It’s been a full year of learning and new experiences since I’ve
became President. Our board has accomplished a lot this year
and here are some of the highlights: wrapping up our bathroom
renovation in the oldest part of the building, hiring new office and
weekend staff, re-working our Bingo program and the way we
operate, personally connecting with our board and conveners,
working with the Dance and Baton program for improvements,
looking at new programming such as Pickle ball coming this fall,
and adding new cabinets into our office.
It’s been a busy year. All worth it for our community.
With a few things left on my list to due this summer & fall, such
as finishing up the job descriptions and policies, booking board
member training, working on a new and improved Winakwa
equipment room, and looking for a few new board members to join
us in September (Positions that will be open: Hall rentals, Website
/ Publicity, Vice-President etc.) I’m excited to see what the fall and
winter will bring.

Winakwa Community Centre 2
I’m very excided to announce a new program to
Winakwa Community Centre starting in the fall
of 2015; pickleball. See pickleball write up for
more details.
I would like to introduce and welcome the
newest staff member to Winakwa C.C.
Kim Graeili, Kim is a area resident with years
of office experience that will help with day to
day operations as office assistant. Kim can
be reached at winakwa.cc.office@gmail.com
Welcome aboard!
Dino Moran, Facility Manager
Basketball
While I write this, it is a warm summer day! Although there isn’t much that can beat our
summers, I am also a huge fan of winter and the options out there for our community members!
Basketball is one of the great options, when looking for a sport for our son/daughter(s)to play.
Fitness and fun, learning to play as a team and making new friends are just a few of the benefits.
Also, as a spectator, it doesn’t suck that it is played indoors during our long and cold winter!
Winakwa Community Centre has been an active part of the WMBA (Winnipeg Minor Basketball
Association) since 1988. The WMBA has programs available to boys and girls, ages 4 to 18.
The league schedules games for the children 12 and under on Saturdays and 13 and up on
Sundays. Just an FYI, there are some days that the teams have 2 games scheduled on the
same day. The schedule includes games played at a variety of gyms in community centres and
schools and at times that range from morning to late afternoon. The teams usually have at least
one practice per week. Practice time and location is only determined after teams are formed and
coaches can be assigned a location and time slot that works for them.
This past spring 2015 season, Winakwa hosted 4 teams. From what I heard and saw, our teams
did well and the players enjoyed their season! Parents had a blast cheering the teams on and
the coaches once again, stepped up to help create an engaging and fun environment!
I can never say it enough…but “THANK YOU” to the coaches! As basketball convenor, I am
grateful for all of you who stepped up. Without you, some of these young athletes did not have
a team to play on. As a parent, I thank you for sharing your knowledge of the game and passion
for the sport with these young people! I ask that the parents of these young players take a
moment to thank your son/daughter(s) coach. Coaching goes beyond showing up to games and
practices. There is often a lot of time spent, planning practice, working on line-ups and bonding
with these athletes. They deserve to be acknowledged.
I encourage everyone to visit www.wmba.ca for more information about the league, the rules and
the fair play policy.
See you at fall registration and please consider coaching and/or volunteering for the Winakwa
Basketball Program. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Wendy Bowen
Bingo
Hockey
nothing but positive feedback from both the coaches and the parents.
Fall is fast approaching and it’s time to start thinking about hockey
registratoin for the 2015-2016 season. Last season, Winakwa
hosted 2 Timbit and 3 novice teams and I would like to thank all
those who volunteered. We are looking for volunteers to help coach
and manage the Timbit and Novice age groups. If you coached
last year and wish to continue please let me know at your earliest
convenience. I want to express my sincere thanks and gratitude in
advance to all the volunteers who will help make this a fun filled and
successful season for all involved. Registration will be done online
once again and should be open at this time through the SBMHA
website (www.sbmha.ca). A link will be available on the Winakwa
CC website. Registration cut-off date this year is September 9th so
please don’t wait. Parents new to the community or to the sport can
contact the Winakwa office at (204) 253-4418 or myself at 204228-8372 for more information. Enjoy the rest of your summer and
see you all at the rinks in the fall!
We are looking forward to next year where a new convenor will also be
joining our team to make things run even smoother on and off the field.
We were told by a number of the coaches that their teams had chipped
in and surprised them with a small gift after the last game of the season,
they were thankful for the tokens of appreciation and look forward to
seeing what the next soccer season has in store. We would like to give
one last great big THANK YOU to all of our volunteer coaches this
season and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!
Ron Vermette
Baseball
With another successful baseball season behind us, I would like to
take the time to thank all of the volunteers who made it possible.
Without the help of the parents, the Winakwa baseball program
would not be what it is today! At the time of this writing, the Bonivital
U11 AA White Sox are heading to the Provincial Championships!
Good luck team!
Please watch for my emails over the winter with registration
dates and prices, baseball camp info, and tryout info. If anyone is
interested in coaching next year and would like to prepare over
the winter, there are online courses that can be done ahead of the
season. Please contact me for more information.
Clare Dickinson
Soccer
Well the time has come again where we reflect on the past and look
forward to the future. This season’s Smurf, Mini and Tykes soccer
programs were a success! We saw several changes take place and
look forward to more to come in the future. A few of the changes
that took place included - Tim Horton’s Jerseys instead of cotton
printed shirts, Tim Horton’s sponsoring our jamboree with timbits,
medals and small gifts and the addition of a second convenor.
One of our biggest successes was the streamlining of the food at
the jamboree where we saw Howard and his staff cook, package
and provide the food to the coaches instead of having a large line up
outside, also this allowed the canteen to provide additional types of
food and drinks to the spectators on such a warm sunny day! We had

