<strong>Beaverlodge</strong> is a <strong>Town</strong> where BIG news spreads fast and<br />
so do the questions surrounding our new pool.<br />
We Heard You And Here Are The Top Q&A’s!<br />
1. How much is the pool going to cost?<br />
In total, the project will cost $11.5M. This will include<br />
the pool, hot tub, fitness centre including walking track<br />
and upstairs meetings rooms. As well, the community<br />
centre will be tied into the new complex by opening up<br />
the east end <strong>of</strong> the building and removing the two<br />
storage rooms.<br />
Community Centre<br />
2. How are we paying for this?<br />
This project is made possible through the cooperation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> and the County <strong>of</strong> Grande Prairie. The<br />
County is contributing $5M to the project. The town is<br />
paying the remaining amount including approximately<br />
$1.3M in grants and $1M through donations, corporate<br />
sponsorships and fundraising.<br />
3. Is any <strong>of</strong> this accessible to people with<br />
disabilities?<br />
The whole complex will be accessible to people with<br />
disabilities. Change rooms will include wheelchair<br />
accessible showers and change tables. The leisure pool<br />
is designed with a zero entrance where the pool slopes<br />
gently down from the deck with no stairs or lips. The<br />
lane pool and hot tub will be accessible through a lift.<br />
The fitness centre and basement can be accessed from<br />
the elevator and the fitness centre will include<br />
handicap accessible fitness equipment.<br />

4. Will property taxes go up to pay for the<br />
pool?<br />
Each year Council and staff carefully consider needs <strong>of</strong><br />
the community in order to provide for a balanced and<br />
sustainable community including providing for safe<br />
roads, water treatment, recreation, and economic<br />
development. Taxes may fluctuate at any time<br />
depending on a number <strong>of</strong> things. These include<br />
increased assessment through growth and new<br />
development, availability <strong>of</strong> grants and transfer funding<br />
from provincial and federal governments, as well as<br />
what other projects or work is considered necessary at<br />
any given time. Changes in taxes are attributed to<br />
many factors, not just one project.<br />
Conceptual drawing <strong>of</strong> the pool. Hot Tub (not shown) will be located<br />
in the corner next to the splash pool.<br />
5. Will it have a hot tub? Diving Board?<br />
The pool complex will include a lane pool with diving<br />
board, a leisure pool and a hot tub.<br />
The lane pool will have five lanes, with a shallow end <strong>of</strong><br />
1.1. meters and a deep end <strong>of</strong> 3.6 meters. The lane<br />
pool has been designed to meet the provincial<br />
standards for race meets.<br />
The leisure pool includes a “lazy river”, an area <strong>of</strong><br />
current for floating down. The Lazy River is also good<br />
for walking against the current for exercise and/or<br />
therapeutic reasons.<br />
6. When will the Fitness Centre Open?<br />
The Fitness Centre will be open with the pool in May,<br />
2012. This is located on the second floor <strong>of</strong> the new<br />
complex above the dressing room area and overlooking<br />
the pools. The fitness centre will include a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
fitness equipment.<br />
7. When will the new pool open?<br />
The opening <strong>of</strong> the pool is tentatively scheduled for<br />
May, 2012. With a Celebration to commemorate the<br />
grand opening!<br />

Facility Highlight <strong>of</strong> the Month<br />
Our Featured Facility highlight <strong>of</strong> the month is<br />
the Hot Tub!<br />
Water has been used throughout history to s<strong>of</strong>tly<br />
massage certain areas <strong>of</strong> the body in order to relax<br />
nerves and relieve aches and pains. The use <strong>of</strong> water in<br />
the form <strong>of</strong> a hot tub increases blood flow, relieves stress<br />
and alleviates aches and pains caused by sore muscles.<br />
Water has the ability to relieve stress and rejuvenate a<br />
tired, worn out body back to its original state. In addition,<br />
it also calms the lungs, heart, endocrine system and<br />
stomach. It performs these functions by stimulating<br />
certain parts <strong>of</strong> the body, mainly the spinal cord. Many<br />
individuals have resorted to using hot tubs in order to<br />
relieve the stress and tension they feel during the day.<br />
The massaging motions <strong>of</strong>fered by hot tubs especially<br />
help relieve headaches, stress and tension. Individuals<br />
with heart problems or lung problems are not advised to<br />
use this type <strong>of</strong> therapy.<br />
<strong>For</strong> more information on the benefits <strong>of</strong> a hot tub check<br />
