MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Meet up at the CVRD sports and aquatic centres this summer and learn something new! These pages are filled with classes and programs to get your body moving and keep your summer fun. The kids’ summer ice camps (on page 89) are a great way to learn the basics of skating and hockey. If you have mobility challenges or would just like to improve your balance, coordination and range of motion, then check out page 87 for the Aquamotion classes. Remember to invite your friends, family and visitors to join you at the CVRD aquatic centre for some free wave pool action. Canadian Western Bank is once again sponsoring the “Saturday Swim Program” from 1-4:30 p.m. during July and August.

Kids Ice Programs

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;footâ&#x20AC;? 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!
