MeSSAGe fRoM tHe CHAiRAs the days get shorter and the cooler weather approaches it is important to continue building physical activity into your day. this issue of the recreation reporter offers opportunities for you and your family to stay active throughout the fall.

We kick off the fall season with the terry fox Run on Sunday, September 16th at the lower Vanier field, beside Comox Valley sports centre. Participating in this community event will lift your spirits. Keep them elevated by registering early in a program such as adult skating lessons, swimming lessons for the children and ‘Boots to Blades’ or ‘Skate, Snack and Story time’ for the pre-schoolers. Self- directed activities such as weightlifting at the wellness centre, length swimming or relaxing in the hot tub can also reduce stress, improve your health and generally make you happier.

Get out to the sports and aquatic centres and enjoy all the various fall activities. for more information visit our website www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/rec or join us on facebook, twitter or Google+.

Help pReVent A pool foulinGAll children not toilet trained must wear an article of clothing that will keep fecal matter contained in the event of a fouling. A pool fouling will cause a closure of our pools anywhere from 1 - 24 hours. Health authorities enforce this regulation. We suggest you use plastic pants or Little Swimmers pool pant diapers. Little Swimmers are available for purchase at the front desk and most major retailers. Please note that standard cloth or plastic diapers will not contain fecal matter and are therefore not permitted in the pool. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.

Kids ice program

sKiDS 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 “foot” 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!

YoGA

ReStoRAtiVe YoGARelaxation is considered one of the most important aspects of Yoga. We don’t have to be active for something to happen. Our body holds tension in our muscles and we are not even aware of it; by using our breath and softening into longer, supported posture (Asanas), we facilitate our bodies ability to open and release on it’s own. Ideal for those recovering from injury or illness.---------------------------------------------------------------------Monday 6:45-8:15pmAquatic Centre Wave Roominstructor - Akiko Shima
