COURTENAY RECREATION WELCOME 2 Wondering how to keep your kids busy, entertained, and engaged this summer? I highly recommend the summer camp programs at Courtenay Recre- ation.

And for those of you with kids who have special needs, our friendly Courtenay Recreation staff will work with you on ways to best meet your child’s individual support needs. To learn more about summer programs, see page 17. Have a great summer! Bob Wells

Meet Taya, our 2019 Summer Aquatic Supervisor! We are excited to welcome Taya Bezanson back for another summer in her new role as Aquatic Supervisor. Taya has been a lifeguard and team leader at the out- door pool for four summers and started lifeguarding just over six years ago, working at multiple facilities in Kam- loops as well as the Comox Valley. After seven years as a competitive swimmer with the Sharks swim team, Taya transitioned into aquatics, where she has been working on building up her qualifications. Taya is looking forward to her new role and another exciting summer here at the outdoor pool.
