Keep Your Belongings Safe at the Rec Centre

The Town of Hinton wants everyone to enjoy a safe and welcoming visit to the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre. Please take a moment to protect your personal items by following these simple tips:

Safety Tips:

• Lock your vehicle and do not leave valuables in plain sight (e.g. phones, wallets, bags)

• Keep your bag with you or within sight at all times

• Use the lockers provided inside the Rec Centre for secure storage

• Avoid bringing unnecessary valuables into the facility

• Do not leave items unattended in change rooms, lobbies, or common areas

• Be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity

If You Witness Theft:

Call the RCMP immediately and inform the facility staff.

Your safety and peace of mind matter. Let’s work together to keep our community safe.

When incidents occur, they result in facility damage, safety concerns, and additional costs for repairs and cleanup — all of which impact service levels.

The Recreation Centre is a vibrant, family-friendly space, and we want to keep it that way.

We’re asking everyone to help by:

• Talking to your children and teens about respecting shared spaces

• Report vandalism if you see it happening

To further support community safety, the Town is expanding its closed-circuit television (CCTV) system this year. As part of a major upgrade, 44 new cameras will be installed in and around the Recreation Centre, including coverage of:

• Rotary Play & Spray Park
• Skate Park
• Rear fire lane
• Parking lot

This enhanced system will support RCMP investigations, help prevent incidents from escalating, and enhance emergency response during serious events.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to maintain safe and welcoming public spaces for all.
