WHAT IS UP, PEOPLE! The weekend is upon us, and we just got some heckin’ good news. Edmonton’s very own Parkland County is getting a Nordic spa sometime in the future. Quebec company Groupe Nordik just announced plans for a $50 million spa that will be located just west of Edmonton!

You’ve probably heard of Kananaskis’ Nordic Spa, which is as close to an alpine sanctuary that we’ve ever seen. At NS you can lounge in the hot pools and treat yo’self to some stellar spa treatments, all while surrounded by nature. It seriously ups your relaxation game, and we’re pumped to say that Alberta’s getting a second.

This new facility will have a focus on thermal therapy while offering a wide variety of services. Thermal therapy is all about going from a good sweat to cool down and then letting your endorphins take over. Apparently, it’s a European tradition of doing a thermal cycle instead of going to the gym. So… what have we been doing all this time?! Heading to the spa is sure as sh*t a lot more pleasant than hittin’ up the stair climber.

This new spa will not only be great for your bods but the economy too. According to Group Nordik, it’ll create more than 450 jobs. Unfortunately, plans to break ground and begin construction won’t be till 2021.

So, guys, I guess you’ll just have to settle on Kananaskis’ Nordic Spa for now. See ya there!
