win over MacEwan University. Sherrer saved her best game for a win over 1st place Concordia that clinched a spot in the ACAC Championships for the women’s team. Sherrer has improved her game to the point where she can compete with any of the skips in the league.
2. Andrew Jones – RDC Mixed Curling team Hometown – Ponoka, AB Business Administration – General (1st year)
Andrew Jones led the RDC Mixed Curling team to a 4-3 record at Winter Regionals and an overall 10-4 record. The team finished 3rd in a highly competitive mixed division and advance to the ACAC Championships. This is Andrew’s 1st year with the team but he has already developed into a leader. His calm demeanor and positive attitude have played a huge part in the success of the team. He is one of the hardest workers on the team and has developed into one of the top 2nds in the mixed division.

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.
