The bridge construction may cause delays if you are heading to the clinic over the next month or so. Please give yourself some extra time to arrive for your appointment.

Motorists are advised of an upcoming road closure for the bridge construction project on Gaetz Avenue, across Waskasoo Creek.

From September 4 to October 9, Gaetz Avenue will be closed to all southbound through vehicle traffic between 45 Street and 43 Street. Motorists heading south on Gaetz are encouraged to divert early to Taylor Drive via Ross Street or 48 Avenue to avoid traffic delays along the 45 Street detour.

Access to local businesses within the work site will continue to be maintained throughout the closure.

Drivers are reminded to slow down in construction areas and to follow signage. Thank you for your patience while this infrastructure work is completed. Updates will be shared as construction progresses.

Children under the age of 19 are covered for their check ups through Alberta Health Care.
We have a great selection of glasses for kids and teens, with packages starting at $139.
