11:30am Parade begins at Visitor Centre (702 Railway Ave.)

Turn north on Woods Lane to access the Tear Down Area on Baird Ave.

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.
