While we had hoped to host a soft open of the new Enderby Outdoor Pool in Barnes Park on Friday, June 12, it has been delayed as the last bit of essential work is completed on the pool and building.

Once we have our final approvals and inspections, we will be able to announce our soft opening date. We hope to make that announcement very soon.

We are so excited to welcome you to make a splash in the new Enderby Outdoor Pool in the near future.

Kick the mud off them boots.
Pull on your best denim.
And don’t forget that cowboy hat.

On Friday, July 10, 2026 we're asking you to dress up and get your boots to the dance floor at Belvidere Park (702 Railway St.) for a night of country music.

Returning to the stage is Okanagan, husband-wife, country duo, Room to Dance. Andy Plett and JC Plett are back by popular demand and will perform country dance songs to keep this community two-stepping, twirling and dipping from 6:30pm until 9pm.

Canadian 4x4 Auto Repair Centre and Enderby Legion Branch 98 have signed on as co-title sponsors to deliver this outdoor country dance party FREE-of-charge.

In addition to great tunes, come for the delicious eats and cold beverages on-site to stay fueled up for the dance floor:

D&mn Good Eats with juicy burgers, tacos and sandwiches.
Samosa Joes will be there with mouth-watering samosas and poutines. Sweet Iron Cafe will be on-site featuring their specialty Dirty Sodas.

Don't forget to bring a little cash along to give yourself the best chance of leaving richer than you came. Enderby & District Financial is running a cash-only 50/50 in support for the Enderby Food Bank.

Please RSVP on our Facebook event page to help spread the word!

Summer is just around the corner, and the wait is almost over for the first splash into the new Enderby Outdoor Pool! The phased opening kicks off with a soft opening on Friday, June 12, building up to the official ribbon-cutting ceremony and Grand Opening celebration in mid-July.

Starting June 12, the new pool will be operational and offering the regular schedule of public swims, swimming lessons, and aquatic programming. On this day, in addition to aquatic programming and school field trips, there will be a toonie swim from 2:45pm to 3:45pm and a public swim from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

The soft opening period will be used for staff to train and fine-tune the operations of this brand-new facility. Occasional interruptions and delays are expected as staff learn the facility under real-world conditions. As staff master the new facility, the community's patience and support is appreciated.

While the pool is ready for action, work on the overall facility is not yet at 100% completion. Work on some facility components and construction items will continue after June 12.

Public excitement over the new outdoor pool has been overwhelming and we expect an extraordinarily high amount of interest in attending as soon as it opens. Public entry will be limited based on the pool's maximum occupancy, which is the amount of people who can safely be in the pool based on the size of the facilities and the number of lifeguards.  There may be very long wait times on the first few days after opening.

The Grand Opening celebration will occur in mid-July. At this time, the community will be invited to a special event to officially open the new Enderby Outdoor Pool. The date of the Grand Opening will be announced soon.

The City of Enderby thanks all residents for their support and enthusiasm in bringing this incredible new recreation space to life.

The pool schedule is available in the Summer 2026 Recreation Guide, available on the City's website.

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!

Here's to another incredible summer event season in Enderby!

The City of Enderby has been selected as one of just 40 recipients across Canada to receive funding through the RBC Barrier Buster Grants Program, a national initiative led by the Rick Hansen Foundation in partnership with RBC and the RBC Foundation.

The "Enderby's Barrier-Free Facilities" project will receive $40,000 to support immediate accessibility improvements, reducing physical barriers and creating more inclusive public spaces for residents and visitors of all ages and abilities.

The project includes the installation of automatic door openers at the John Pritchard Memorial Sports Complex, improving access to both the arena and curling rink.

These upgrades will make it easier for individuals using mobility devices to participate in recreation and community activities.

At Enderby City Hall, an automatic door opener will be added at the lower entrance, providing seamless access to the building's wheelchair-accessible elevator and ensuring equitable access to municipal services, public meetings, and community engagement opportunities.

The project will also fund a barrier-free hot tub lift at the Enderby Outdoor Pool, scheduled to open in mid-June.

The lift, coupled with an accessible ramp into the pool itself and barrier-free change rooms and washrooms, will allow individuals with mobility challenges to safely access therapeutic and recreational water amenities, supporting health, wellness, and inclusion.

Together, these improvements represent a coordinated approach to accessibility that spans recreation, civic services, and wellness infrastructure.

By enhancing multiple local government facilities, the project will create lasting improvements that increase independence, remove barriers, and ensure public spaces are welcoming and accessible for everyone.

“A strong community is one where everyone can participate and feel welcome,” said Mayor Huck Galbraith.

“Whether someone is visiting City Hall, attending a hockey game, going curling, or enjoying our outdoor pool, they should be able to do so with dignity and independence.”

Allysa Hopkins, Chair of the Enderby & District Services Commission and Director of Area F (Rural Enderby), added, “This is an incredible win for our region. By removing these physical barriers, we are creating more opportunities for residents to stay active, connected, and independent. It’s about ensuring that everyone can fully experience and enjoy all that our community has to offer.”

“We recognize the positive impact accessible infrastructure has on community participation and well-being,” said Sheryl Hay with Enderby & District Recreation Services. “These improvements represent a significant step toward creating a barrier-free community where we can all access facilities and programs. A healthy community is a community that includes everyone.”

The RBC Barrier Buster Grants Program was created to support accessibility improvements in communities across Canada and to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Rick Hansen's Man In Motion World Tour.

The program funds projects that remove physical barriers and advance inclusion in public spaces.

More than 64% of Canadians either have a disability or live with or care for someone who does, highlighting the growing importance of accessible infrastructure in communities of all sizes.

The City of Enderby was one of only seven British Columbia recipients and one of 40 organizations, municipalities, schools, and community groups selected nationwide through a highly competitive application process.

There will be a community event celebrating the completion of these projects in November 2026.
