MeSSAGe fRoM tHe CHAiRThe physical, mental and social benefits to those who actively participate in recreational programs are readily apparent and well-documented. often, we think of the benefits of recreation in terms of our children however, adults get the same benefits by becoming involved in recreation programs.

If you are a busy parent and can’t seem to find the time for your own recreational activities think about this: i believe our behaviour today greatly influences the practices of our children throughout their entire lives. If they see us engaged and socially and physically active, they are significantly more likely to be the same way as adults. think about dropping in to an aquacise class, work out at our wellness centre or register for a yoga class.

peruse the fall recreation reporter and see if there is something that interests you. If you can’t find your particular recreational interest, let us know – we may very well be able to add it to our future program line-up.

A sport for all seasons, ice skating is a great way to get exercise, meet people and have fun. To learn the basics of skating, it is important to start out on the right “foot” by taking a few lessons. On-ice instruction prevents the development of bad habits, improves confidence and helps to master the basic techniques. Learning to skate also develops coordination, poise and good posture. Getting started takes only a little knowledge and plenty of enthusiasm!

ADult iCepRoGRAMS

Whatever your age, it’s never too late to learn the great Canadian sport of hockey. Instructional programs are available for beginners and more ac-complished players alike. Trying a new sport like skating or ringette is a great way to keep cool and add variety to your fitness routine. For those who just can’t get enough hockey, the popular adult hockey league is a great way to keep your skills sharp and have some fun!
