In collaboration with local schools and AHS, Park Valley Pool will be open for school organized, cohort swimming lessons beginning Mon., Jan. 25.
The pool will remain closed to the general public until further notice from the Province.
Park Valley Pool staff have been working with AHS to find a way to allow the facility to open to some degree while still operating within the current restrictions from the Province. Staff remain committed to upholding the high standards of cleanliness that are expected by both the public and AHS.
Recognizing the positive impacts that recreation and exercise can have on children, we are very excited to welcome students back to the facility!
We understand that this is very frustrating for our regular users and families; we hope to be able to open the facility fully and welcome everyone back for regular programming and lessons soon.
You have no idea how excited the kids are to be able to do some sort of Normal school fun....thanks for letting them come
and here I thought "we were all in this together?" Do kids not catch or spread Covid?? How come physical fitness and recreation is only important for children. Many of us have paid a year in advance to use these facilities, and have been shut out or pushed aside.
What about homeschooling families? Are we able to form cohorts for swimming lessons as well?
Why is the town not pushing for all to be open??? If you can have groups at the pool why can’t 1 person book a time at a gym? This makes no sense how they pick and choice what is open and to who gets to use it.

I am very interested in daytime homeschool swim times. Hopefully you have information soon. Jessica-Dean Dusterhoft -maybe we can go swimming soon!

Lift the restrictions!
It's a start, good job getting them to allow school sports.
Will the pool be offering any kind of extension on the 1 year family passes due to the facility closures?
There is still no new pool? What about the $10M which was donated by an oil company to build one?
With the snow we received over night crews will be out sanding the roads and clearing sidewalks to make sure we can all get around safely.

Mask requirements are now in effect. Find out how to choose and wear a non-medical mask to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.Where is our yellow bellied lily livered coward of a premier to tell us albertans that they lied when they said 2 weeks but they really meant until they deem fit! Need to start hurting them were it counts. Everyone that can should home school. Everyone that has a business do like Italy and Poland and open up baby people will support you. It’s time we stand and stretch our backs and ruin their game of monopoly
If they are going to continue with a lock down then make it a true lock down. ALL business closed for two weeks. Every one stays home for two weeks. It’s ridiculous that small business and individuals are loosing their companies, homes and more while WalMart, Costco and malls can be open! I vote open it all up since your BS part lock downs aren’t doing anything but killing small business and hurting hard working families. My boyfriend already moved out of Alberta and I will be following as soon as my kids are ready. (I was born and raised to be a proud Albertan - this is not my Alberta)
This mask bullshit is a joke and a money grab thats all it is

Yesterday, during the Regular Meeting of Council, Town Council passed Land Use Bylaw 2020/12/D (LUB).
What is the LUB?
• Every Municipality in Alberta is legally required to pass a Land Use Bylaw (LUB) which regulates the use, conservation, and development of land, habitat, buildings, and signs in pursuit of orderly development within Town boundaries.
• The LUB sets the process for applying for a Development Permit, Development Permit issuance and Development Permit approval, and appeal of Development Permit decisions.
• The LUB sets parameters for Development Permit conditions, enforcement for non-compliance with the LUB, and Development Permit conditions.
Why we repealed/replaced former LUB 2007/24/D:
Much has changed since the previous LUB was adopted in 2007, including annexations in 2011 and 2012 and changes to the local economy which meant that it no longer met the needs of our community.
• The previous LUB was not user-friendly for the development community or Town Administration.
• Regulations of the LUB had to be updated to comply with recent legislative changes.
Changes to the LUB since First Reading
Since First Reading, the LUB was circulated to relevant commenting agencies (Brazeau County, Alberta Municipal Affairs, Alberta Environment and Parks, etc.) and the Town’s legal counsel. Changes include:
• Additional clarity regarding Stop Orders (an order made if/when development does not comply with the regulations of the LUB or a condition of a Development Permit, variances from regulations, deemed Development Permit refusals, Development Permit extensions, or Securities.
• Updated height and density regulations in various land use districts to provide greater certainty for the development community.
• Minor grammatical changes.

Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw Review - Drayton Valley
www.draytonvalley.ca
Project Background The Town of Drayton Valley has engaged ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. to undertake a comprehensive review and update of the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Land Use Byl...Christmas Tree Drop-Off!
Drop off your live trees for recycling at our designated area next to the rodeo grounds at the Omniplex! All decorations must be removed. Trees can be dropped off until January 31st, 2021! Trees will be recycled and used as mulch as part of the Town's Landscape Management Program.
2021 RCMP POLICING SURVEY
The RCMP is committed to preserving the peace, upholding the law and providing quality service in partnership with the communities it serves.
Brazeau County, the Town of Drayton Valley, and Parkland County have partnered with the RCMP to conduct this brief survey to ensure that RCMP priorities align with those of the public.
This survey will remain open until February 8, 2021. The survey can be taken online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/8J8LJVD
Surveys can also be printed at www.draytonvalley.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/2021-Policing-Survey.pdf and dropped off at various locations.
Construction of the new Aquatic Facility is scheduled to start this spring! To date, the site has been cleared and the necessary survey, ground testing and water demand tests have been completed. Mechanical equipment for the pool has been secured, and the permitting process is underway.
The new pool design includes a 25 metre, 8 lane lap pool that will be deep enough for safe diving! This new pool will also be dimensioned and outfitted to suit regional and Canadian competitions standards with a large viewing area. The leisure pool, which will have a lazy river and multiple spray features, will be warm enough for small child comfort! In addition to the two pools, this new recreational facility will also have a multi-purpose room, steam room, hot tub, family change room, as well as gender specific change rooms. (*Please note that some features pictured, including the climbing wall and slide will be future additions to the pool).
We are excited to see this project get underway this spring! For more information, visit www.draytonvalley.ca/drayton-valley-aquatic-facility/ or call the Town at 780-514-2200.
