The Cranbrook Community Forest located on the eastern boundary of the city and to the north of Hwy. 3/95 encompasses 2000 hectares of forest, grasslands and lakes. It is a designated provincial recreation site and contains many kilometers of trails of varying difficulty. It is a great place to come for a quiet leisurely stroll, a more energetic hike or a bike ride. In this way you can get some exercise and enjoy the natural environment of this semi-wilderness area so close to the city. A visit to the

self-guided nature trail around Kettle Lake is a fun and educational outing for the whole family.Access points are located on Mt. Baker Road, beside the College of the Rockies residence and via the gravel road to the north of the provincial Fire Suppression Base. The use of motorized vehicles is banned other than on the main gravel access road.For more information visit the Cranbrook Community Forest Society website: cranbrookcommuntityforest.com

Trees for LifeSustain those memories of a special person, whose life you wish to commemorate, or perhaps celebrate a meaningful event such as a birth, wedding, anniversary, retirement, graduation or special achievement. Plant a tree of your choice and identify your gift with a celebratory plaque.The City of Cranbrook and Cranbrook in Bloom Committee have developed site plans for each of the following locations to ensure that your ‘Tree for Life’ is placed in the best possible position and is shown to its best advantage. These “Trees for Life” locations will provide many years of enjoyment for the donor and public alike. In future years

these locations will become ‘demonstration urban forests’.The following sites have been chosen for their readily available source of water, accessibility and visibility for all to enjoy. Moir Park, Gyro Park, Cranbrook RecPlex and Rotary Park. Memory Lane in Idlewild Park is a natural setting and is also available but care must be provided by the donor as there is no irrigation at this site. The cost of the trees (including a bracelet plaque) are $535 including delivery, planting and ongoing care.

SeniOr “fun”ctiOnAl fitneSSUsing a variety of equipment, participate in exercises designed to aid the aging population in improving function and completing their daily living activities. You may choose to swim laps, participate in the class, relax in the hot tub, sauna or steam room, or choose your own activities in the deep end or wave pool.

SHAllOw/trAnSitiOnAl AquAfit Shallow water aquafit has the benefit of providing excellent cardio, strength and flexibility training. The option to work at a transitional depth (neck deep with or without a buoyancy belt), provides participants who experience lower body joint issues, to participate and improve in all weight bearing activities. Suitable for everyone.

SpOrt cOnDitiOning Every class is a mixed bag of sport specific activities. Circuit work and interval training will be incorporated to deliver a challenging workout. Aquatic steps, fins, balls, noodles, kickers and cuffs, paddles, tethers and dumbbells may be used to increase intensity of a workout. The focus is to strengthen the weak musculaturewhile providing challenging cardio. This is neither specific to shallow or deep water. Instructors will determine at the time of the class which areas will be used. Participants must be skilled Aquafitparticipants or athletic persons wanting to cross train. Shoes must be worn.

why ShoeS? The aquatic shoes provide the wearer with more stability and traction for an upright stance when moving through the water. They reduce the effects of impact when jumping in shallow water and add resistance in deep and shallow water, thereby further helping build strength. They help to prevent accidental slips on the deck and in the pool. They also help protect the feet from infection and protect the joints from impact. what kind of shoes can you wear? Old trainers (as long as they are clean!), surf walkers, sport sandals, or specific shoes made for aquatic fitness. Ask any of our aquafit instructors where to buy these types of shoes, they will be happy to assist you!
