The City of Enderby is implementing a campfire ban effective at noon on Friday, July 10, 2026. This ban is in addition to the prohibition on open burning that took effect on May 7, 2026, and now includes:

• campfires;
• open burning (all);
• fireworks;
• sky lanterns;
• burn barrels or burn cages;
• binary exploding targets;
• tiki and similar kinds of torches;
• chimineas;
• air curtain burners; and
• Wood fired hot tubs, wood fired pizza ovens and other wood fired devices unless vented through a structure that has a flue and is incorporated in a building

This prohibition does not include outdoor stoves provided they are a CSA-rated or ULC-rated device used outdoors for cooking, heat or ambiance that burns charcoal briquettes, liquid fuel or gaseous fuel, and has a flame height that is less than 15 cm tall.

The ban applies to the City of Enderby and the Shuswap River Fire Protection District. The ban is consistent with the Kamloops Fire Centre's prohibition.

This prohibition is in effect until the Kamloops Fire Centre rescinds its ban, unless notice is provided otherwise.

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."

Community Events are organized by the City of Enderby and Event Coordinator Vallerie Byrne.

The reason these events draw thousands of locals and visitors from across the Shuswap, North Okanagan and beyond is because of the awe-inspiring generosity and support from local businesses.

Sponsorships allow us to elevate these events with professional entertainers, giveaways, live bands, photo booths, dunk tanks, bouncy castles, face painters and so much more. The most important part being that these events are delivered free of charge to the community.

If you are interested in financially supporting a 2026 Community Event, we've got different sponsorship tiers to suit your business' budget and can also get creative with in-kind sponsorships, if financial support isn't in the books this year. Email events@cityofenderby.com to receive a sponsorship package.

If you are interested in volunteering at any of our 2026 events, please email: volunteer@cityofenderby.com.

This is your chance to get trained up as a parade traffic control person, run an information booth, help with a car show, set up a photo op or even be a bouncer of a bouncy castle...the volunteer opportunities are vast and invaluable at each of these events.

You can find more volunteer details at volunteer.enderby.ca!

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.

Enderby’s new outdoor pool is almost ready to make a big splash in the community.

With construction nearing completion, a soft opening date of June 12 has been set.  During the soft opening, the pool will be available for use, with some non-critical items still progressing while staff continue to train on facility operations. A grand opening celebration is planned for July 2026.

Enderby’s new outdoor pool is a modern aquatic facility that will provide exciting new recreation opportunities for residents and visitors. The new pool will offer features for all ages, including:

• A slide
• Spray features
• A lazy river
• A shallow family and tot area
• A hot tub
• Enhanced shade areas
• Family change areas
• Improved accessibility features throughout
• New pool building

While opening day is a few weeks later than anticipated at the start of construction, the schedule was adjusted after several important mechanical components did not pass the manufacturer’s quality control process and had to be remade before shipment to site. Replacement components have now passed quality testing and are on their way to Enderby.

The new outdoor pool is a significant addition to Enderby’s facilities.  Its design and amenities will create new opportunities for the entire community to come together through swimming and recreation.

Summer is about to get even better as the new outdoor pool opens its doors to the community.
