AQUATIC FACILITY
During the Regular Meeting of Council on May 6th, Council passed the final Budget for 2020. Included in the Budget was Council’s commitment to a new Aquatic Facility in Drayton Valley!
Following the completion of the Validation Report in early 2020, Town Council established a firm commitment to the construction of a new Aquatic Facility by committing $5 million to the project, as well as the active pursuit of grant funding through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) in the amount of approximately $7.5 million. Brazeau County Council has also passed a motion to contribute $5 million to help fund the project. The Validation Report details the facility’s concept options, architect design narratives, and mechanical and interior design, as well as certainties surrounding metrics and anticipated expenditures. Undertaking capital projects of this nature enhances the quality of life for residents and is an important investment in the community. Construction is estimated to proceed as early as summer 2020, based on the timing and receipt of grant funding!

COVID-19 UPDATE | MAY 27th, 2020
Today Dr. Deena Hinshaw provided an update on COVID-19 in Alberta, stating that there are currently 679 active cases of COVID-19 in Alberta, which is the lowest number since March 30th, 2020.
In the last 24 hours there have been 25 new cases of COVID-19 identified and to date there have been 6,926 cases in Alberta. Dr. Hinshaw re-iterated the importance of taking care of one another and practising good hygiene, and that although cases numbers are decreasing, COVID-19 will be with us for many months and is still a deadly disease.
In addition, Dr. Hinshaw reported on a rare new condition that has emerged in some adolescents and children, called Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MISC), which appears to be related to COVID-19 infection. She also addressed the potential of Edmonton being a hub city for the 2020 NHL playoffs and stated that guidelines are being developed to ensure the safety of everyone involved should Edmonton be chosen as a hub city.

During the Regular Meeting of Council on May 6th, Council passed the final Budget for 2020. Included in the Budget were capital projects to be undertaken or completed in the 2020 season!
Following the approval of the Interim Budget in December 2019, capital projects were selected and put out for tender in January of 2020 to ensure competitive bidding and pricing. Since that time, mandated restrictions by both the provincial and federal governments, as well as continued economic uncertainties prompted Town Council to take an innovative approach to capital planning in a manner that puts emphasis on local resources for additional capital projects. $2 million has been invested from municipal reserves to help “Get Drayton Valley Back to Work!
Projects on this year’s capital project list include:
• Rehabilitation of the Ring Road
• Addition of a walking path at Sunrise Pond
• Improvements to 50th Ave and 43rd St
• Pump Track
• Completion of South Sanitary Trunk Twinning
• Completion of work at 62 Street (RR75) from 56 Ave to the Town Boundary
To view the Budget in full, visit www.draytonvalley.ca/budget-2020/
I think the pump track should be postponed. And the new liesure center pushed through
Why is the new pool not on the list? When will we find out about the grant money?

Mr. MacKenzie passed away over the weekend, but his impact in Drayton Valley will not soon be forgotten.
Mr. MacKenzie was an integral part of Drayton Valley – a true legend in our community. Without his vision, and selfless contributions, Drayton Valley would not be the town it is today. He and his wife’s generous donation brought to life the MacKenzie Conference Centre, – a venue, named after him, that hosts a multitude of events each year and truly elevates the community experience in Drayton Valley. Mr. MacKenzie was also essential in the development of the OMNI 1 arena, which he would frequent almost daily to volunteer both his time and expertise, helping developers make this facility a reality. He was a founding member of the Drayton Valley Thunder, a staple in our community, and helped the sport of hockey reach many families. Another generous donation also saw the realization of the indoor track at the Omniplex, which has likely seen over a million laps since its opening!
It is without a doubt that Mr. John Mackenzie was a pillar in Drayton Valley - an instrumental part of many of the public facilities we enjoy today. A true advocate for his community, and an inspiration to those around him, Mr. MacKenzie embodied what it meant to be part of your community.
On behalf of Mayor Doerksen, Town Council, and Administration, we offer our deepest condolences to Mr. MacKenzie’s family and friends. We are humbled and ever grateful for the generosity and contributions he made to Drayton Valley throughout his life. His spirit will not soon be forgotten.
