The Okotoks Recreation Centre is celebrating the ten year anniversary of their expansion.

They are starting that with a draw for a $1500 travel voucher from Pacesetter Travel or a prize package from Sobeys. To be entered into the draw you have to purchase a facility pass at the Okotoks Recreation Centre.

Okotoks Recreation Centre Client Services team member Jenn Berry says they try to do something every year to promote physical health.

"Every fall we like to celebrate recreation and fitness, as well as the work that is done in our programs."

Berry says that the draw also encourages people to try the different drop in opportunities the Rec Centre has.

"We have a wide variety of drop-in programs at the recreation center, we hold various classes and also have drop-in swim or skate times for the public."

Berry adds public skates will also start in October.

The celebration of the ten year anniversary is not just a celebration of the way the facility has brought the community together.

"We were able to expand in 2006 and offer a second pool, a gymnasium space, extra meeting room space. We just love that it has become the heart of the community," Berry says.

The celebration will be held October 16th, and the draw will take place the same day.
