403-268-3800, option #1

Winter Recreation programming to help families beat the cold weather. The City of Calgary‘s Winter 2015 Recreation Program Guide is now on stands to help families create, play and be active together. With more than 12,000 registered programs and 55,000 drop-in opportunities, there is no shortage of ways to stay active this winter. This year, we’ve highlighted programs and opportunities for families to be active together throughout the guide. Look for the ‘Family Time’ symbol to find something that suits you and your family, whether its skating, rock climbing, dance or making pottery. When you do these activities together, it’s not just about the fun you’ll have, but about the example you’re setting. Parents are the best role models for living a physically active life, and when parents have active lifestyles, children are more likely to be active for life. Families that play together increase their children’s feelings of self worth, increase physical health and wellness, reduce stress and build stronger family bonds.
