ASSINIBOIA — The hub of the community for almost seven full months will wrap up this weekend with Richardson Pioneer Jr. B Â鶹ÊÓƵern Rebels identification camp.
After extended hockey season resulting from playoff successes, along with SMAAAHL playoffs being rerouted to Â鶹ÊÓƵland Co-op Centre, Assiniboia residents are wondering what they will have to do next in the community before spring and summer activity resumes.
“We are sad to be nearing the end of the hockey season, with the final day on the ice being April 6,” Assiniboia’s Community Wellness and Recreation Director Steph VanDeSype says.
“We don't take much time to shift gears with minor ball preparing to start May 1, swimming lesson registration May 5, and first day at the pool June 7. Then into the wild summer.”
VanDeSype also affirms that while there are no plans for the first two weeks in April, other than preparing for a busy spring and summer, there still are plenty of options in Assiniboia.
Recreation volleyball, ping pong, pickleball, badminton and recreation basketball are still ongoing, with many of these activities free to participate.
The Â鶹ÊÓƵland Co-op Centre’s virtual room can help you start practising for golf season.
Looking at the Town of Assiniboia events calendar, Nerds Unite is still an activity held frequently at the Kay Cristo Room. Assiniboia’s Library continues with programming for people to take part in.
Olympia Theatre continues to offer reasonable prices for new release movies each weekend.
And, if nothing else, now that streets are drying up, it offers a great opportunity to go for a walk or ride and enjoy the spring air and great outdoors, and enjoy the sights and sounds of your home community. Or start the spring home purging to be ready for garage sale season.
