What are you going to do? It’s a question we hear all the time, and this fall, it’s the question we’re asking our customers. Of course, with all of the incredible programs and services we’re offering at Talisman Centre in the fall, there’s always something fun to do – just flip through this guide, and you’ll see what I mean. But we’re also asking what you’ll do when we begin our facility enhancement project in 2010. You’ll find a few details about the project on the back page of this guide, and even more information on our website, at www.talismancentre.com/2010. In fact, that website will be updated whenever new information becomes available, so you should definitely check it out. It also answers some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the facility enhancement project, and I’d like to review a few of them now. First of all, the basics: The main tented portion of Talisman Centre will be closing in early 2010 in order to facilitate the replacement of its roof, along with various other enhancements. The two annex buildings adjacent to Talisman Centre will remain open, including Gyms 4 and 5, the cardio and fitness areas, and the 50-metre Training Pool. We’ll still have our remarkable ETS program, the TriClub and Personal Training, but there will be a reduction in the overall number and variety of programs and services we can offer, including group fitness. As well, to make room for the construction equipment, our parking lot will be down to a fraction of its current size. Of course, perhaps the biggest concern for members of Talisman Centre is what will happen to your membership. To make things as easy as possible, we’ve given you three options. The first option is to do nothing! Your membership will remain valid through 2010, and since we’re keeping the annex buildings open, you may be able to continue your fitness routine without much interruption. Depending on your needs, you may wish to wait and see if Talisman Centre is right for you in 2010, and then make your decision. But, if you’re feeling that Talisman Centre is unable to meet your needs in 2010, you can do one of two things: You can “freeze” your membership, then resume your membership when we reopen in 2011, locking in 2009 prices for the duration of that year. Or, you can get a pro-rated refund on the amount of membership you have left. If you do decide to leave, we will be happy to recommend another facility in the city that could better meet your needs in 2010, (and we hope you’ll come back to us in 2011!) As we get closer to December, you may wish to speak to a Customer Service Representative about your plans. Have a great fall, and give some thought to the question: “What are you going to do?” Sincerely,

Robin Mitchell

Chief Operating Officer

Membership Q&As Give me the basics - what do I need to know? 1) The tented portion of Talisman Centre (the main building) is closing in 2010 in order to have its roof replaced, along with other enhancements. The aquatic side will close December 31st, 2009, and the dryland side will close on February 28, 2010. 2) The two annex buildings adjacent to Talisman Centre will continue to operate, (including a pool, fitness centre, two gyms, etc.) and your membership will remain valid during this time. There will be no public drop-in after 3:00 pm every day; only Talisman Centre members will be permitted to enter the facility after this time. 3) Due to the construction and closure, the size of our parking lot will be substantially reduced, and we will be unable to offer certain programs and services during 2010. 4) Members have three options: 1. Continue to use the facility during 2010 2. “Freeze” your membership, then resume your membership when we reopen in 2011, locking in 2009 prices for the duration of that year. 3. Cancel, and get a pro-rated refund on the remainder of your membership What spaces will be available in the annex buildings during 2010? Aquatics – Calgary Foundation Aquaplex • 1 Customer Service Desk Entrance • 50m pool – will be allocated as 2 x 25m pools • 20 person hot tub • Access to the pool deck • Wheelchair access to the pool deck will be via an alternate accessible entrance • Foundation Lounge area (converted to locker rooms and the new Customer Service Desk) Dryland – Dr. Neville Lindsay Sport Wellness Building • Temporary entrance with vestibule • 1 Customer Service Desk • Fitness Centre • Gyms 4 & 5 • Locker rooms • LifeMark Health will continue to operate For detailed facility enhancement information visit www.talismancentre.com/2010.

OPEN HOUSE The tented, teflon roof above you has been an iconic part of Calgary’s skyline since Talisman Centre opened its doors in 1983. Twenty-seven years later, the current roof is reaching the end of its life cycle, and is ready to be replaced. The new roof going up in 2010 will be a major technological and structural improvement over the existing roof, and at the same time will preserve Talisman Centre’s unique silhouette. Come to one of our open houses (see dates below) to learn more about the space-age technology that will shape our new roof, and the future of Talisman Centre!
