HELP PREVENT A POOL FOULING All children not toilet trained must wear an article of clothing that will keep fecal matter contained in the event of a fouling. A pool fouling will cause a closure of our pools anywhere from 1 - 24 hours. Health authorities enforce this regulation. We suggest you use plastic pants or Little Swimmers pool pant diapers. Little Swimmers are available for purchase at the front desk and most major retailers. Please note that standard cloth or plastic diapers will not contain fecal matter and are therefore not permitted in the pool. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.

kids Ice programs
sports centre, 3001 vanier dr, courtenay, 250-334-9622 A sport for all seasons, ice skating is a great way to get exercise, meet people and have fun. To learn the basics of skating, it is important to start out on the right “foot� by taking a few lessons. On-ice instruction prevents the development of bad habits, improves confidence and helps to master the basic techniques. Learning to skate also develops coordination, poise and good posture. Getting started takes only a little knowledge and plenty of enthusiasm!

Shoreline litter is one of the biggest threats to our oceans and waterways and can impact ecosystems, wildlife and people. Many Comox Valley residents use local beaches for their favourite activities - walking, jogging, beachcombing, sunbathing, swimming, sand-castle building, bird watching, fishing and boating. By volunteering, you can actually see the positive