Ringette
Winakwa Ringette is looking for new players to the sport. Ringette

Pickleball
Pickleball will be starting in Fall 2015 at Winakwa CC. What is Pickle
ball? A paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are
simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop
into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for the experienced players.
Program starts sept 9th. Mon and Wed from 9am-2pm and Friday from
9-12pm. 1/4 membership for $50.00 or drop in $4.00.
The Basics:
1. A fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton
and ping-pong.
2. Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton sized court.
3. Played with a paddle and a plastic ball.
Introduction to the game of Pickle ball demo day is held here at
Winakwa C.C.
Sept 2, 2015 from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. Come and see how the
fastest growing sport in North America is played.
Do you have any great photos of Winakwa
sports enthusiasts in action? Would you
like to see your photos in print?
If you are interested in publishing your photos in the Winakwa
Community Centre newsletter, please contact Lori at (204) 218-7267.
We are currently taking a summer break from Bingo but we had a great finish; our large pot went
in the Spring along with many other winnings. This program will start back up in the fall with great
door prizes and a free cup of coffee. Be ready for September 14th. Will you be the lucky one?
Indoor Soccer U9-U18
Once again we have our Indoor Soccer Season around the
corner. This season starts in October and wraps up in March.
You can register your son/daughter in this great sport at
Winakwa’s fall registration. This game is a much faster game
with less stoppage in play, no off sides and player substitution
on the fly. Your son or daughter that enjoys outdoor soccer will
find they love indoor. Come outdoor season they are ready to
go and thrive! Most games are played on the weekends - girls
on Saturday and boys on Sunday. One game a week and most
coaches run a practice or two a week. The cost (approx. $300) is
a little more than outdoor soccer because the games are played
in indoor facilities and it is a longer season. It’s a great game to
watch (no rain!). Hope to see you at registration.

join our group. We are always looking for volunteers as well.
Volunteering with the High Steppers Seniors Club is a great way
to give back to the community. For more information about our

This year we honored two of our volunteers who have retired
after many years of service to the High Steppers Seniors
Club; Margaret Tonn (18 years) and George Wilkes (15
years). Thanks so much for your love and passion in serving
the senior members of our community. Bert Johnson was
selected to receive the “Long Time Service” award at this
year’s Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. He has been volunteering
for 23 years as a Board Member, Driver and Thursday Volunteer
at the Senior’s Club.
It is so wonderful to say thank you to someone who is so kind
and gives back so much to others. We also honored one of our
seniors who has been with us for 20 years. Simone Joyal has
been coming to our program almost since it began. Shelly Glover
made a special trip to congratulate Simone and give her best
wishes. Thanks Shelly.

Softball
This year we had a great softball season at Winakwa. Softball
registration numbers remained consistent with past years. With
community club amalgamations Winakwa had enough players to host
3 teams:
• LTP II (7 & 8 year olds)
• U10 B
• U12 C
I would like to congratulate the U10 B & U12 C, after the Bonivital
playoffs were finished Winakwa had a Bronze medal for the U10 B
and a Gold medal for U12 C.
Thank you to all our volunteers & coaches. There is a lot of time that
goes into coaching the girls and without volunteers the girls wouldn’t
have a program to participate in.
Thank you to everyone that helped me through my first year as
Softball convener. I look forward to next season.

Stay N’ Play
We are a parent run playgroup for children from birth to 5 years old
and we are open Friday mornings from 8:45am to 11:00am. There is
lots of room to run and play and we have many toys, drive ride-ons, a
play structure, a play house and the kids have fun creating play dough
art and more!
Snack time is provided by the parents but coffee is provided by
us. Come out and enjoy some conversation with other parents and
have the kid’s burn off some energy. We are in need of a volunteer
or a pair of volunteers to run the program come September.
