New Curling Coach!
A note to everyone that we have a new coach for curling. His name is Chris Rosendale, and he can be reached at chrisrosendale2015.We are curling almost every Thursday, 3:30-5:00, at the Nanaimo Curling Club.
Everyone is welcome, but if you plan to come out please check with Chris that there is a practice. As you all know, sometimes coaches cancel practices because of long weekends, the Holiday break, or other reasons. |

| Active Start Looking for More Athletes!
A reminder to everyone that our Active Start program runs Mondays at Departure Bay Elementary, 5:30-6:30. Our head coach is Angelina Passarelli, Angelinap1921.
Active Start is a family-centred activity program for children with an intellectual disability ages 2-6. Through the program, children learn basic motor skills such as walking, running, jumping, balancing and throwing in a fun and safe environment.
It is designed for younger athletes to learn and grow at their own pace through fun. As the weeks progress we work to build on and further develop various skill sets; while offering an introduction to team sports such as soccer, T-ball, track and field. |

| Bad Weather Reminder
As the weather changes we want to remind everyone about our winter weather policy. It’s really easy to remember that if there’s snow, Special Olympics is a No Go! We want everyone to remember safety first when the weather is poor. |
