MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR It’s time for more summer fun at the CVRD’s sports and aquatic centres! Cool off with some summer skating or shinny hockey, or make a splash in the pool or fit in a workout in one of our air-conditioned weight rooms. There is something for everyone. Bring your family and friends for a free swim during our Canadian Western Bank-sponsored Saturday swim program, running in July (starting the 9th). We are thrilled to continue this valued community partnership!
