We hope you find the information in this 2014/15 Community Wellness and Recreation Guide useful in providing you enough information to get your entire family involved in leisure activities and lead a healthy active lifestyle. Our cancellation line for storm closures will be used once again this season (623-2333). Please check the line if you are unsure if a program will be running during inclement weather. The staff will be making a decision based on the weather information provided by Environment Canada and putting the cancellation on the line as soon as possible. Also, for daily schedule information on what is happening in our facilities, you can call our information line at 623-2323. I would like to take this opportunity to send out a huge “Thank You” to the volunteer community non- profit groups for offering their valuable knowledge, skills and time to offer activities and sports to the community. Thank you as well for providing us the information on these activities so we can introduce you to them in this brochure and on our website. We are always looking to meet the needs of our patrons and welcome your comments and suggestions, as they are invaluable. You can contact our department in person at our office at 94 General Manson Way, by phone at 623-2300 or email us at [email protected]. Your comments and concerns are logged, investigated and used to help us improve our services. You will receive a response from a member of the staff so long as you leave your contact information. Thank you for taking time to explore your options for 60 minutes of physical activity per day that is required to earn the health benefits! Wellness Week NB will be held October 1-7, 2014.
