The end of the year also means that it is time for our Annual General Meeting, which will take place at 6:30 pm on April 27, 2015. The entire community is welcome and encouraged to at- tend. The meeting will be relatively brief but is an opportunity to put faces to the names of those hard working souls men- tioned in this article. It also represents a chance for members of the community to learn about what is going on at the club, and most importantly provide your feedback as to how we are doing. There have been some topics that have been new and at times controversial over the past year. We rolled out the volunteer bond. While raising money is always a concern at RVCC, we do not believe achieving our operating funds should be entirely driven by increased fees. The volunteer bond was designed to generate volunteers. We did achieve that goal, but not without some bumps in the road. Admittedly, the roll out of the Bond was confusing at times. We have endeavoured to streamline the process for the upcoming year. We appreciate your feedback in that regard. It should be noted that if you paid a volunteer bond in the Fall, you are NOT required to pay another in the spring. We have appreciated your patience and for those who have completed your hours, the enthusiastic continued on page 9... 4 RIVERVIEW REFLECTOR SPRING 2015 Garage Sales 2015 ...continued from page 3

By Dennis Cunningham he 2nd Annual Frost Bite River Run, presented by IBEX TPayroll, and hosted by the Riverview Community Centre was hugely successful with over 80 runners running almost five miles on Riverview streets and the Red River Mutual River Trail on January 25th. In 2014 runners were challenged by incredibly cold and windy conditions. This year our run- ners had to contend with icy conditions on the river trail created by three days of above zero temperatures (in Jan- u- ary?!!!). Who knows what next year will bring? That’s the beauty and the challenge of organizing a winter run, all you can do is be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. Even though the course conditions weren’t optimal, we had some extraordinary finishing times and everyone who participated should be pleased with their run results. Full results for the 2015 and 2014 Frost Bite River Runs can be viewed at http://frostbiteriverrun.ca. I’d like to thank the members of the race committee, Rhian Christie, Susan McMurrich and Tavia Nelson for contributing to this great event. I’d also like to thank all the volunteers who assisted with course marshalling, first aid, course set-up and

9 Annual Riverview CC 4on4 Back for More By Charles Musto

n February 6-7, the Riverview Community Centre held its Oannual 4 on 4 neighbourhood hockey tournament and it was another one for the books. The tournament, now in its 21st year, featured divisions for the young (19-35) and old (35+) and saw a lot of familiar faces. Eight teams in each division took to the ice, pitting current and former Riverview residents against each other in the ulti- The puck drops for some furious 4 on 4 action. mate competition for neighbourhood bragging rights.

In that respect, we feel the Bond has been successful. In the near future volunteer bond opportunities should be posted on the website for your convenience. As we look forward, there are some challenges ahead. We have been advised that the City will likely be cutting some funding that will impact our ability to fund all of our paid posi- tions. A committee has been struck to determine possible solu- tions to this unfortunate news. In order to fulfill our mandate to provide recreational programming for the community, we will need our community more than ever to meet these chal- lenges. In May, we expect to embark upon a fund-drive Blitz, whereby over a short period of time, volunteers will go door to door seeking donations from the neighbourhood. We need volunteers for this drive (Yes, it does count towards your volun- teer bond), which will occur either May 9th or the 23rd. Keep your eyes open for notice on the website, or at the AGM on the date for that event, or contact Charles at [email protected] or phone (204) 452-9944 for more information. I have no doubt that the year ahead will present many chal- lenges as we embark on renovations, and continue to try to improve your experience at the Club. I know that with the help of our dedicated key people and those who step up to volun- teer, there is no challenge that we will not be able to meet. 10 RIVERVIEW REFLECTOR SPRING 2015 11 JackRabbit Skiing: Saying Goodbye to Another Fine Season By Dennis Cunningham Photo: Cunningham Dennis The Riverview JackRabbits Skiing program recently wrapped up its 11th season.

The film, which focuses on Terry Sawchuk’s formative and put Riverview Community Centre's best foot forward. years in Winnipeg is a celebration of the Hall of Famer’s roots. Schur, who is a composer/lyricist/author and producer, is For two days, the Riverview Community Centre was the set best known for his musical “Strike!” which is about the 1919 of Sawchuk’s story. Schur chose to film at the club because of Winnipeg General Strike. He has a history of highlighting Mani- its character and how it fit with his period piece. The club was toba stories and Sawchuk’s story is up there with the best of thrilled to be a part of it. them. "My personal mission in life is to put flesh and blood on The filming drew interest from several media outlets includ- Winnipeg characters. I think we can learn so much by revisiting them," Schur told CBC. "There's all these characters from our history that we don't know, and they're right here. His mask is in the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame, and he died in 1970. People my age and younger don​'​t really know about him, so he's a prime candidate for bringing back our awareness." Sawchuk was born in Winnipeg in 1929 and was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings when he was only 14 years old. He enjoyed a 21 year career and played 971 regular season games with 447 wins. He won four Stanley Cups, four Vezina trophies, was an All-Star 11 times, ranked second on the all-time shutout list of 103 shutouts (this record wasn't beaten until 2009, by Martin Brodeur) and was named Manitoba's Player of the Cen- tury. The Detroit Red Wings retired his number - 1 - in 1994. In 1970, Sawchuk died of pulmonary embolism at the age of 40 when he sustained internal injuries during a fight with his roommate, New York Rangers teammate Ron Stewart. One year after his death, Sawchuk was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He is considered to be one of the greatest hockey goal- ies of all time and in Schur’s mind, the greatest hockey player that ever came from Winnipeg. Schur hopes to have the documentary ready by the next hockey season and is planning to hold the premiere at the Terry Sawchuk arena. The Riverview Community Centre is also hop- ing to host a screening when the film is done. 18 RIVERVIEW REFLECTOR SPRING 2015 Artist's Studio Sring Tour

There are incentive prizes based upon the number of dollars raised starting at $250. In addition, all cyclists receive Cycle on Life t-shirts and an after-ride lunch and are eligible to win a random prize draw. Spring is in the air and your bike tires probably need some air. After registering to participate in the Cycle on Life, you can take your bike to Olympia Cycle on St. Mary’s (326 St. Mary's Road) and they will give it a quick inspection and tell you if it’s ready to ride or recommend what needs to be repaired. This ride is great motivation to get the jump on the cycling season while knowing that you are doing some important work to help those dealing with Alzheimer’s/Dementia.

We are dedi- ent Winnipeg schools and four advisers have volunteered over cated to producing and selling a high quality, environmentally 3 hours a week each to create this company. We came up with friendly, and durable product to our customers through the use and decided upon various ideas, names, slogans, logos, and of the best materials available to us. even assembled a complete business plan. While volunteering that many hours for a project that seems small may appear to be a waste of time for some people, every- one at Hockey Knight Enterprises has enjoyed their experience so much that a couple of students are even considering going into business next year! The production stage for our product has probably been the most challenging part of this program, as we had to find shareholders to produce capital in order to be able to purchase the materials needed. While making a bottle opener from a hockey stick may not sound like a lot of work, it really is. For our process we needed to use a laser cutter and many other pieces of machinery and thanks to a non-profit Winnipeg workshop called AssentWorks that has allowed us the use of their work- shop’s amazing machinery to aid in our production process, we’ve been able to create The Wrister. We have also received a donation of sticks from our local NHL team, so if you’d like to purchase a limited edition Wris- ter with names like Perrault, Little, or Wheeler, contact us quickly as they’re likely to sell out soon!
