Winston Churchill Rec Centre to reopen Tuesday

CALGARY (660 NEWS) – Families looking for a place to go for a swim in Calgary will soon have another option.

The renovated Sir Winston Churchill Aquatic and Fitness Centre is slated to reopen on Tuesday.

The centre will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekends.

“We’re really excited to welcome back more customers,” said Sue Goulden with Calgary Recreation.

“Anyone who has used this facility in the past will notice a lot of upgrades throughout the building. The facility has a new look and atmosphere that will enhance the overall customer experience.”

Like all other city rec facilities, you will have to follow provincial rules from the government’s Stage 2 relaunch plan.

Capacity limits will also be in place to ensure physical distancing requirements are being followed.

The centre closed last November for a planned renovation, which included the installation of a water slide.

This is the fifth city-operated aquatic centre to reopen in the past month after The Bob Bahan, Canyon Meadows, Glenmore, and Killarney Aquatic and Fitness Centres opened on July 10.

The city is also opening six additional ice sheets on Tuesday: Jimmie Condon Arena, Rose Kohn Arena, Max Bell Centre Ken Bracko Arena and Arena #2, Southland Leisure Ed Whalen Arena, and Joseph Kryczka Arena.
