A free pool party will be held to celebrate the Prince George Aquatic Centre's 20th birthday.
It is set for Sun., Dec. 16, 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., and will feature games, prizes, music, balloons and cake.
Also, the latest Active Living Guide holds a copy of a vintage colouring sheet, which was originally printed in 1998 to mark the PGAC's opening. Colour in the sheet and drop it off at the PGAC by the end of the day on Thurs., Dec. 15 and your name will be entered in a draw for a 20th anniversary sport bag. The winner will be announced on the day of the pool party.
In 1993, Prince George voted 8,815 to 2,652 - nearly 77 percent - in favour of borrowing the money to build the facility.
In the time since it has opened, it has welcomed more than five million visits. An estimated 275,000 visitors per year use the facility as part of swimming clubs, for swimming lessons, or to just drop in for a splash.
The Aquatic Centre features include a 50-metre pool - which holds over 2.3 million litres of water - a wave pool, diving boards, and an on-site fitness centre.
