Summer Reflection
As we enter the new school year and reflect on the eventful summer, we are feeling incredibly grateful for the support of our community. Because the Village of Chase was unable to run the decades old children’s Summer Recreation Program this year, the Chase and Area Young Learners Society took the program on for the 2022 season. Every weekday between 9am-2pm, children aged 5-12 came to the Community Hall to play games, do fun projects, and go on community outings.
The Summer Recreation Program was managed by Susan Waters, who put her heart and soul into developing a quality program with weekly themes. With very little time to plan and prepare, she created a program that was so popular that it was consistently at capacity with registered campers. Summer program leaders,

CREEKSIDE SENIOR CENTRE.
If you would be interested in learning beginner’s Tai Chi, we will be starting a new year on Sept. 15, from 10 to 11:30am, upstairs in the Community Hall. Everyone is welcome (men included). This is a standing set of exercises, very gentle on the joints, good for flexibility, balance, and relaxation. We learn slowly, with a lot of repetition, and we have a “tea break” half-way through the class. Come and join us for exercise and socialization. FMI phone Judy at 250-679-5425
All regular activities at Creekside are now up and running after the hot summer, if you are looking for something to get involved in, come along and join us.
