Important Announcement
On October 2nd, 2024 we announced we will be closing our main facility on 33rd Street NW in Calgary later in 2025 and relocating our offices. This has been a difficult yet responsible decision to ensure the viability of the organization as our building is past its lifespan and continues to require increasingly costly repairs.
Unfortunately, this closure means our aquatics and fitness programs will close permanently at the end of June 2025. The adjoining bottle depot will cease operations in Fall 2025, at which time the main building’s administrative staff will also vacate the premises.
We need your support more than ever. We encourage you to continue to use our programs and services at our facility and bring your bottles to our bottle depot until then.
