Message from the Mayor

In this Issue...

F all has arrived, evident in the crisp morning air! We had a fantastic summer in Comox, enjoying the beautiful weather and taking part in numerous community events

and activities. Now, as we celebrate the harvest season, it’s a perfect time to express gratitude for our blessings and settle back into our routines at the Comox Community Centre. As we transition into this season, I am thrilled to introduce a brand-new program: the Early Years Collaborative - Speaker Series. This free drop-in session offers parents the chance to learn valuable parenting skills from experts right here in our community. For more details, be sure to check out page 118. We also have an exciting lineup of special events that I encourage everyone to attend: Music in the Park: Enjoy a free concert at Marina Park on September 1. Dinosaur Day: Mark your calendar for October 5. Haunted Hallway: Get ready for some spooky fun on October 25. Family Movie Night: Join us on December 13 for an entertaining evening together. And don’t forget our always popular Family Fun Night from 6:15 - 8:30 p.m. This is a fantastic opportunity for families to come together and enjoy a range of activities. Additionally, our Pre- teen Hangout from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. and Youth Open Gym from 8:00 - 9:30 p.m. provide great spaces for our younger members to connect and have fun. Whether you’re working out in the Fitness Studio, joining a fitness class, or enjoying some active time with your children in the gym, there are plenty of opportunities to stay active this fall. We look forward to seeing you at the Comox Community Centre and our seasonal special events.
