It was a busy weekend for RDC Athletes over the past few days. At the Fox Meadow Golf & Country Club in Stratford, Prince Edward Island, the RDC Golf teams competed amongst the best at the National Championship. The Women’s Golf team finished 9th while the Men’s team finished in 13th place. Individually Shaye Leidenius finished tied for 7th while Cole Morrison finished 20th.

RDC Golf Coach Jeff Willmer was proud of the team’s efforts, saying “The team played well considering the cold, windy and rainy weather, RDC had great representation this week.” The golf season however is now complete for another year.

Elsewhere, The RDC Kings Hockey team tied the SAIT Trojans with one second left in the third period at the Penhold Multi-plex on Friday night but eventually lost 4-3 in overtime. Dustin Gorgi had a pair of goals for the Kings, while Zak Hicks added a single. SAIT defeated the Kings again on Saturday, 6-1. Of note, Scott Ferguson of the Kings scored his first ACAC goal.

Meanwhile, the Queens Hockey team defeated the Olds College Broncos 4-2 on Saturday. Jade Petrie, Keinyn Nordell, Rikki Smith and Jessica Anderson scored for RDC.

On Saturday it was another three set sweep over the Kodiaks with the Kings winning 25-19, 25-11 and 25-19. This means the RDC Kings Volleyball team remains perfect on the season so far.

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.
