• sky lanterns;
• burn barrels or burn cages;
• binary exploding targets;

Council for City of Enderby has declared July 19-25 2026 as National Drowning Prevention Week in Enderby.

National Drowning Prevention Week is a Canada-wide initiative dedicated to raising awareness about water safety, reducing drowning incidents, and promoting lifesaving education and skills.

Drowning remains a significant public health concern and is one of the leading causes of preventable injury-related death. Through education and awareness, communities can help reduce the risk of drowning and encourage safer behaviours around water.

Enderby is thrilled to announce that the highly anticipated new outdoor pool officially welcomed its first swimmers on June 18, 2026, for a soft opening. A grand opening celebration date will be announced in the near future.

The new pool facility is already receiving rave feedback from early visitors. From the leisure pool with its lazy river to the beach entry area - which is proving perfect for parents and tots - the pool offers something for everyone. In addition to these highlights, the new outdoor pool features dedicated lap lanes and a modern change building.

Enderby's new outdoor pool was developed as a joint project between the City of Enderby and Electoral Area F of the Regional District of North Okanagan, with funding support from both the federal and provincial governments.

The project also benefited from incredible local contributions. The Enderby & District Lions Club donated towards the upcoming spray features, and the Enderby Legion Branch No. 98 provided a donation dedicated to the pool's accessibility features.

During the soft opening of the outdoor pool, the public is asked for extra patience as staff learn the operational nuances of the new amenities while providing service to what is expected to be record-breaking numbers of patrons.

"Our staff and lifeguards are eager to welcome everyone back to the water and into this incredible new space," said Sheryl Hay with Enderby & District Recreation Services. "We appreciate the community's support as our team gets to know the unique dynamics of this facility and works hard to deliver safe, high-quality public swimming and recreation programs for all ages."

Furthermore, some facility components are still in the final stages of commissioning. This includes the waterslide, two spray features, bubbler bench, and hot tub. These amenities will be opened over the next several weeks.  As well, construction work will be ongoing to finish the pool building, so certain sections may be cordoned off to protect the public while work is occurring, and some temporary construction solutions may be visible.

"We are thrilled to dive in and share this new facility with our community," says Mayor Huck Galbraith.  "This pool will be a vibrant gathering place where families will build memories for generations to come. It shows what we can achieve through regional cooperation, senior government investment, and the generosity of our local service clubs like the Lions and the Legion."

Allysa Hopkins, Chair of the Enderby & District Services Commission and Director of Area F (Rural Enderby), added, "This new outdoor pool is a spectacular win for our entire region.  Seeing the pool come to life just in time for the heat of the summer makes it all the more special.  From young families to aquafitting adults and seniors, the new pool will create a special experience that includes everybody."

The John Pritchard Memorial Sports Complex is about to get a whole lot louder.

Enderby is proud to announce that it will serve as the home ice for the Enderby Icemen, a new franchise in the Western International Junior Hockey League (WIJHL). This partnership marks a major victory for local sports, driving elite athlete development and promising a high-octane experience for a community known to have some of the best fans in the game.

“Enderby is a hockey town, plain and simple,” said Mayor Huck Galbraith. “Hosting the Enderby Icemen at our arena is a win for our entire sports culture. I know our community will show up loud and proud. I cannot wait to hear the arena rocking when our team takes the ice. It is going to be electric!”

The arrival of the Enderby Icemen adds a thrilling new chapter to the storied hockey culture shared by the City and Rural Enderby (Area F), further establishing the John Pritchard Memorial Sports Complex as a vital hub for local athletes and fans alike.

Enderby & District Services Commission Chair and RDNO Area F Director Allysa Hopkins noted that the team will be a centrepiece for community spirit. “This adds another layer of excitement to our facility,” Hopkins said. “We have a fantastic venue and the best people to fill the stands and root for our team. I am thrilled to see the energy that Junior hockey will bring to our winter season. Let’s go, Icemen!”

As the Enderby Icemen prepare for their debut season, fans should watch for upcoming announcements regarding the full WIJHL schedule, tickets, merchandise, and a home-opener celebration. It’s time to start making ice - Enderby has a home team once again, and the season cannot start soon enough.

March 12, 2026 6:00 AM - The City of Enderby is lifting the precautionary Water Quality Advisory effective March 12, 2026 at 6:00am.

Current Status

The Water Treatment Plant has returned to normal operations and the distribution system has completed a full water turnover.  All water users in the City of Enderby may return to normal water use.

