Coast Capital Savings Credit Union renews sponsorship

NEWS RELEASE - Distributed April 17, 2018 9:00 AM

The City of Nanaimo is pleased to announce there will be eleven free swims and skates available to the community in 2018, thanks to a generous $10,000 sponsorship package from Coast Capital Savings Credit Union. This donation will enable Parks and Recreation to offer one free skate session and one free swim session per month, including some unique activities such as a Star Wars-themed Skate & Stick 'n' Puck on Friday, May 4, two outdoor swims at Kin Pool this summer and a Skate with Santa in December.

"We are so excited to work with the Coast Capital Savings again this year. Their sponsorship priorities of youth, building communities and removing financial barriers is a perfect fit with Parks and Recreation," said Arenas Coordinator, Gary Paterson, "In addition to expanding our reach to families and youth in need, many people will get to try swimming and skating for the first time, which is fantastic."

The Random Acts of Recreation schedule is now available in the events section on www.nanaimo.ca.
