619 [PGBSC] Food drive

As in previous years we will be holding a holiday food drive on Friday December 20th and Saturday December 21st, we are asking each swimmer to bring one food bag donation on Friday evening or Saturday morning. Paper bags for the food donations have already been passed out to most groups. If your child has not received a bag they should receive one on Monday. We ask you or your child to print their name and group name on the bag in the space provided. Each swimmer who brings a donation will be entered in a draw to win a Pine Centre gift card and the swim group with the most food donations will also win a group prize. All food donations will be going to our local Salvation Army Food Bank.
If you have any questions feel free to talk to me, Julie Wing at the pool or email me at julieannewing@gmail.com

618 [PGBSC] Pool Disruption

Hi everyone,

With the city potentially going on strike as early as Friday afternoon, the club has been told the pool will be open Thursday and Friday.

Therefore, practices for Masters Thursday am and Swim School, D3 and D2C groups on Friday are still a go.

As for Saturday, there is the potential that the pool will be closed, which would affect the Masters practice.

As for next week and beyond, it's a wait and see what happens, situation.