Post-Advisory Recommendations

Consumers who chose to boil water may wish to run cold water taps for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure fresh water is pulled through their internal plumbing.

The City of Enderby thanks the community for their cooperation and patience throughout the emergency repair and recovery process.

Please help by informing others that this advisory has been lifted.

For further information, contact the City of Enderby at 250-838-7230 or info@cityofenderby.com.

The City of Enderby is providing an update regarding the precautionary Water Quality Advisory that took effect on March 2, 2026. The Water Quality Advisory will be lifted on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at 6:00am.

Current Status

The Water Treatment Plant was returned to service and began serving water into the system on Sunday, March 8, 2026.  This followed reduced turbidity in the Water Treatment Plant’s clearwell, clear results on bacteriological sampling, and additional chlorine testing.  After verifying that the Water Treatment Plant met required safety standards and Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines, it was reactivated.

Lifting the Advisory

The Water Quality Advisory will be lifted on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at 6:00am. This timing allows for the water in the distribution system to fully turn over, ensuring that all consumers receive fully treated water.

Next Update

The City will issue a final notification on Thursday, March 12, 2026 in order to officially lift the Water Quality Advisory.

Precautionary Instructions

Until the advisory is officially lifted, users with weakened immune systems or those seeking additional protection should continue to:

• Boil water rapidly for at least 1 minute for drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, or food preparation.
• Use hand sanitizer after washing hands.
• Use an alternate safe source of water if preferred.
• Once the advisory is lifted, consumers who have been boiling their water may wish to run their cold water taps for 3 to 5 minutes. This will help fully clear water from household plumbing systems.

The City of Enderby thanks all residents for their patience during these emergency repairs and the subsequent safety testing process.

Please help by informing others. For further information, contact the City of Enderby at 250-838-7230 or info@cityofenderby.com.

The City of Enderby is extending the precautionary Water Quality Advisory issued on March 2, 2026. While emergency repairs to the Water Treatment Plant are complete, the advisory remains in place as the City works to transition the system back to normal operations safely.

Current Status

The Water Treatment Plant repairs were completed successfully and the clearwell has been disinfected and refilled. However, the refilling process caused an increase in turbidity (cloudiness) to the clearwell water.  As turbidity interferes with treatment processes, it must be reduced to assure that only safe drinking water enters the system. In addition to allowing time for the turbidity to settle, the City is taking manual actions to accelerate the process so that the water meets this standard as soon as possible.

Next Steps and Timeline

The City is following a strict safety protocol to return the system to full service:

• Settling and Testing: Once the turbidity reaches acceptable levels (expected within the next 1 to 3 days), bacteriological sampling will be conducted to verify that the water in the clearwell meets Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines.
• Returning to Normal Operations: Following verification that the clearwell water meets Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines, the Water Treatment Plant will be brought back online and start serving water into the system.
• System Turnover: After the Water Treatment Plant is back in service, the existing water in the system must fully turn over, before the Water Quality Advisory is lifted, which will take several days.

Lifting the Advisory

A firm date for the removal of the advisory will be issued once the plant is online and the water turnover rate is confirmed.  It is anticipated that the date for the removal of the advisory will be between March 11 and 13, 2026.

Next Update

A further update will be provided on Monday, March 9, 2026.

Precautionary Instructions

Until the advisory is officially lifted, users with weakened immune systems or those seeking additional protection should continue to:

• Boil water rapidly for at least 1 minute for drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, or food preparation.
• Use hand sanitizer after washing hands.
• Use an alternate safe source of water if preferred.

Please help by informing others.

The City of Enderby Drinking Water System has issued a precautionary Water Quality Advisory starting on Monday, March 2, 2026 at 12:00pm due to emergency repairs to the Water Treatment Plant.

While the repairs are proceeding, the City of Enderby will be reliant upon its back-up groundwater source, which only receives one form of disinfection (chlorination, without ultraviolet treatment).  The Water Quality Advisory is expected to remain in effect for 3 to 5 days, until the repair has been completed and the Water Treatment Plant has been returned to potable status.  A notification will be issued when the Water Quality Advisory is lifted.

Until notified otherwise, users with weakened immune systems or wishing additional protection should take the following precautions when drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or when brushing teeth:

• Boil water rapidly for at least 1 minute or use an alternate safe source of water.

• Use a hand sanitizer after washing your hands.
