End of Summer Facility Closure & Staff Break
Each year, in order to maintain our excellent water quality, we close the pool at the end of August to drain and refill it. Continuing the tradition from last summer, this year we will be utilizing this period to provide our staff with a well-deserved break by fully shutting down the center. The NECC facility will be closed from August 28th to September 4th.

Thank you for your support as we strive to maintain our exceptional facility and ensure the welfare of our staff!
Thank you, Fleur de Lis!
Thank you to one of our amazing Community Investors, Fleur de Lis! With your donation, we will be able to make sure all our participants are able to fully participate in our programs.

Swim Competitively this Summer!
We still have spots available in our summer swim club and some of the advanced swim levels.

Our summer Swim Club is a fun-tastic opportunity for your young swim enthusiasts who are itching to get in the pool this summer, make new friends, and have the opportunity to compete in swim meets!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our friendly Front Desk.

Meet the NECC Staff!
We are delighted to welcome one of our newest staff members, Adrianna! As a skilled lifeguard and swim instructor, Adrianna brings a wealth of experience to the NECC community.

When she's not working the water, Adrianna finds joy in book hunting at local libraries and spending time with her furry cat companion, Teeny. And now, as summer approaches, she can't wait to make apple cider with her grandparents and partner. Welcome, Adrianna!

Celebrating our Village Volunteers
The Northeast Village recently honored the amazing 95 Village Volunteers who make the NEV and all of its work possible.

The event, held at the Historic Alberta House, was a fun festivity full of tasty food and friends celebrating each other's volunteer work. Volunteers support their fellow villagers in many different ways: from transportation and tech support to yard maintenance and administration.

Thank you for all you do, Village Volunteers!
