Recreation  

Recreation & Parks helps create a sense of community through its recreational and leisure programs, investing in youth and people of all ages and backgrounds.

They also work closely with the Recreation & Parks Advisory Committee, which advises City Council on recreation policy and programs.

See the 2011 Programs & Special Events brochure for highlights on upcoming recreational programs and events.
