NewsFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 23, 2026
The Town of Fairview is moving forward with energy-efficiency improvements at the Fairview Aquatic Centre with support from the Government of Alberta through the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC) and its Community Energy Conservation Program.
The Town received a grant of $310,967 through the program to support a $518,000 project that upgraded the facility’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, as well as converting existing lighting to energy-efficient LED fixtures. The project replaced aging mechanical components with high-efficiency equipment with heat recovery and updated controls, while modern LED lighting will further reduce electricity consumption and improve overall facility performance.
The upgrades are expected to lower energy use, decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 152 tonnes of CO2 per year, and save over $22,000 per year in operating costs, while enhancing comfort, air quality, and visibility for patrons and staff.
“Investing in efficient infrastructure ensures that our community facilities remain reliable, responsible and cost-effective,” said Daryl Greenhill, CAO, Town of Fairview. “We appreciate the support provided through MCCAC and the Government of Alberta to help municipalities complete projects that deliver both environmental and financial benefits.”
The Community Energy Conservation Program supports Alberta municipalities in improving the energy performance of municipally owned buildings and infrastructure.
The Municipal Climate Change Action Centre is a partnership of Alberta Municipalities, Rural Municipalities of Alberta, and the Government of Alberta. Funding for the Community Energy Conservation Program was provided by the Government of Alberta.

To allow Public Works crews to safely and efficiently complete snow removal, residents are reminded to remove parked vehicles from roadways during snowplowing and snow hauling operations.
Parking vehicles on streets can delay or prevent snow removal.
Please note that this is enforced under Traffic Bylaw 965TR2010:

• Section 26.3: No person shall allow or create an obstruction to any highway under the direction, management, and control of the Town.
