Grand Trunk Leisure Centre Maintenance and Upgrades
Grand Trunk Fitness and Leisure Centre will be closed for maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. The arena will remain open for regular activities during the closure.
Please feel free to continue your fitness and recreation activities at a neighbouring City of Edmonton recreation facility such as O'Leary, Londonderry, Eastglen, Peter Hemingway, or Jasper Place.
For the duration of the closure, Tier 2 and Tier 3 pass privileges will be honoured at other City recreation facilities (excluding Kinsmen Sports Centre). Annual passes may also be suspended during the closure and reactivated when the facility reopens.
