With spring activities officially underway, sport clubs and participants need to be prepared for the inevitable spring rainouts and schedule changes. All things considered, however, it feels good to be outside and feel the spring sun and breeze on our skin as we bike, run and play.
The Nelson Rowing Club will be running its Learn to Row program starting in May with six two-hour lessons. Registration cost is $170. All lessons are on the water and all equipment is provided. Participants must be able to swim. Please call Sophie De Pauw at 250-505-5231 or email: sophiacles@yahoo.com

When the Rick Hansen relay team was here many of them commented on the community spirit they witnessed here in our region. They were clearly touched by the reception they (personally and team) and the medal bearers received. They were truly grateful to the communities for totally embracing the Many in Motion concept.
Realizing and acknowledging local difference makers and their impact on our communities was always the focus of 25th anniversary tour.
So, on the heels of that event please show your support for Nelson’s 11th annual Relay for Life event on Saturday June 16 at Lakeside Park from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
