Lighting Upgrade Approved
Lighting Upgrade
We’re very happy to let the membership know that the lighting upgrade project for the Civic Centre gymnasium has been approved for funding. A new high efficiency LED system is being installed at the end of August! This will greatly improve the lighting of the gym space and be a huge improvement to the environment for the kids attending gymnastics!
Call For Volunteers
In order for the lighting work to take place, we must remove / dismantle most of the equipment in the gym. This is a huge undertaking that can’t be accomplished by the coaching staff alone. We once again are calling on our amazing family of volunteers to pitch in and help get the work done. Many hands make light work!
- Volunteer time for this project will count double.
- The hours will be applied to the upcoming season.
- You can request to have the hours applied to this past season by emailing Steve.
