We are excited for the
2012 Spring Active Guide, which is
filled with great programs and services
available as we begin to plan for the
warmer months ahead. We have expanded
the fitness programs and our popular
summer Kids Club camp and we continue to
offer a variety of times for aquatic fun
and learning.
We are really excited to
be able to offer a new public swim
program, Toonie Mondays. These are
designed to encourage participation by
reducing the fee and promoting the fun
and health benefits that swimming
provides. We anticipate many people
will enjoy taking time for a swim on
Toonie Monday!
Another great opportunity
to stay active is skating throughout the
spring and summer at the PCU Centre. We
will continue to offer Shinny hockey
times and free public skate in the
Portage Mutual Arena.
It is hard to believe
that we are embarking on the second
anniversary of the PCU Centre, as it was
two years ago on February 27, 2010 when
we first opened the doors publicly. We
have endured many changes and have
worked hard to provide the best possible
recreation facilities and services to
Portage and region. One recent change
has been our farewell to Mr. Dave Green
who had served as our Facility
Operations Manager since we started the
PCU Centre project. Dave’s expertise,
professionalism and extreme work ethic
has greatly contributed to this legacy.
We sincerely thank him for everything he
has done in providing a safe and
wonderful community place for us to
enjoy. We wish him well as he returns
to his full time position with the City
of Portage la Prairie as Parks Manager.
We are also pleased to welcome Mr. Randy
Miller, our new Facility Operations
Manager to the PRRA team and we look
forward to working with him.
There are many reasons to
visit and explore what is available at
the PCU Centre. We look forward to
seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Sarna, Executive Director
