Smiles & Healthy Lifestyles!The more I hear about The LINC Youth Centre, the more im-pressed I am with their programs and services for youth in our community. Their Leaders In Training (LIT) program is just one example. This initiative helps develop leadership skills for youth aged 13 to 17 through a variety of workshops, including team building, games, activities, behaviour management, and skills training. In addition to skills, they accumulate volunteer hours they can use towards their graduation credits.This fall, our Leaders in Training will put their training into prac-tice by planning and building The LINC’s Halloween Haunted House. Bring the family down to see the results of their hard work; see page 46 for more details. They even have a special “half the fright, double the fun” night on October 31 just for young ones, right after Courtenay Recreation’s Halloween Pa-rade and Party.To learn more about Leaders in Training, see page 46.Whatever your age or ability, Courtenay Recreation has pro-grams and activities for you. Please look through the pages of this Recreation Reporter, and visit our friendly staff at the Flor-ence Filberg Centre and the Lewis Centre to find out more.

Courtenay Recreation

The Rotary Trail is a hard-surface gravel “rail with trail” along the E & N rail corridor in Courtenay. The first three phases are complete, connecting 5th to 21 Street - a distance of over one kilometre.

A fourth phase connecting 21st to 26th Street is under construction August to September of 2014. The expected completion is October 2014. The City of Courtenay is working on the trail in partnership with the Island Corridor Foundation and the Courtenay Rotary Club. Additional funding has come from TELUS and the Government of Canada through the Gas Tax Fund.

The Island Corridor Foundation’s goal is to expand multi purpose use of the rail corridor, and they are actively working with other local governments bordering the corridor to develop similar projects. Their long-term goal is a trail along the length of the rail corridor, stretching 234 kilometres.

For more information: [email protected] or community services at 250-334-4441
