After 21 years of fundraising for one of Turner Valley’s most beloved facilities, the Friends of the Pool Society has given notice it was disbanding. Long serving members Tracie David, Brenda Thompson, Barb Savage and Hazel Martin have devoted countless hours to fundraising and supporting initiatives to enhance the facility. As a final gesture of community support, the group donated remaining funds in the amount of $27,000 to be applied to upgrades to the canopies over the bleachers and in the picnic area of the spray park.
