REC REPORT: The season of giving

On Monday, Nov. 28, Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) will be holding a food bank day at both the arena and aquatic centre.

The Grand Forks Aquatic Centre has been a very busy place on Saturday mornings.

We are coming up to the final session this Saturday but let’s not be disappointed. We are now taking registrations for the winter session, which will start Jan. 28.

If you register before Dec. 31, you will receive a 10 per cent discount off the 2012 rates.

For all those parents and grandparents out there, we have made your Christmas shopping just a little easier for you. You can register the kids over the phone or come in and check out the great deals.
