Dock at Connaught Pond temporarily removed

Medicine Hat - Due to a decreased water level in the Connaught pond/reservoir, the dock will be removed until further notice.

The lower than normal water levels are because of the recent weather and increased water demand.

The pond remains open for fishing and other recreational activities, including the use of non-motorized boats, like canoes, kayaks and paddleboards. Without the dock, anyone utilizing the pond is asked to use caution when entering and exiting the pond.

Staff will monitor levels in the pond for the potential replacement of the dock before the winter months, if possible.
