HMS Eradicator One hundred years ago, in 1920, the HMS Eradicator started its work on Henderson Lake. The Eradicator was a boat meant to eradicate the weeds in the lake. As the boat traveled the lake, a saw was used to cut the weeds and clear them from the lake. Its maiden voyage was not impressive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;H.M.S. Eradicator, flying the flag of Commodore Freeman, on Henderson Lake, was found to have failed on her trial trips, being on two occasions at imminent risk of going to the bottom in search of the weeds she was after and so nearly becoming a submarine.â&#x20AC;?

There are several barriers women in the South Asian community face: the lack of information, the lack of awareness that help is out there and understanding that it is okay to reach out. I’m currently separated from my husband and in the process of getting a divorce, but when I was experiencing domestic violence, my biggest challenge was not getting immediate community support. ,EZMRK REZMKEXIH XLI W]WXIQ EW WSQISRI [LS [EW E ZMGXMQ MXƅW FIIR E ZIV] JYPƼPPMRK I\TIVMIRGI JSV QI XS ZSPYRXIIV MR XLMW ƼIPH 2S[ -ƅQ EFPI XS KMZI Q] ZSMGI XS XLSWI XLEX QMKLX RSX FI EW GSRƼHIRX XS VIEGL SYX JSV LIPT 8LIVI MW PMJI EJXIV PIEZMRK E marriage.

The Painted Turtle is part of the Beaver Bundle, and an important part of Blackfoot culture. During the winter, the Painted Turtle hibernates in the mud of water that does not freeze.

HORNS RECREATION
Community Update
July 2020
With the province moving to Stage 2 of its relaunch strategy and easing of restrictions, the University of Lethbridge is following the guidelines that advise sport and physical activities be relocated to outdoor settings. The University, under the province’s Guidance for Post-Secondary Institutions, must limit in-person attendance as much as possible and balance the needs of all users.
Community Stadium As a primarily outdoor facility that is operated in partnership with the City of Lethbridge, the U of L’s Community Stadium will open on June 24 for drop-in use only. Visit the stadium website for more details: http://go.uleth.ca/stadium-schedule. As of July 6, group bookings will be accepted by contacting Sandy Williston at sandSB.williston@uleth.ca.
Summer Camps Balancing post-secondary facility restrictions alongside recreation guidelines that continue to advise that, where possible, sport and physical activities be re-located to outdoor settings, Horns Recreation will offer a select number of summer camps outdoors at the Community Stadium. These include the soccer and multi-activity camps. Understandably, these decisions which minimize the number of in-person camps is frustrating for parents who are trying to plan activities for their children over the summer. However, indoor summer camps require non-recreation based campus space which is limited by adherence to the current Post-Secondary guidelines as outlined by the province. Parents who have registered their children in a camp that cannot be offered in July will be notified by email. Registrations for the August camps will remain open. For specific offerings, visit our website at: http://go.uleth.ca/sportrec.
Following the province’s announcement about entering Stage 2 of relaunch, which moved Recreation Facilities into an earlier phase than initially indicated, the team at Horns Recreation has been working hard behind the scenes to welcome members back to the U of L’s fitness facilities as soon as possible. While the way the facilities operate will change slightly, the team looks forward to helping its members reach their fitness goals in its state-of-the-art facilities, through a variety of programming and training options. The Max Bell Regional Aquatic Centre is scheduled to reopen at the beginning of August, and all other specific re-opening plans are being developed and will be posted online at uleth.ca/sportrec and through social media accounts @hornsrec.
Further updates will be sent out once decisions have been made to re-open the University of Lethbridge campus. If you have any questions, please email directly to sportrec.csc@uleth.ca.
