Community SOCCER creates a wonderful opportunity to meet your neighbours—we verify everyone’s address to team up athletes in their own neighbourhoods (depending on volunteer coaches, their next nearest neighbourhoods). Community leagues support community soccer so grab your membership and apply before Feb 29!

It’s a sunny day, I wish we could just walk over to the pool for a mid-day swim. Memories…
Little FOSR update: it has come up numerous times, but now is the part of the design phase where we get to name the building. The proposal is for the naming committee to consider the Kiviaq Rec Centre. Kiviaq (previously known as David C Ward) was an alderman and athlete and first Inuk lawyer, whose house still stands across the street from the proposed construction site.
