Residents and visitors may notice increased activity on the former Kin Race Track lands this week.

As part of the Active Living Centre (ALC) project, a specialized contractor will be conducting geotechnical drilling on Wednesday (today) and Thursday.

While a previous geotechnical survey mapped the entire lands for park planning purposes, the current explorations will provide more detailed information to help finalize building siting.

The site is currently open to the public; however, residents and visitors are asked to prioritize safety, provide the drilling contractor with appropriate space to perform work, and leave any marking materials in place.

The ALC building site is located at 3501 43rd Ave. west of the Kal Tire Place twin arenas.
