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.

Enderby's new hub to power local volunteering

The City of Enderby is excited to announce the launch of Volunteer Enderby (volunteer.enderby.ca), a volunteer matchmaking website designed to connect local community groups with passionate community members.

Finding the right volunteer opportunity is now simpler than ever.

Whether a community member has a few hours to give back or is looking for a meaningful way to share a passion with like-minded individuals, Volunteer Enderby makes it easy to find a perfect fit and meet new people along the way.

By contributing their time, community members can be part of something bigger while helping to shape the vibrancy of their own community.

“People in Enderby care deeply about their community,” says Mayor Huck Galbraith. “Volunteer Enderby helps turn that care into action by showing exactly where help is needed most. It’s about making it as easy as possible for community members to jump in and make a difference.”

While many community groups are currently feeling the strain, Volunteer Enderby provides a helping hand.

The site gives these groups a straightforward way to post their needs and connect with volunteers without any complicated requirements or registration barriers.

The City encourages all community members to visit Volunteer Enderby, scan the current listings, and discover how they can support the community and grow their own connection to Enderby.

Chocolate-y smiles were the theme of the Enderby Easter Celebration on Sunday, April 5, 2026.

More than 300 egg hunters divided and conquered two waves of Easter Egg Hunts at Riverside Park.

The business community was unbelievably generous with their financial support allowing the Easter Egg Hunts to be more robust than ever with more than 11,000 goodies spread across two ball diamonds.

New this year was a Teen Easter Trivia Challenge, where dozens of teens hustled to answer holiday-related questions for their chance to win prizes.

All of the activities were absolutely unbelievable again this year. And, all entirely free!

Thank you to Event Coordinator, Vallerie Byrne for curating this truly spectacular day.

This event would not be possible without the incredible volunteers who make it happen. They are there before the public arrives setting everything up and they are there after everyone departs cleaning up.

Thank you to each and every volunteer who made the Enderby Easter Celebration the success that it was (and apologies for anyone we miss):
Eileen, Caitlin, Tony, Ben, Todd, Anita, Amanda, Jacqueline, Natalie, Juel, Allison, David, Tundra, Roxanne, Sophie, Tate, Heather, AK, Ronnie, Wayne, JP, Joe and so many more!

The Easter Celebration was 100% free and that is thanks to the robust number of local businesses, organizations and individuals who supported this community event.

Every contribution matters, and we are so grateful:

Stage 1 of The City of Enderby's Water Conservation and Drought Response Framework restricts water use from May 1st to October 1st of every year. This helps to decrease over-watering, water waste, and the related impact upon public infrastructure.

Remember, just because it is your day to water, that does not mean that you must water your lawn. Check first and only water if it's needed.

Sprinkling is permitted for a maximum of 2 hours per day between the hours of 6:00am and 9:00am and 6:00pm and 9:00pm.

Properties with even numbered civic addresses may water on even numbered days. Properties with odd numbered civic addresses may water on odd numbered days.

Properties with automatic sprinkling systems may water between the hours of 12:00am and 6:00am on their assigned watering days.

Hand-watering on days other than your assigned watering day is permitted providing you use a hand-held container or hose with a shutoff device.

See the below graphic for a quick reference for watering permitted in Stage 1:

The full Water Conservation and Drought Response Framework can be viewed here.

Thank you for your cooperation.

On July 18, 2025, the City of Enderby unveiled the first sculpture under its Public Art Sculpture Program, ‘Mother Earth’, created by local sculptor Hop You.  The sculpture stands along George Street (Highway 97A), next to City Hall, and represents the essence of Mother Earth – celebrating water, land, and animals. 

Guided by dreams inspired by the Creator, Hop’s work draws deeply from nature.  Influenced by his elder’s teachings that caring for Mother Earth brings rewards in life’s journey, Hop uses his art to preserve and pass down his knowledge and experiences to future generations.

The City would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the unveiling of the Mother Earth sculpture.  The City was deeply grateful for the presence of distinguished guests, including Kukpi7 Christian and Tkwamipla7, elder Adele Thomas, MP Mel Arnold, MLA David Williams, and Area F Director Alyssa Hopkins.  A special thanks to the Enderby & District Arts Council and Public Art Select Committee who helped to launch the City’s Public Art Sculpture Program.  Most importantly, a huge thank you to Hop You for sharing this remarkable piece of art with our community!
