Over the past 61 years ALPS has been a leader of aquatic activities that promote fun, fair play and sportsmanship. We have grown from 4 to 22 participating clubs, and expanded from competitive swimming to include water polo, synchronized swimming and diving programs for more than 4000 young athletes.

We could not have accomplished this without our dedicated volunteers. Volunteers who have cared for our community-oriented organization and have had the vision to help it grow. As we look to the next sixty years, we need your help to keep our ALPS family strong.

As you know, ALPS is a 100% volunteer run association. Our current executive committee consists of 15 members, of which only three have children participating in ALPS activities today. At this year’s AGM, there are three vacant executive positions up for election:

• PRESIDENT
• WEBMASTER
• DIVING COORDINATOR
  

The current President and Webmaster have kindly agreed to shadow the new members for the full year to ensure continuity and support. We ask that all ALPS Reps forward this call for nominations to their pools communities.

Anyone can be nominated or you can nominate yourself. Please forward the Names of the Nominees by 12:00pm on May 1, 2019 to Janice O’Dette, ALPS Secretary: [email protected]

A list of all nominations will be sent to the ALPS Representatives and current Executive members on May 2, 2019 in preparation for the AGM on May 3, 2019.

Thank you for your continued support.

We’re excited to open the doors on the brand new chalet. We get the keys from the city on June 1st, and registration day is Saturday, June 2nd. Come out, register, meet the staff for 2018, sign your child(ren) up for lessons and get a first peek at our new facilities. Gates open at 10am and we’ll be accepting registrations until 2pm.

Dear members,

Following many comments and emails, I would like to remind all our members that the closing day for Lakeshore will be August 17th. On Friday, the city will decommission all pool equipment so that construction can start next Monday. With the tight project schedule and the penalty clauses for any project delay, the city wanted to be certain that the pool be available for construction. It is after much effort that the city allowed us to stay open until the 17th but staying open next weekend was not a option as it would have jeopardized the project timeline.

Another reminder: all Lakeshore members with a valid membership card will be admitted to other outdoor pools in Pointe-Claire.

Thank you for your understanding.
