“We want to ensure we’re making a positive impact, both now and in the future. We are very proud to partner with the City of Grande Prairie through the Ready, Set, Go! event.”

The city adds the pool will close for an hour after the event so staff can reset the pool deck.

The aquatics area will then re-open at 6 p.m. for limited public swim times in the evening.
