Winter Wonderland
The theme of the winter 2014 Activity Guide is “winter wonderland” because we at Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services truly believe that winter is a time of wonder and beauty. Welcome to winter! Welcome to a wonderland of snow, tobogganing, skiing, sledding, and cozy nights by the fire. This year, return to the simple joys that a yard full of snow can bring. Grab your skis, snowshoes, skates, sled or snowman making kit and get outside!
“If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good” -Dr. Seuss

Sandra Cooper
The past 5 years have seen Sandy transition from a diagnosis of breast cancer, treatment, enrollment into the Sensational Survivors exercise program to an “aging athlete” with the Spirit Warriors dragon boat team. Sandy believes that the TCC monthly track pass is the best value in town and provides a wonderful social environment to motivate her to stay active during the winter months. Walking at the TCC indoor track and fitness classes including Zumba and yoga keep Sandra busy and active in the winter months and exercising in the winter is necessary to keep fit for summer dragon boating season. Sandra feels that after living and working in Ontario for her whole life, moving to Kamloops has been like retiring to a southern resort. She loves looking out at the surrounding mountains on winter mornings and knowing that that a wide range of options are available both indoors and out to keep her active. Sandra looks forward to trying snowshoeing this year!

Welcome Message
And if the outdoors still does not call to you, perhaps it’s an opportunity to explore the amazing indoor activities available: the Tournament Capital Centre gyms, pools and track, test out the experience of a fitness class offered at many of the facilities around the City, go skating at one of the arenas, learn something new at the Museum, or get creative in one of the many arts and culture programs available. Winter is not a time to hibernate; it is a time to explore!
