The City of Campbell River has released its Winter/Spring Recreation Guide, covering January to May programming at the Campbell River Community Centre and the Sportsplex, as well as events throughout the city.

The guide is available online now at Campbell River Recreation Guide, and registration opens at 8 a.m. on Friday, December 15th.

Register online, in person at the Campbell River Community Centre or Sportsplex, or by calling 250-286-1161 or 250-923-7911.

The City recently completed a rate and fees review of all user fees within the city, which included rec fees.

It was the first rate and fees review in over 10 years and, as a result, some rates have gone up, some rates have gone down and some categories have been removed.

As of January 1st, fitness memberships will now include fitness classes, yoga classes, the weight room, squash, and racquetball courts, pickleball, badminton, drop-in basketball, soft tennis and table tennis.

Robin Mitchell, Recreation and Culture Manager, says the guide has familiar favourites as well as some new activities, from Family Day and Youth Carnival Night to the return of Seedy Saturday, beginner lessons for pickleball, knitting, trail riding and Nordic Pole Walking.
