Embrun, November 8, 2024 – The Township of Russell and the United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR) are pleased to announce that, with renewed funding through the Regional Community Investment Fund, free access to the Walking/Running Track at the Township of Russell Sports Dome will continue through 2025 and 2026. This annual $40,000 funding support enables residents and visitors to benefit from barrier-free access to this key recreational facility, promoting active, healthy lifestyles in the community.

Commitment to Community Health and Accessibility

The Township of Russell and the UCPR have once again collaborated to champion community wellness and equal access to recreation. With this continued funding, the Township aims to sustain opportunities for physical activity without financial barriers, ensuring that health and fitness resources are accessible to everyone in the community.

A Word from Leadership

Mike Tarnowski, Mayor of the Township of Russell, emphasized the community benefits of this renewed support: “The renewal of free access to the walking track ensures that residents have a safe, welcoming space to stay active year-round,” he said. “Particularly during the winter and on days with challenging weather, the track serves as an essential resource for residents of all ages. This partnership with the UCPR demonstrates our shared commitment to enhance the health, accessibility, and quality of life in our community.”

New Visitors to the Dome

New users are invited to stop by the reception desk on their first visit at 150 Sportsplex Street in Embrun, for an introduction to the facility’s rules and policies. Updated hours for the Dome can be found at www.russell.ca/sportsdome and are subject to change.

Looking Ahead

With the continued support of the Regional Community Investment Fund, the Township of Russell is proud to maintain this initiative as a model for future community investments. This effort underscores a lasting commitment to the health and vibrancy of the Township’s residents and the broader community.
