The Access to Recreation Program has increased access to swimming lessons and facilities for local students at Winchester, Sprucecourt, Nelson Mandela, and Lord Dufferin schools.
The program’s success has been overwhelming, and its permanent status means more children can experience learning to swim. One key objective of Access to Recreation is to boost youth employment for local youth free workshops in resume writing, job application processes, interviewing and opportunities to gain pre-employment certifications such as CPR, first aid, aquatics & sports certifications.
The Access to Recreation Program continues to be a vital asset to our community, promoting physical wellness and valuable employment skills among our youth. Its impact is not just on the individual participants but the entire community, fostering a sense of pride and connection.
Our Encampment Dashboard provides updates encampments in parks, how we’re managing them, and outlines City’s new encampment protocol.
As your councillor, enhancing equitable access to recreation facilities has been a key priority. Just like you, I value the Moss Park Arena, our only indoor arena downtown, along with the vibrant outdoor Ice Rink in Regent Park.
Vibrant neighbourhoods have streets and sidewalks for residents to use and enjoy.
