Preschool GymnasticsBetween 2 and 3 years of age humans have acquired between 80 and 85% of their lifetime learn-ing. Our preschool program consists of a 9 level system which will include reports and badges. All classes except parent and tot require the child to be capable of working independently with the coach. Parents may assist with the independent 2-3 year old classes until the child's comfort level

allows separation (3-4 weeks). After this period parents are asked not to participate in the class. You are welcome to leave for a coffee or observe from upstairs. This will greatly facilitate your child's

independent development.

Parent & Tot - C(1 - 3 years)Chimo’s Parent and Tot class is a child-directed, yet structured discovery of the fundamental movement patterns of gym-nastics. Caregivers lead little ones through the circuits and coaches give active direction, feedback, and encouragement to parents and participants to ensure they get the very most out of their first gymnastics ex-perience. Parents must dress to actively participate. No prereq-uisite required.

independent Tots - C(2 - 3 years) A new offering for Chimo, this program promotes independent learning in a safe and structured environment. Children must be able to work without their par-ents by the third or fourth week, otherwise we recommend mov-ing to a parent & tot class. In the proper setting children at this age progress very rapidly. Pre-requisite- Parent and Tot Mondays

Courtenay Riverway

HighlightsCourtenay Riverway Airpark is part of a unique area featuring an estuary, lagoon, tidal flats and salt marsh, as well as a Sitka spruce forest and Garry oak ecosystem being restored by the Comox Valley Naturalists Society. Low tide exposes an extensive tidal flat encompassing the entire Courtenay River estuary.

The estuary is an important bird area as many species of water birds, including Trumpeter Swans, overwinter there. Eagles, herons and various water birds can be seen year-round and seals regularly travel and fish for salmon in the river. Shooting stars and marsh hollyhock grow in the marsh.

SeasonsSpring for flowers; Late autumn for fish & seals; Winter for waterbirds; Summer for low tide & intertidal life.

LocationThe Airpark is accessed from Cliffe Avenue and 20th Street and also from Cliffe Avenue and Mansfield Drive in Courtenay.

The Airpark’s flat paved walkway is suitable for baby strollers and wheelchairs. The Airpark loop is 1.8 kilometres. The trail south to Millard Road is 1.5 kilometres one-way.

Puntledge and Morrison Greenways

HighlightsThe Puntledge and Morrison Greenways are connected and also further connect to Rotary Riverside Trail and Masters Greenway.Puntledge Park is a great place to watch spawning salmon. The pink salmon run begins in late summer, followed by chinook in September, chum in October and coho towards the end of October. While the salmon are making their way upstream, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures and gulls flock to the river to feast on the carcasses.

At different times of the year plants such as wild ginger, trillium, pink fawn lily and bleeding hearts can be seen nestled beneath the trees.

Explore peaceful streams and lush rainforest at Morrison Nature Park. Waterways protect many species of salmon, trout and lamprey. The Morrison Creek Lamprey, found only at Morrison Creek, is considered endangered.

Yellow-flowering skunk cabbages light up the muddy, marshy sections of the park in the early spring.

Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western redcedar and Sitka spruce are part of a mixed forest that also includes bigleaf maple and red alder

Watch for woodland birds such as Pileated and Hairy Woodpeckers, Pacific Wrens and Varied Thrush. At night it’s possible to hear a Western Screech Owl.

SeasonsSpring for flowers; late summer & autumn for spawning salmon; year-round for woods.

LocationAccess Puntledge Greenway from Puntledge Park on First Street in Courtenay and Morrison Greenway from the park entrance at 2150 Embleton Crescent or from either Lake Trail Middle School or Puntledge Park School.

This trails are mostly flat with short hills, bridges, and steps down to river.

National Volunteer Week is happening from April 6 to 12, 2014. Volunteers play such an important role in our community, with countless organizations and events depending on generous indi-viduals donating their time and expertise. The Mile of Flowers is just one example. Every year, hundreds of community members come together to plant flowers along Cliffe Avenue, beautifying the main entrance into our city. This year, the Mile of Flowers happens Tuesday, May 27 starting at 5 pm. At Courtenay Recreation, volunteers help with many recreation pro-grams and services. Anyone aged 14 or over can volunteer, includ-ing students, seniors, people seeking work experience, or anyone looking for a meaningful way to contribute to their community. The Evergreen Club at the Florence Filberg Centre is also always on the lookout for volunteers to help with kitchen duties, special events, and more. The Comox Valley is blessed to have many generous, caring, and talented volunteers, but there’s always a need for more. Courtenay Recreation and many other organizations and service clubs would love to hear from you. Thank you to our volunteers; you help make our community a great place to live.

Smiles & Healthy Lifestyles!
