A Message from the Mayor Welcome to the Fall / Winter edition of the Leisure Guide for 2018.

After many months of planning and training, the Parks, Recreation & Culture Department is currently in the process of rolling out new software at the Leisure Centre. We greatly appreciate everyone’s patience during this period of transition and look forward to being able to serve you with even more efficiency in the weeks and months to come.

Along with the software conversion, a great deal of work has also been done on developing a new Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture Master Plan, which is available on the District of Mission website. The Master Plan is the end result of extensive public engagement and will assist Council and staff in developing new

programs and identifying key infrastructure improvements over the next ten years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the consultation process. Your comments and opinions are invaluable.

In response to this public feedback, Council have approved over $850,000 in renovations and improvements to local parks including Blott, Kinsmen West, Centennial, Fenn, Heritage Park, Lightburn, Hatzic and Griner Park. These improvements will be carried out over the months to come.

Please visit our website at mission.ca for more information on program and services offered through Parks, Recreation & Culture and connect with us on social media for updates and special announcements.

Sport for Life

Sport for life begins with Mission Parks, Recreation & Culture Mission Parks, Recreation & Culture wants to set everyone up for the healthiest life possible and physical literacy plays a role in this.

Canadian Sport for Life physical literacy principles help guide fundamental development in skills. These skills include:

¥¥ Throwing ¥¥ Catching ¥¥ Jumping ¥¥ Swimming ¥¥ Running ¥¥ Balancing ¥¥ Coordination

Floor Hockey - Preschool Introduce your preschooler to the basics of floor hockey. Skills such as stick handling, shooting, passing and teamwork will be covered. Children will play games and participate in activities that encourage safe play and having fun! Some parent participation required.

7th Annual Pulling Together Conference Presents

Resilience In a Digital World Tools and Resiliency Strategies

Friday, October 19 Clarke Foundation Theatre

Mission is on a mission to build a community that recognizes and responds to the affects of chronic stress. Various sectors, including police, healthcare, and schools, are working together to forge relationships with children and youth in the community who are struggling. Through learning to identify the stressors and approach those in need with compassion, the community is contributing to a sense of hope and thus building resilience.

Keynote speakers:

Learn more about how you too, whether a parent or community service provider, can build resilience in Mission. Attend the Pulling Together Event held Friday October 19, 2018.

Mission Racers Speed Skating Club has a long history dating back over 40 years and was the home club for Olympic Speed Skater, Eden Donatelli Green.

We skate Tuesday and Thursdays on the North Arena of Mission Leisure Centre.

Kids can join to learn to skate on longer blades and with 2 hours of coached practice a week advance quickly to completing laps. As the club provides the skates, equipment needed is minimal; a helmet, shin and knee pads, neck guard and gloves making it an affordable sport for all. Skaters have the opportunity to compete at local meets with skaters of similar abilities. They can also strive to compete at BC Winter Games, Provincials and Western Canadian Championships.
