Post regarding parks and recreation programs available in the Half Moon Bay community area.
This Saturday, November 29th at 10am, the Minto Recreation Complex will officially open its doors!
A ribbon cutting will take place at the back entrance of the building at 10 a.m., and is open to the public. At the event, residents will have the opportunity to register for programs to be offered at the facility in the winter of 2015, enjoy a complimentary skate from 10:45am to 2pm, take a tour of the pool, meeting rooms and fitness rooms, and try out different sports in the gymnasium.

You can show up for as much or as little time as you're available, any hands can help! Please contact Lisa Noseworthy, Director of Events, at events@hmbca.ca to register. (Walk-ups on the day of are also always welcome).
Along with the announcement of a new Public Elementary school for Half Moon Bay, the Ontario Ministry of Education announced that funding for a new Catholic Elementary School has been approved for Half Moon Bay as well! Last year St. Cecilia at Greenbank Rd. & Cambrian Rd. opened with portables due to high enrolment. The new school will help alleviate that pressure.
Our Zone's OCSB Trustee Alison Baizana confirmed that the school will open in September 2016 with Kindergarten to Grade 6, and is expected to be located in the Rivermist Rd. and Dundonald Dr. area.
