We are offering three tours; each with a different focus. There is no charge but you must pre-register by calling 250-923-7911. Deadline to register is 48 hours before the tour begins.

Baikie Island: turn right on to Robinson Road from Highway 19 (Sayward Highway), just after the traffic lights at Woodburn Road. Drive through the business area to the entrance to the park. Plenty of parking available.

swimtosurvive[7-11]Aquatic Based Pro-D Day CampThis program was designed to teach young people the necessary self-rescue skills they will need if they are going to be around the water. This is an extremely fun and educational workshop. Don’t forget to bring a lunch, lots of towels and a change of clothes you can swim in (including shoes).

The facts may surprise you:Most drownings occur only 3 to 15 metres away from shore or a • point of safety - learn to swim and reduce the risk.2/3rd’s of drowning victims had no intention of entering the • water and died as result of unplanned immersion. They did not have the necessary self-rescue skills to survive the incident.

Learn essential self-rescue skills:Learn how to get oriented after an unexpected entry. • Learn how to support yourself at the surface.• Swim to safety – learning to swim a standard distance of 50 • metres could prevent a water-related incident and save your life.

Swimming is an important life skill:Acquiring a basic swimming ability is a fundamental • requirement in the attempt to eliminate drowning.Leaning to swim can help you enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle • that includes fitness and recreation.

getmovingWeek(AllAges)September 29th, 2012 is officially Sports Day in Canada. The Strathcona Regional District and City of Campbell River are working with a number of community sports, recreation and active living groups to organize a Community Engagement week building up to the big day. This week will include a number of FREE SPORTS & ACTIVE RECREATION ACTIVITIES throughout the community. A detailed list of all of the opportunities available in the Campbell River area will be released on Sept. 10th – see below for a list of Strathcona Gardens activities.

➲ AboutthePowerofsportSport has the power to reduce crime, foster character and citizenship, introduce newcomers to their communities, stimulate the local economy, provide adult mentorship for young people, teach kids important life lessons and strengthen community connectedness. Unfortunately, sport participation is on the decline in our country. Over the past two decades, sport participation rates in Canadian youth aged 15 to 18 dropped from 77% to 59% - and in adults, from 45% to 28%. Over half of Canadian adults are considered inactive, and only 7% of our children and youth are active enough to meet Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines.

➲ JerseyDay-Friday,september28Back again as a popular part of the Sports Day celebrations, Friday, Sept. 28 is a national day to show your love and support for sport by wearing a jersey, team or club uniform to school, work or play. From municipal council chambers to the National Capital to news desks, office buildings and classrooms across the nation, we envision a sea of Canadians wearing their hearts on their sleeves on national Jersey Day.Dates: Week of Sept. 22-29, 2012 Sat., Sept 22 5:00-9:00pm Try Underwater Hockey & Water Volleyball Ages 7+ Sat., Sept 22 4:45-5:15pm Try Ice Quest Learn to Skate Lessons Ages 6+ Sat., Sept 22 5:30-6:15pm Try Little Rascals Hockey Lessons Ages 3-5 Sat., Sept 22 6:30-7:00pm Try Adult Learn to Play Hockey Lessons Ages 15+ Sun., Sept 23 12:30-4:00pm Try Synchronized Swimming & Lifesaving Sport Ages 7+ Mon., Sept 24 6:00-7:30pm Try Drop-in Skating (Leisure Ice) All Ages Mon., Sept 24 6:30-8:00pm Try Synchronized Swimming & Lifesaving Sport Ages 7+ Wed., Sept 26 6:30-8:00pm Try Underwater Hockey & Water Polo Ages 7+ Wed., Sept. 26 6:00-7:30pm Try Drop-in Skating (Leisure Ice) All Ages Fri., Sept. 28 6:30-8:00pm Try Surfing & Boogie Boarding Ages 7+ Fri., Sept. 28 ALL DAY JERSEY DAY All Ages Sat., Sept 29 5:00-9:00pm Try Underwater Hockey & Water Volleyball Ages 7+Cost: FREE for those willing to give it a try.

Parent & Tot Skating Lessons: Enjoy playing a variety of games on the ice with your child while you both develop your skating skills. No previous skating experience is required for the child or their parent/guardian – the emphasis of this program is fun.**Parent & Tot Hockey Lessons: Parents and tots will get a chance to develop both their skating and hockey skills during this program. Lots of fun for all. Dash & Splash - Swimming & Skating Lesson Combo - 2 Lessons for 1 Great Price: This is a great program that combines both activities in one trip to the facility. The first ½ hour is spent on the leisure ice with a skating instructor, parents then have 15 minutes to help their child get changed and head to the pool for a swimming lesson for the last ½ hour. Great deal and time saver. Ice Quest - Learn To Skate Program: These lessons are designed with the beginner in mind! Our six-step program offers an introduction into the world of ice-skating. ***Little Rascals Hockey: Learn basic hockey skills and play a real hockey game every class! Coaches will introduce your child to the game of hockey through a variety of fun drills. All participants must be able to skate on their own. All Little Rascal participants and their families from the 2012-2013 season are invited to the Wrap Up Party on March 21st from 5:45-7:45pm, please register each family member that will be attending this free event at the front desk. **Coolest Game on Earth – Intro to Hockey: If you have never played ice hockey this is the program for you. Learn basic hockey skills and have fun. All participants must be able to skate on their own. **Hockey 101 (aka puck shooting lessons): Is your Minor Hockey player craving “extra ice time”? This popular fast paced after school program includes all aspects of hockey. Passing,

shooting, skating, stick handling and organized drills similar to those in practice, will help to elevate their game to the next level. This program sells out quickly so don’t miss out. Participants must have previous hockey experience for this program.**Women’s Intro to Hockey: The purpose of this program is to introduce women to the basic skills, to make new friends and to try the game without having to make a commitment to the entire season. Program will take place on the Leisure Ice. **Adult Learn to Play: Come and experience the game of hockey like never before! Our qualified instructors will instruct the basic skills in a fun, creative, non-competitive and non-contact environment. Each session will include supervised instruction and plenty of game play.

Program will take place on the Leisure Ice.Private Lessons (all ages welcome): Want to learn how to skate or work on your hockey skills?
