This popular fast paced after school program includes all aspects of hockey. Passing, shooting, skating, stick handling and organized drills similar to those in practice will help to elevate their game to the next level. This program sells out quickly so don’t miss out. Participants must have previous hockey experience for this program. **Women’s Intro to Hockey: The purpose of this program is to introduce women to the basic skills, to make new friends and to try the game without having to make a commitment to the entire season.

Program will take place on the Leisure Ice. **Adult Learn to Play: Come and experience the game of hockey like never before! Our qualified instructors will instruct the basic skills in a fun, creative, non-competitive and non-contact environment. Each session will include supervised instruction and plenty of game play. This program is co-ed and is designed for those aged 15+ who do not regularly play hockey, but would like to learn. Program will take place on the Leisure Ice. Private Lessons (all ages welcome): Want to learn how to skate or work on your hockey skills? Private lessons only cost $18.25 per ½ hour and semi-private lessons cost $13.75 per ½ hour per person. All ages welcome at our private lessons. Please call 287-9234 ext. 231 to book your time.

The Crows Come To Campbell River! serious and playful, a joy or a pest depending on context. The Crows can have multiple personalities, ranging from the Shakespearean ‘Fool’ (acting as the conscience of the community) to slapstick entertainment to pantomime to educational teachers. Scripted vignettes will be designed to be flexible enough to adapt to various performing contexts as well as to the skills of the performers.

Crow Theatre aims to create a ‘branding’ aspect of Campbell River. The Crows visibility on the streets or popping up in surprising places, has the potential to become a presence that contributes to the positive experience of living in or visiting our City. “Did you see the Crows?” is a question we hope to instill within locals and tourists alike!

The Crow Theatre project is sponsored by a B.C. Arts Council Arts Based Community Development (ABCD) Grant.

Campbell River Parks, Recreation & Culture

The Campbell River Arts Council is excited to have created a very innovative and unique project entitled ‘Crow Theatre.’ Crow Theatre is designed to be an outdoor street theatre, with multiple aspects for community engagement.

The Arts Council contracted Heather Gordon Murphy of Raincoast Productions to assist with the development of Crow Theatre. Future plans include the performing of various ‘Street Antics,’ alongside the development of a Crow Crier (Town Crier), Crow Cops, a Puppet Theatre and Educational Crows working with various grade level classrooms on social justice issues.

Crow Theatre also aims to have value added benefits for the community of Campbell River in that it promotes cultural tourism and supports current cultural initiatives in the City.

Crow Theatre will work toward being inclusive of all cultural narratives. An extremely intelligent bird, crows are interpreted as both
