This Week in Recreation: June 22, 2022

THANK YOU!

Thank you for making Spring Sports such a success this year! Thank you to the wonderful kids, parents and coaches for participating in another exciting season of Spring Sports.

We couldn't have done it without the help of our volunteer coach Chris Hall, Tim Hortons for sponsoring our Tim Bits league and RL Angus school for the use of their field.

Thank you Tyler Wall and Tracey Clarke with Save-On Foods for attending and providing hot dogs, drinks and snacks for everyone at our end of the year Spring Sports Roundup.

We look forward to having you back next year!
