Rossland REC Spring Brochure
The REC Department will start working on the Spring Brochure and if you’re interested in submitting a program or course, the deadline for the Spring Brochure is March 1, 2014.
The brochure will hopefully be available to the public online, by the third week of March. Typically our Spring Brochure covers the months of April, May and June with many Rossland Pool details included.
Spring Break will run March 17-28. If you are interested in running a Spring Break Camp let us know as soon as possible so we can work out details and start advertising right away.
We are always happy to add information regarding community groups and resources in the Community Events & Info pages!

The Recreation Department will be working on that over the next two months, but in the meantime, you should take advantage of the development program offered through Trail Parks and REC.
