TRY-IT at CMRC - Nov 25-28, 2013

Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:

RBC Sports Day in Canada, presented by ParticipACTION, CBC and True Sport, will be held this year on Saturday, November 30 in communities from coast to coast to coast. This national celebration of sport, from grassroots to high-performance, is an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate the power of sport, build community and national spirit and facilitate healthy, active living.

The City of Williams Lake, in partnership with the Cariboo Regional District, has received a TRY-IT grant from ParticipACTION to provide lead up activities to sports day. Through this grant the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex is offering a number of free classes from November 25-28 for preschoolers, youth, adults and seniors. The goal is to give regional residents an opportunity to try a sample of programs regularly offered by the Complex. No need to register, no need to pay, just arrive at the Complex on time and join a class.

The schedule and program descriptions are below. For more information, please call the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 250-392- 7665.
