October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Statistics show that one in eight Canadian women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Discovering how lifestyle choices affect cancers is important in personal prevention.

Eating certain foods or doing a specific exercise unfortunately doesn’t prevent cancer. However, eating well, being active and maintaining a healthy body weight does decrease personal risk.

Dietitian Sarah Densmore offers her services every month by providing a free Blood Pressure, dietary and healthy living clinic in the lobby of the Aquatic Centre. Take advantage of her knowledge and services Monday, Oct. 23 from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and Tuesday, Oct. 24 from 9 a.m.to 10:30 a.m.. Sarah can help to identify ways of improving lifestyle choices toward cancer prevention.

Now that all your little hockey players are back on the ice and into the fall routine, Kevin Horne would like to invite you and your child to a six-week conditioning and hockey skills program.

This program will give you extra time on the ice during the conditioning training along with hockey skill development.

The program will run from Nov. 3 to Dec. 15 on Fridays, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. The fee for six sessions is just $50 per person. There will be no session on Nov. 10.

Deadline for registration is Oct. 30.

Halloween is fast approaching and the staff at the Grand Forks Aquatic Centre would like to invite your family to the pool for a Boo Bash. Come check out the costumes, enjoy Boo Bash games and activities. The toonie swim will take place on Thursday, Oct. 26 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
