What does it mean to be physically literate?Being physically literate means being competent and confident in a variety of different move-ments over a variety of different environments. Children should not be specializing in one or two sports. In fact, they should be do-ing the exact opposite! By getting experience trying as many differ-ent types of sport and physical activity as possible, they improve their overall physical literacy and increase their chances of success in any given area. If your child wants to thrive in one sport, the best thing they can do is try as many as possible!

GOOD FOOD GOOD MOODWhat you eat directly affects every cell in your body, the structure and function of your brain and, ultimately, your mood. Multiple studies have found a correlation between a diet high in refined sug-ars and impaired brain function and symptoms of mood disorders, such as depression. Processed packaged pre-made products like refined cereals, candy, pastries, and low-fat dairy products can cause you to feel an unpleasant crash and may contribute to feel-ing anxious and depressed. Learn how Whole Foods and eating regular meals can help keep your blood sugar stable, give you a consistent supply of nutrients, and help maintain your mood through-out the day.Instructor: Alice Russel#9010 Thursday February 3

ATHLETIC BARREAthletic Barre has no ballet or yoga moves. The barre is used for balance and posture as in the “Above Barre” classes. However, it incorporates heavier weights, tubing and that little green bender ball to ensure you are activating your core properly. Some pow-er moves are incorporated but options for non-power moves will also be provided. This is an inter-mediate to challenging class that optimizes your strength.Instructor: Nancy Victoria#9149 Thursdays

YOGA FOR MEN OVER 50(who never thought they’d do Yoga)(50 years & over)You’ve seen the pictures of wom-en in pretzel poses, and you’ve thought, “No Yoga for me, thanks.” But maybe for years, your wife or female friends have been telling you how much you’d benefit from Yoga. This class is just for men over 50 who are new to Yoga. You’ll be in the same boat as everyone else as you gradually increase your flexibility. You’ll also learn some breathing techniques that reduce stress.

YIN YOGAYin yoga is a deep and peaceful practice using sustained, passive holds. Yin yoga is designed to target deeper connective tissues, fascia, and joints to improve your overall mobility and range of motion.

This is an all-levels class, and is appropriate for those new to yoga. No class March 12.Instructor: Wendy Davies#8867 Saturdays


YIN YOGA: POWER IN STILLNESSAre you on a fast train? Ready to get off and breathe? In Yin Yoga, you will enter poses - mostly on the floor - and stay a while observ-ing strong sensations, while allow-ing your breath to help you access deeper layers of dense connective tissue, like ligaments, tendons, and fascia. The long-held, passive poses will help you become more flexible, with juicier joints and better functioning organs. You might become calmer, and better able to focus: a gift in our world of constant distraction. Yin Yoga is an excellent complement to other forms of Yoga. Come home to your body in a profound and satisfying way.Instructor: Catherine Reid#8868 Fridays

Glen Urquhart CreekRehabilitationA rehabilitation project has been completed in the heart of a residential neighbourhood in east Courtenay.

Glen Urquhart Creek is an approximately 6-kilometre long stream with tributaries flowing through and around the Valley View neighbourhood, draining from this urban environment into agricultural lands before reaching the K’omoks Estuary.

The rehabilitation work focused on the section of the creek upstream of Thorpe Avenue and behind Finch Place with the goal of improving fish habitat and enhancing the riparian area. The placement of instream and shoreline structures, along with creation of rock riffles in the creek channel will help contribute to stabilizing the creek bank and footpath, increasing water quality and improving instream aquatic insect complexity.

Courtenay Recreation coordinates the use of all parks and school playing fields located in the City of Courtenay.

Field Closures: Fields may be closed due to weather conditions. We would appreciate your cooperation in not using the fields during these times.

Courtenay Recreation also books the Artificial Turf Field located at GP Vanier. Please note that only limited spaces are available.

Schools:• Arden• Mark Isfeld• Lake Trail• G.P. Vanier• Valley View• Huband Park• Queneesh El.• Courtenay El.• Puntledge Park

City Parks:• Bill Moore Park• Puntledge Park• Lewis Park• Valley View Park• Martin Park• Woodcote Park• Standard Park• Simms Park• Courtenay Riverway
