SKATING PROGRAMS

We have revised our learn to skate levels. The Greater Victoria Active Communities Learn to Skate Program is new to seven municipalities of Greater Victoria this year. The Learn to Skate Program has been streamlined and designed so that any pre-school or school age child can have their accomplishments transferred from one center to another. This is a badge incentive program that emphasizes the importance of comprehensive feedback through a report card. Our Skate Team Leader is on the ice during all lesson times and can answer questions regarding lessons and your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skating progress.

Orientation -Adult Group INSTRUCTOR: Jonathan Ritchot

Several years ago I began an arduous journey from “flab” to “fit”. It began with the Biggest Loser Winner program twice and continued with Personal Training sessions with Dave Ristau. Dave’s vast knowledge kept the workouts interesting and progressively challenging. The camaraderie he built into his classes kept me on course. I lost 26 pounds and went from size 14 to size 6. Life took on a new vibrancy which was contagious. Two of my colleagues caught the ‘fitness fever”. One lost 40 pounds, the other lost 100 pounds and my niece began to regularly ski with her young family. With trepidation I registered for the 2013 Tough Mudder event in Whistler. Tough Mudder is a hard core obstacle course designed by the British Special forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. I/we did it! I finished! Thank you Dave and thank you West Shore Parks & Recreation. – Gail Machtmes
