It’s my pleasure, to present to you, our fun filled Winter/Spring recreation
guide. Inside this guide you will find exciting programs, new and returning,
for all ages!
We have a new parent and tot art class and new adult classes in drawing

Develop Youth self-confidence and agility with our GoJu-Ryu Karate. It is
being taught by Blackbelt instructors and structured for youth interested in
belt levels. Also new for youth, we’ve added Junior Coed flag football.
Old favourites like Pickleball, March Break camp (March 14 – 18) and our Annual Ester Egg Hunt (March

On behalf of Council, I encourage one and all to come out and participate in all we have to offer.
Sincerely,
