When Thunder Roars, Move Indoors!
We want you and your family safe during thunderstorms!
Due to its random and unpredictable nature, preparedness and quick responses are the best defenses towards the lightning hazard.
Swimming pools are connected to a much larger surface area via underground water pipes, gas lines, electric and telephone wiring, etc.
Lightning strikes to the ground anywhere on this metallic network may induce shocks elsewhere. And where there's thunder, there is lightning!
So WHEN THUNDER ROARS, GO INDOORS!
Aquatics staff must have a 30 minute continuous all clear before operations can resume. Please keep an eye out for signage posted by Guest Services for any ongoing weather advisories.

Celebrating Water Safety
For the month of June we will be holding a colouring contest for kids up to the age of 12.
Stop by the table by Guest Services to get your colour sheets. Return your completed sheet by June 30 to be entered into the draw for a free Abbey Centre Child's punch pass.
Be sure to write your name, age and phone number on the back of your colour sheet.
Good luck to all our participants!

The love of swimming starts here
The benefits of swimming are endless, and your child should learn to swim as early as possible. Making sure that your child is comfortable in and around water is essential to their safety.
The McKay Ranch Aquatic Centre offers certified Red Cross swim lessons that can help improve kids' overall physical and mental health. Hopefully, they will fall in love with the sport and lap it up for years. Register your kids to guarantee your spot today!
Visit the
www.blackfalds.com/abbeycentre and click on the
