On September 9 and 10 the whole is invited to celebrate the opening of the aquatic/curling multi-sport facility.

Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sports Centre (SLSFSC) and the Town of Cochrane are joining forces to bring activities, games, demos, special performances and a unique fundraising opportunity for Rock the Waves.

The FREE two-day event is your perfect opportunity to dip your toes in the pool or perhaps throw your first rock. 

Robin Mitchell, General Manager of SLSFSC says while a smaller celebration occurred when the pool opened on July 30 they always intended to have a much bigger bash. "We had the main grand opening back on July 30, when the actual aquatic centre did open and it was met with a lot of fanfare and some great speeches. This time it's more of a now that it's built, now that it's ready and we've worked out some of our hiccups; we want to see the public come out and take advantage of the opportunities that they can in a huge recreation facility that is here for the local people of Cochrane and the surrounding area of Rocky View County"

A fundraising opportunity will also occur and make a big splash at the event. "You really want to catch the dunk tank; I understand there could be a bunch of celebrities that are sitting in a dunk tank and for a couple of dollars towards Rock the Waves you can get someone in a nice suit to drop into some cold water."

Patsy's Place, Jugo Juice, and a bbq will help satiate your hunger during the 11 am to 3 pm celebration.

Mitchell, shares don't miss out on this opportunity to celebrate Cochrane's largest infrastructure project in town history. "It's really an opportunity to leave your wallet at home and come down, check out, for four hours each day all the different things people can do. Several of our tenants are setting up booths so people can also find out what other things take place in Spray. Several of the sporting group's rugby, lacrosse, and soccer are all going to be doing a demo so people can come in and give it a try and just see all the different things that they take place down at Spray."

A link will be available shortly for you to nominate someone you would like to dunk, so put your thinking caps on and help Rock the Waves.
