By Rossland Recreation
The Summer Brochure will be in the mailboxes this week and is available online, at www.rossland.ca.
The Rossland Pool is scheduled to open on Friday, June 1st at 2:30pm. Public swimming all afternoon, until closing at 6:00pm!
The Rossland Pool is looking for all local youth who currently hold the Bronze Cross Advanced Aquatic certification. We will be introducing a Jr. Lifeguard position at the Pool and are currently accepting applications for part time work throughout the summer. Please forward your resume to the Recreation Department at recreation@rossland.ca.
For the Teenagers in our Community, please consider taking your Advanced Aquatic Courses, in order to obtain employment in a challenging and rewarding field. Aquatics is a great way to work part time while you’re in High School and can help offset the cost of College or University. There is an increasing shortage in our area, of qualified Staff to operate our local, outdoor pools. If you’re thinking about your future employment options – GET CERTIFIED as quickly as possible. We need you! In order to be fully employable, you’ll need the following courses; Bronze Medallion, Bronze Cross, NLS, AWSI and WSI.
On Sunday, June 3 at 2:00pm the last Baby Massage class is being held in the Arena Lounge. The two hour class is a great way to learn the art of baby massage, which has been shown to help with fussiness, colic and sleeping while increasing the bonding between parent and child.
With Summer right around the corner, your “tweens” might be interested in taking the Babysitters Course. The dates have changed from those indicated on the front cover of the Brochure. The course is now being offered on Saturday, June 16 from 9:00-4:00pm.
