PREVIEW 3

Arts (LEISURE

Complex ready for Christmas

Neil Rachynski
NEWS REPORTER

A Castlegar tradition is in the
works.

The Castlegar and District
Recreation Complex is getting the
ball rolling for a community sing-
along Monday.

Recreation co-ordinator Susan
Campbell is helping residents or-
ganize a_ city-wide
Christmas caroling
event that will have
neighbors joined in song.

“T’ve contacted people
at the Community Pride
locations,” Campbell
said. “They can put the
owness on the communi-
ty as a whole if they want
to get their neighbors out
for some caroling,

“This is an opportuni-
ty to start a tradition in
our community.”

In lieu of Partici-
paction, a Community
Pride event was held in
May. Some 16 locations
were set up in the Castle-
gar area as designated
sites for events to en-
hance pride in the com-
munity.

Campbell contacted
people in these areas, en-
couraging them to get in
touch with their neigh-
bors to head out for some
singing.

Campbell said by des-
ignating 16 areas around
town people are more
likely to participate than

1) Alabama - American Pride
2) Garth Brooks - Beyond the Season
3) Billy Ray Cyrus - Some Gave All
4) Vince Gill - | Still Believe
5) George Strait - Pure Country

if just one location was used.

“People don’t want to leave their
neighbors,” . Campbell _ said.
“They’re more likely to go caroling
with their friends in their own
neighborhood.”

Campbell emphasized that she
is only facilitating the caroling
event, and it’s up to local residents
to organize themselves and their

TOP 10 VIDEOS

2) Sister Act
3) Housesitter
4) Patriot Games
5) Universal Soldier

neighbors.

“Anyone can do it, and anyone
can organize it by calling their
neighbors,” Campbell said.

“There’s lots of closet singers
out there that would like to get out
and don’t have a chance.”

The caroling is set for Monday
from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The locations around the city

are Kinnaird Park, Cone Hill
Park, 1st Avenue Park, Brandson
Park, Kinsmen Park, Woodland
Park School, Lakeview Park,
Grosvenor Park, Valley Vista
School, Kinnaird Middle School,
Oglow Park, Zuckerberg Island
(meet at the bridge), Twin Rivers
Elementary School, West Koote-
nay Power Park (across from
Castlegar Bicycle and Sport
Shop), 9th Avenue Park and
the recreation complex.

Lyric sheets for the carols
can be picked up at the com-
plex.

Meantime, a host of other
seasonal activities are
planned over the holidays.

Exercise buffs can work
off those perilous holiday
goodies during the Boxing
Day Fitness Blitz. The aero-
bics session will run from 2
p.m. to 3 p.m.

One Dec. 27, head to the
arena at the complex for a
free skate from 2 p.m. to 3:30
p.m.

Z If you can’t wait till then

j to get active, take advantage
of Loonie Week. All fitness
classes are just one dollar
from now to Friday.

“It’s kind of a thank-you to
our regular participants, and
eneouragement for other
people to try something
new,” Campbell said.

“It’s an incentive for peo-
ple to come out and try the
classes,” she said. “What
have they got to lose, other
than a few pounds.”
