Now that the City has taken full responsibility for the MacBain Community Centre this also includes the indoor pools. I am eager to introduce new and exciting programs at the pools for Coronation members and the community. We have hired an aquatic supervisor and together we will dive right in (ha ha) and bring back the much loved aqua fitness with Tammy. We are also going to be introducing a new 'Therapeutic Aqua Class' focusing on strengthening and stretching hip, knees and back. In addition we will be offering to the community lane swims, family swims, parent & tot swims and much more.
More details coming soon of registration dates for Coronation Aqua Fit. We anticipate to start mid March.
Volunteer Greeters Needed
We are looking for volunteers who can help out with greeting our members at MacBain. Come and join the fun and frolics as we embark on this new adventure together. Duties include, welcoming Coronation members, directing members to program rooms as well as the payment desk, and answering general answering enquiries
The shifts are approximately three hours per week (morning or afternoon) on the same day each week. Greeters will be sat at a desk with not much, if any walking involved. We are trying to team up two greeters on any given shift.
Please email the Centreif you are interested in volunteering.
Looking for particularly a Friday morning or afternoon.
We can't wait to hear from you and thank you in advance.
Here's to brighter and warmer days ahead. I look forward to seeing everyone at MacBain.
