Affordable Recreation The Strathcona Regional District and the City of Campbell River believe that the strength of a community can often be measured by the health and wellness of the members within it. For this reason our recreation departments work together to try to eliminate as many barriers to full participation as possible.

Quality Foods – Rec Bucks This program enables Quality Foods shoppers to redeem their Quality Foods points for Rec Bucks. It’s easy to participate! Simply cash in 200,000 Quality Foods points for a $20 Rec Bucks voucher which is redeemable for recreation programs, admission passes and facility rentals.

Jumpstart 4 – 18 Years JumpStart is a community-based charitable program that helps kids in financial need participate in organized sport and recreation. To request funding for a program, complete an application form which is available at the Sportsplex or Community Centre. If you require more information regarding the program, call the Community Centre at 250-286-1161. Kidsport™ So all kids can play!

6 – 18 Years At Kidsport™ we believe that no child should be left on the sidelines. That’s why Kidsport™ eliminates the financial barriers to sport participation. Kidsport™ is a community-based sport charity that provides grants for Canadian children age 6 to 18 to participate in a recognized sport, led by a qualified coach. The sport must be affiliated with a member organization of Sport BC and must be a member of the Campbell River Kidsport™ organization. Grants have a cap of $200 per year, per child. To apply go to: www.kidsportcanada.ca. Mail completed application to: Kids Sport BC, #260-3820 Cessna Dr. Richmond, BC V7B 0A2

The Recreation & Culture Department exists to provide recreation and culture opportunities and ultimately to help support and create a vibrant, healthy and engaged community! In 2014, staff undertook an extensive review of service provision and we had an excellent response rate from the community. As you read the Recreation Guide you will see some changes that have been made in response to public input such as; childcare parallel to some fitness classes, new weekend programming, and more drop-in and unstructured activity choices. We are also working out in the community to support other organizations with their recreation efforts. We hope you will find something of interest to support your active lifestyle!

The Morning Catch With Jenn-O! Every Weekday Morning from 6am to 10am I was born in the big city of Toronto, but have always been an island girl at heart! I’m in love with the city of Campbell River and the generous, welcoming individuals that make this one of the greatest places on earth. I CAN’T WAIT to get married out here in August, and I am currently undergoing the wonderful, (yet panicky/ exciting/ crazy) stage of planning for our upcoming wedding. I’m proud to call this city home, and whether its a quick stroll near the ocean, or a charity event over the weekend, I am constantly blown away by the love and support our community pours out. Walking/ biking the trails, smell of the ocean, beaches, and the endless amount of ‘Hidden Gems’ to explore are just a few of the many things I love most about living out here. I hope you’ll join me on the Morning Catch weekday mornings between 6-10am. We’ll talk about everything from upcoming events and local issues, to the great artists that make this station tick and maybe even some free prizes to keep you going too! I can be reached at 287-44-44 or via email at: jenno@2dayfm.ca

Piano Lessons If you’ve always wanted to play piano... now is the time!

For all ages– Just for fun or serious study!

Aquatic Therapy Programs

Aquatic therapy is a form of physical exercise which can significantly improve structural and muscular strength. Many people have made vast improvements after motor vehicle and work related accidents, orthopedic surgeries and other debilitating conditions. The water decreases weight bearing and stress on joints and muscles. Strength will improve and range of motion naturally increases. Physician consented and ICBC approved.
