North Van Rec Pool & Play Pass<br /><br />The website is: www.nvrc.ca/poolandplay<br /><br /> <br />Our Pool & Play pass was such a huge success over the summer, we’ve brought it back for the holiday season!<br />During the winter school holidays children aged 3-18yrs can enjoy unlimited access to public swimming, skating and open gymnasium sessions for only $5!!! Accompanying parents pay the family rate – just $2.78.<br /> <br />The pass goes on sale November 23rd and is valid from December 18th, 2015 to January 3, 2016.<br /> <br />Does not include fitness classes, access to fitness centres or skate & helmet rentals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997478802229746919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266549091741032698.post-86485941447030592332015-11-23T11:15:02.506-08:002015-11-23T11:15:02.506-08:00DPAC Reps and PAC Chairs,

These can of course be included in the cuts that will be implemented as part of the $6m in cuts for next year.David Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391455394526266976noreply@blogger.com
