Welcome!

Help Shape the Future of Our New Aquatics Centre.

Your input is essential in designing Fort Saskatchewan’s next aquatic facility. Complete the Aquatics Survey and let us know what features matter most to you!


Project Background

In 2024, Fort Saskatchewan residents voiced strong support for a new Aquatics Centre during the municipal Census. In response, Council approved funding for the project’s design phase. As we move forward, your input will help shape the experience and offerings of a new facility.

Before the survey launches, we encourage you to explore the key features and considerations that will be included. Once the engagement phase is complete, the City will present the community's preferred features to Council for approval and begin detailed design work.

What to Expect in the Aquatics Survey

  • This survey will ask you to rank your priorities for additional features, activities, and dryland spaces (indoor spaces for relaxing, viewing, or rentals) at the new Aquatics Centre.
  • You’ll see a list of confirmed features that are already included in the facility, followed by questions on what additional elements are most important to you.
  • The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
  • You’ll have the option to provide demographic information and additional comments to help us better understand community needs.


Before Taking the Survey

To help you make informed choices, we’ve put together an Aquatics Learning Centre, where you can:

  • Learn about each feature being considered.
  • Understand key factors like cost ranges, feasibility, and long-term maintenance.

Take 10 minutes to review this information before the survey opens!
