Mayor Bumstead, on behalf of the City of Dawson Creek, was happy to accept this generous donation from Veresen Midstream on Tuesday, June 25th to go towards the 2019 Free Summer Swim Program for Youth, Families and Seniors. 

The Summer Swim Program for July and August this year is a sponsored program that covers a portion of the summer swimming fees at the Kenn Borek Aquatic Centre. Sponsors chose to target specific groups (Youth, Families, and Seniors) for the summer in order to provide them with an affordable family recreation alternative.
