Winter 2026 Community Programs and Seasonal Events

The Community Services Department is gearing up for a season full of opportunities to get active, learn something new, and build connections in our community! We have you covered for winter fun. Whether you’re looking to swim, skate, climb, or play — there’s always something happening to help you connect with your community.

Culture and Recreation Programs

The Culture and Recreation Team is offering plenty of ways to stay active and engaged, including Lil’ Chef, Spring Break Camp, NID Camp on January 30 and KidZone drop-in during Adult Volleyball (a parenting win!). Plus, winter volleyball league is launching, and we now have three different leagues – men’s, ladies and co-ed.
