Seasonal Public Washrooms Winterized

The District of Invermere’s seasonal public washrooms have been winterized in preparation for the cooler months ahead.

As overnight temperatures begin to drop below freezing, unheated facilities must be winterized to protect plumbing from freezing and help prevent damage during the winter season. Seasonal public washrooms are now closed for the winter. We thank residents and visitors for their understanding as we prepare our facilities for the colder weather.

A big thank you to our Public Works team for their work in maintaining District facilities and helping care for our community throughout the year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back when the seasonal washrooms reopen in warmer weather.

Our community surveys are now closed. Thank you!

A big thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the Services Survey and the Community Vision Survey this summer and fall. Whether you shared your thoughts online or chatted with us at the Farmers' Market, Locals Live, Movies in the Mountains or the beach, your feedback means a lot.

What's next? The results are now being reviewed and analyzed by an independent consultant. The final report will be shared with Council and made available to the public in November.

Stay tuned, and thanks for helping shape the future of Invermere!
