This fall, Recreation Commission No. 5 is commissioning the development of a Recreation Master Plan for our region. The purpose of this is to determine the factors that ensure the best possible delivery of sports and recreation services within our area. This includes fields, facilities, programs, coordination, support and anything else that involves sport and recreation. This is a very good thing.
The Nelson Regional Sports Council will advocate on behalf of sport groups in this process while ensuring that all known local sport groups also be consulted.
In order to do this, all sport group reps are encouraged to attend the sports council’s annual general meeting to make sure relevant concerns, perspectives and ideas are voiced so that accurate representation of the sport community is maintained. The meeting takes place June 21 starting at 6 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce meeting room.
The BC Provincial Gymnastics Championships were held in Langley in April. The three-day event was attended by 16 Glacier Gymnastics club athletes.
Many of the local participants were crowned provincial champions and podium finishers, with others finishing no lower than tenth place. This level of success by a small community at a provincial event speaks volumes for the quality of programs and coaching at the Glacier Gymnastics club. The club’s year-round programs and summer camps offer both recreational and developmental levels. This summer programs are offered from July to August. Recreational level camps are for ages four and up, cost $59 and run for six weeks. Developmental camps and full day programs are also available on select weeks. For dates, details and registration spots available go to glaciergymnastics.com
