Registration Policies & Guidelines
Uh-oh, we had to cancel:
Regrettably, if a minimum number of registrants is not met, we may have to cancel or combine classes due to insufficient registration. These decisions are made prior to the course start date. Please register early to avoid disappointment. A 100% refund is granted when we cancel a program. When a class has been cancelled due to instructor illness or weather conditions, a class will be added on at the end of the session. If this is not possible, you will be issued a refund in the amount of the missed class.
Oops, changed your plans?:
A refund will be issued if we receive applicable withdrawal notification. Programs, lessons, camps and certification courses require seven (7) or more days’ notice prior to course start date. If appropriate notice is not given, no refund will be issued. There may be other exceptions to these guidelines. In some cases, these exceptions will be noted in the individual course description. To request a refund, please contact the facility that is offering your program. All refunds are subject to a $5 processing fee.
Extended Illness / Injury and Missed Classes:
Please stay at home when you’re sick, even if symptoms are mild. In cases of extended illness or injury, a prorated refund may be granted upon provision of a medical note. Classes missed due to vacation, or other reasons will not be refunded.
Sorry, the course is full:
If a program is full, please ask staff to put your name on our waitlist. We will do our best to accommodate those waitlisted.

What is Physical Literacy?
Physical Literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. (The International Physical Literacy Association, May 2014)
Physical activity is a lot more fun when we’re physically literate. If we want children to be active for life, they need to develop physical literacy at a young age. Physicalliteracy.ca offers coaches, recreation professionals and health practitioners access to a wide range of resources that can help people become physically literate.

How Stress Impacts the Hippocampus
The hippocampus is a fascinating part of the brain with many roles, especially related to memory and stress. Chronic stress can make it harder to remember facts or recent events by impairing the hippocampus. Long-term stress can shrink the hippocampus and decrease the production of new neurons, which affects learning and mood.

The Brain’s Happy Hour
Laughter is a fascinating and powerful tool for enhancing brain health! When you laugh, your brain releases a cocktail of neurotransmitters like dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin, which can boost your mood and relieve stress. Laughter can be a wonderful catalyst for personal growth and strengthening relationships.

Ayurveda for Organ Health & Emotional Balance
Ayurveda teaches that our emotions live in the body, with each organ carrying its own “emotional memory.” Over time, unbalanced feelings can affect physical health, just as a tired body can cloud the heart and mind. In this workshop, you’ll learn to read your body’s messages, understand the link between emotional and organ health, and work with food, herbs, breathwork, and daily rhythms to restore harmony.

Learn how to better understand your dog and its individual personality in this class that is ideal for puppies or mature dogs. Our instructor owns K9 Focus Training Services and has taught group classes for 25+ years on South Vancouver Island. Learn how to train your dog to understand commands for useful obedience behaviours, such as walking on leash without pulling, to sit, lie down, and to come when called. Other necessities in this program include gaining good social skills, learning to be comfortable in a group environment, and bark and bite inhibition. The instructor’s experience allows her to focus in on you and your dog’s needs, personalizing training techniques and enabling you to create a rewarding, interactive relationship with your dog.
