Happy New Year!

Quality Staff, Quality Programs

West Shore Parks & Recreation strives for excellence in service delivery. Our highly skilled staff have post secondary education in the areas of sport, fitness, recreation, aquatics, early childhood education, catering, administration, maintenance, and parks. In addition, all staff undergo criminal record checks and complete child protection training. Various staff are trained in first aid, facility operations, emergency procedures, customer service and other such areas to ensure our facilities are friendly, safe and well maintained. So when you’re looking for a great program, with great value and fun, know that West Shore Parks & Recreation is the perfect place to play.

Improving WSPR Trails

With the assistance of a Federal Grant, modifications were made to the trails surrounding West Shore Parks & Recreation facilities. Approximately 3 km of the wood chip trail surface was replaced with crushed rock material and the trail was expanded to form a complete loop. This resurfacing creates a stable surface which is suitable for all ages and abilities and for those using mobility devices or strollers. The trail is a no cost option for physical activity such as running, walking and/or jogging. The trail is linked to municipal sidewalks and amenities within the community making recreation and travel easy and rewarding. Fun Fact: 1600 tons of 20 mm road base crush went into this project.

Lights on the Fields

You asked and we delivered. With the assistance of a Federal Grant, West Shore Parks & Recreation Society added field lights to Sports Fields 1 and 3. This improvement provides a well lit and enjoyable place to play sports during the evening.

The Rotary Picnic Playground

We are on our way! With generous donations from the Sunders Foundation, Lions Club, Schneider’s Country Naturals, Peninsula CO-OP, the Town of View Royal, JdF 55+ Seniors Centre, the Forzani Group and the Rotary Club of Colwood we have raised $133,904 towards a new accessible playground in the lower park. With nearly half of our goal complete we are now able to begin phase one of the project which includes the Hightower Slide-O-Rama, Xscape 2.0 and the standing See Saw. The Playground project is now gathering funds for Phase Two. Make a donation, purchase a legacy brick (only 67 bricks left), or drop a toonie in the donation box at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre. For more information or to make a donation visit www.westshorerecreation.ca /playground.

The Biggest Loser Winner

Over a year ago, I woke up to the stark realization that if I wanted any quality of life in the second half of my life, I needed to take my health and fitness seriously. I made changes to my lifestyle: a healthy diet; an earlier bedtime; and more physical activity. These were steps in the right direction, but I soon realized that I needed more. I stumbled onto a blurb about The Biggest Winner program in the West Shore Recreation Activity Guide and decided to go for it.

Best Decision of My Life! I have been an active participant in the program over the past 12 months, moving from Level 1 to Level 2, decreasing my BMI from 30.5 to 23, losing a whopping total of 35 inches, moving down 3 clothing sizes, and dropping fifty pounds! My energy level has dramatically increased and I feel like a million bucks. I’m even willing to wear a swimsuit! The support and encouragement from my trainers has been incredible and I’ve so enjoyed the camaraderie of the group. It’s been hard and steady work, but worth it.

I’m now ready to be independent in my workouts, simply because I’ve had such a great experience at The Biggest Winner. My confidence has grown in every way. I’m so grateful that I’ve had this positive opportunity to turn my life around.
