Some programs that return after a popular first-time run in the winter include Zumbini for children up to age four, Carousel Players Drama School, Youth Sports Training with the FitLight Technology, Intro to Rug Hooking, Engage As You Age – TRX for those 50-plus, and more.
The City is also proud to continue its partnership with Brock Niagara Penguins, to bring back one of its parasport programs - Boccia. The program, for anyone ages seven and up, promotes accessibility and inclusion in sport and will teach people of all ages and abilities how to play.
