Officials with the Town of Edson are noting a few changes to pool programming at the Edson and District Leisure Centre in the new year.
Town officials say lifeguard staffing challenges are making it necessary to reduce services temporarily. With the new schedule there will be a reduction in hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, specifically the morning and evening lane swim and morning public swim.
The Town of Edson says it is actively recruiting lifeguards and working on offering more courses to train residents to become lifeguards. If you are interested in becoming a lifeguard and want to find out what it takes, please email katieb@edson.ca or visit www.edson.ca/lc.
Officials hope this is a temporary measure, and they can be fully staffed and back to regular hours in the near future.
