Three great reasons to get your kids playing soccer: 1. Fast friends

If your child is new to town, or wants to connect with some fresh buddies, soccer is a natural way to make healthy friendships

2. Future fitness

Wherever your child goes to post-secondary, travels or works, there will be soccer. It’s the universal language.

3. No parents required

Once your kid knows the rules, they can self-coach and self-referee anywhere there’s a ball and a field.

Aqua Yoga Age: 19 Years and older Aqua yoga adapts traditional hathe poses to the water environment. With the assistance of water, the muscles can work harder while allowing the joints to be supported and may allow students a greater range of motion increasing their flexibility. The gentle nature of Aqua yoga makes it ideal for all ages & fitness levels. In addition, the support of the water makes it ideal for those who cannot enjoy the benefits of regular yoga due to past injuries. ***Please note if you are registering for more than 1 day please contact reception due to the various fees associated. *** Wed Fri Mon Wed Fri

Symptomatology 101

Hands-on Exploration of REAL Food Age: 19 Years and older

This course involves more ‘playing with your food’. We’ll talk about growing food (even just sprouts in your kitchen!), harvesting, and preparing for optimal health. We’ll compare the plant and human life cycles; observe their similarities and discuss their co-evolution and how it relates to our digestion and nourishment. Participants will also first-hand take part in growing sprouts and microgreens and tasting fermented beverages. With each item, we’ll explore their vast nutritional benefits and how to optimally prepare and consume them. Wed 5:30-7:30pm Apr 11-Apr 25 $50/3 sessions Instructor: Lisa Marie Bhattacharya , RHN, Registered Holistic Nutrionist Location: Cedar Room

Age: 19 Years and older Feel lousy lately? If you are chronically tired, sore, anxious.... it may literally be ALL IN YOUR MIND. What we eat, how we move, how we handle stress, and what toxins we’re exposed to have a huge impact on the brain and consequently the whole body. This leads to brain fog, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, depression, and a whole lot more. We simply don’t feel right when the brain is inflamed. Join this 5-session workshop to discover how to navigate the hazards and energize your life.

Learn how to read your body better and understand its many cues. This course will explore the body systems and learn how to ‘listen’ to and fulfill each of their needs. We’ll look at healthy cleansing & detoxification, the gut-brain connection, the importance of seasonal nourishment, what an ideal diet really looks like (an individual approach will be offered for each attendee), and more. *This course is a good follow up to ‘Beyond the Canada Food Guide’ or can be a stand-alone course (no prerequisite needed).

Get to know - and fight - invasives

nvasive species are a threat to people, property and local ecology, so City of Powell River residents are urged to become familiar with the most threatening species. The most concerning of the invasive species in Powell River are Knotweed, Giant Hogweed and Butterfly Bush. Knotweed is a highly invasive plant that can damage infrastructure, ecological systems, salmon habitat and other important resources. Knotweed is a significant problem to infrastructure, being able to grow underneath the footings of a house and disrupt the foundation. Knotweed can result in difficulties with property insurance or ultimately, problems with housing sales. The only treatment to eradicate Knotweed is to spray a systemic herbicide on it. Hogweed can have impacts to human health. It is photo toxic and extremely damaging to skin, creating unsightly lesions and burns that can reoccur over time.

Butterfly Bush

Butterfly Bush has been added to the list because it could become the next Scotch Broom. If the spread of Butterfly Bush can be caught early enough, the hope is that it won’t be as pervasive as Broom is in the Powell River region. While it is considered a perennial shrub and can still be purchased in many stores, its name suggests that it will attract butterflies with its beautiful flowers, and song birds for the seeds, both of which are true. The trouble is that with 100,000 seeds on an adult plant, the Butterfly Bush is actually pushing out Active Living Guide Spring/Summer 2018

native species that butterflies rely on, damaging both the ecosystem and butterfly habitat. Treatments for invasive species can require some specific measures. While some people advocate sending out excavators to rip up concentrations of invasive species, sometimes such treatments can make the problem of spreading even more significant. For example, the best way of dealing with Broom is to cut it at ground level and to not disturb the ground, which may contain seedlings that will grow if exposed. People trying to control Scotch Broom should “cut their Broom in bloom.” It is suggested that people remove Broom in bloom because that’s the best time to cut the plants with the least opportunity of causing the Broom to regrow. The bloom window is end of April, through May and the beginning of June, after which the seed heads ripen. Many communities on the Vancouver Island have taken

Giant Hogweed

up the fight. For more information, please go to: BroomBusters.org For the vast majority of invasive species, chemical treatments are not necessary. Simply cutting the plants down and properly disposing of them can significantly assist in controlling the problem. The Powell River Regional District is purchasing a burner so that invasive species can be incinerated. The community has also come to tolerate some invasive species, such as blackberries, that have

formed a significant social role in the community, such as the creation of the Blackberry festival. People also consume the berries in desserts and wines. Invasive plant management in Powell River is an ongoing initiative. It is not possible to eradicate all invasive species, but the goal is to control them before they have a chance to spread. While there is provincial legislation, the Weed Control Act, which governs invasive species in British Columbia, enforcement is a difficulty. Work is underway on the creation of a City of Powell River bylaw that would address issues surrounding invasive plants. A persistent problem in Powell River is people taking invasive species from their properties, cutting them down, loading them in wheelbarrows or trucks, and dumping them in the woods or on vacant lots. Patches of Knotweed and other invasives have been found in remote locations and

Knotweed

the only way they would have arrived is through illegal dumping. People often say that “it’s just organics,” but these “organics” have the potential to spread and do great harm. To stop the spread, it’s important for people to be able to identify invasive species, and ultimately, to treat them or remove them responsibly from their properties for proper disposal.
