White Rock Recreation and Culture Spring/Summer 2020 Recreation Guide

N U F L A C I HISTOR E ROCK

CITY OF WHIT

WE ALL KNOW THAT AS A CITY, WHITE ROCK IS PEERLESS. BUT IT SURE ISN’T PIERLESS! The pier we all know today was originally built in the summers of 1914 and 1915 but it was actually the third pier to grace the shores of Semiahmoo Bay. The second pier, built in 1913 for the Campbell River Lumber Company was near the mouth of the Little Campbell River.

All that remains of it are stumps of pilings, which you can see at low tide. White Rock’s very first pier, built about 1910 or 1911 was part of the White Rock Bath and Boat House located just east of the rock right on the beach. This 1912 photo shows the boat house and the walkway out to the pier which was a series of pilings and floating planks about 300 feet long. At the boat house you could rent a rowboat and bathing suit, and order a sandwich and a cup of tea for a perfect day at the beach.

Be sure to check out the White Rock Museum’s new exhibit late spring.

It’s all about the pier!

White Rock’s first pier at the ‘Bathing House’ was about 300 feet long.

The Campbell River Lumber Company mill pier was built in 1913 and was about one third longer than today’s pier.

White Rock pier was three years old when this photo was taken in August 1918.

Erin Dorfer Violin

As four-year-old Erin fell under the spell of a children’s symphony group concert, a spark ignited that would fuel a lifelong love of the violin and teaching. By five she was in lessons and went on to achieve two music degrees, play in a professional symphony, and pass that spark on to hundreds of children.

She is thrilled with her children’s orchestra, Peace Arch

White Rock Recreation and Culture

What is Jumpstart?

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities helps kids aged 4-18 years participate in organized sports and physical activity by providing financial assistance for registration fees.

Participating in sport helps kids develop physical and social skills. It helps build self-esteem. By helping kids get into the game, we’re equipping them with determination. And we’re giving them confidence.

Does my child qualify?

Families must meet financial need criteria in order to qualify for Jumpstart funding. Jumpstart follows Revenue Canada’s Low Income Cut-offs (LICOs) which are based on a family’s size, the size of their community and the total family unit income (before tax).

Where do I apply?

Jumpstart funding application forms are available online at www.whiterockcity.ca and at each of our recreation centres: White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) Centennial Park Leisure Centre (14600 North Bluff Rd.) Kent Street Activity Centre (1475 Kent St.)
