Stay Active with New Recreation and Cultural Programs
10 January 2007
The City of Richmond Recreation and Cultural Services Department offers a wide range of experiences for you to stay active this winter.
Registration is underway at local community facilities with programs for people of all ages, including Ballet, Basketball, Yoga, Swimming, Skating, Walking and Heart Wellness. These programs and others have been designed to encourage people in the community to get moving and keep moving.
“We’re trying our best to provide more opportunities to support the City’s commitment to increase physical activity by 20 per cent by 2010,” says Carol Lepine, Fitness and Wellness Coordinator. “The Getting Richmond Moving” initiative is all about getting more people physically active.”
This year’s winter programming includes a variety of classes to get you active as well as special events, educational opportunities and cultural experiences to exercise your mind. The Fall/Winter Recreation and Culture Guide offers programs from September through to March.
Registration for recreational programs is easy to do and is available 24-hours a day, seven days a week. You can conveniently register for any program by using one of four methods: the Internet, the Registration Call Centre, your touch-tone telephone, or in-person at local community facilities.
You can register online, or if you prefer a touch-tone telephone, users can register anytime by phoning 604-276-4300 and following voice prompts. Customers can also sign up for programs offered at any civic facility through the City’s Registration Call Centre by dialing 604-276-4300, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and pressing “0” for a Customer Service Agent.
In addition, the popular Recreation & Culture Guide is available at all civic facilities, local Safeway and Save On Foods stores.
