The Rec Center parking lot will be closed Friday, July 15, 2022.
The lot will be closed at 6:30am for cleaning, and then pavement markings will be applied midday. The parking lot will be reopened as soon as markings are complete, hopefully by late afternoon.
Maintenance will be painting temporary parking stalls in the grass around the loop identified for temporary parking. Access will be available to the library/adult pool for pedestrian walking, but there is no parking available until the lot is reopened as this parking lot will also be painted. When finished, the lots will be smoother and allow for the orderly parking of more vehicles.
Thanks for your help in getting this done as smoothly as possible.
The WCLS, with permission from the Association, posted a wonderful “Totem Tale” along the Lake Louise trail. They were pages of an illustrated storybook posted every few yards for children to read as they walked along the trail. This was a temporary display until the end of June. Yesterday, the signs were found vandalized. Some removed, some destroyed. The Association is an avid supporter of the Library in our community, and is offering a $500 reward for any information leading to the identification and arrest of the vandal. Please contact Norm Smith at norm@suddenvalley.com with any information you might have.
