Although the new waterslide at the Sundre Aquaplex has been available to the public for a couple of months, the official unveiling presentation was held Friday, May 3.
From left, Réal Turgeon, manager of the Sundre Aquaplex; Joe Bowhay, a director of Federated Co-operatives Limited; and Leona Bennett, who sits on the Sundre and District Aquatic Society’s board, addressed a few dozen people during an invitation-only ribbon-cutting ceremony for the indoor pool’s new waterslide that was made possible largely because of a $100,000 donation from FCL.
Bowhay said the organization’s vision is to build sustainable communities through partnerships, and added the Community Spaces program, which started in 2015, has since donated more than $6.5 million to 88 projects across Western Canada.
“It’s projects like this where you enrich people’s lives by inspiring a healthy and active lifestyle that are a wonderful fit for FCL to support,” he said.
