Message From the Mayor & Table of Contents
Message from the Mayor W inter is a magical time to come together, stay ac- tive, and take advantage of the many recreation opportu- nities available in our community. Whether you’re pursuing a fitness goal, registering for a program, joining a drop-in activity, or simply looking for something fun to do with family and friends, this Guide is filled with ideas to explore. We’re pleased to continue investing in programs that strengthen your connections within the community. This year marks the third year of the Early Years Parent Speaker Series, a free program made possible through BC Healthy Communities. The series brings families together to explore relevant parenting topics, connect with experts, and enjoy meaningful conversations in a welcoming environment (that includes babysitting and dinner!) We’re also making recreation more accessible by offer- ing all Family Open Gymnasium drop-in programs FREE of charge. If you’re looking to try something new, be sure to check out Women Empowered, an exciting women only program that helps participants build confidence, both physically and mentally, in a supportive setting. Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction based on the Gracie University curriculum, participants can work to- ward earning a Pink Belt while learning practical skills that emphasize technique and leverage over strength. Join us for the 50th annual Polar Bear Swim at Goose Spit on January 1. Whether you’re ready to take the plunge or prefer cheering from the shoreline with a cup of hot chocolate, this beloved New Year’s tradition promises to be a memorable one. As a small thank you to our residents and Communi- ty Centre users, join us on January 20 for Customer Appreciation Day. Recreation staff will be welcoming visitors with complimentary snacks and opportunities to win prizes throughout the day. On behalf of Council, we hope to see you there!
