The Complex Pool is having some capital renovations done therefore, the Pool is closed from Sept. 6 – 18, 2011 to complete these capital maintenance items in order to serve our members & program participants better in the years to come.

--SPIKES Volleyball –for youth ages 5-15. Learn fun & basic skill development on Monday & Friday afternoons from 4:00 – 6:00 pm in the Complex Gym. Ontario Volleyball has modified the game to make it more youth friendly. Playing 3 per side, everyone gets to touch the ball. The ball is softer, so it doesn't hurt your arms, and the net is lower. The drills and games are designed so that everyone has lots of fun and learns volleyball skills like never before!
