Message from the Director: Winter is such a great time to get active. There is something about the changing of the calendar that makes us set new goals and strategies to help us be well in the coming year. We have many offerings for you from a physical fitness, wellness or special interest perspective. Maybe you want to shake it up with your friends at our Zumba class... or maybe you want to spin your way to health on a spin bike... or perhaps 2014 is your year to try a new skill like fly tying or learn to spice up your dinners with our cooking programs. Whatever it is you are looking for, we hope that you will take a few moments and see what we have to offer.

The Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change Background • Established in late 2011 as an initiative following the Community Energy and Emission Plan development process. • Chaired by the Mayor the committee has two staff representatives, one Councillor and 8 members from the community. • The MTFCC reviews and assesses ‘Climate Action’ projects and initiatives and provides recommendations to the Committee of the Whole (COTW) and Council. Key Climate Action Projects and Initiatives • Community Energy and Emissions Plan • Corporate Energy Management Program • Solar Community • Renewable Energy Opportunities Study • Okanagan Energy Diet Okanagan Energy Diet – Current Initiative The District of Peachland, Fortis BC, BC Hydro and LiveSmart BC are supporting the Okanagan Energy Diet. The initiative is aimed at lowering long term household expenditures through household retrofits that reduce energy and reduce Greenhouse Gases. More importantly, the process ensures that all home energy rebates for retrofits are able to be accessed by homeowners. Initial home energy assessments are being reduced from $300.00+ to just $35.00 (+ applicable taxes) as these costs are being subsidized by the program partners. You can find out more information and register at www.fortisbc.com (this is for BC Hydro electrical customers as well). The registration for the program is December 13, 2013 so please hurry!

Gentle Hatha Yoga

Build strength and endurance while improving flexibility, muscle extensibility and learn relaxation techniques. Great for beginners, but adaptable for all levels.

Gentle sequences allow you to stretch and loosen muscle joints, improve flexibility and strength while focusing on shoulders, knees and hips. Increase awareness of breath and relaxation, allowing yourself to “simply be!” Bring a blanket and a pillow (if you have them) for end of class relaxation.

Pickleball

Pickleball Clinic

Be part of the growing trend that combines three other popular sports: badminton, tennis and ping pong. Playing on a badminton court, using tennis rules and a racquet that resembles a ping pong paddle, you use a wiffle ball to challenge your opponents in this exciting game. Appropriate footwear such as inside court shoes are recommended. New players are encouraged to attend a Pickleball clinic before attending a regular session. No class Feb 10. Pre-registration is recommended to guarantee you a spot. Punch cards and drop ins available ONLY as space allows.

Designed for new players to the sport of Pickleball, you will learn the rules of the game, experience the feel of “hands on” skill development, and begin your joy of playing the sport. Wear inside court shoes, comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle and towel. Pre-registration required.
