GREETINGS FROM MAYOR CLIFFORD LEE
Summer is coming to an end, yet there
is still so much to see and do in the
City of Charlottetown. Our Parks and
Recreation Department has worked hard
to develop a lineup of programs to keep
you busy, well into the winter months.
Our mission statement challenges
us to deliver services to all citizens,
enhancing the quality of life for all. We
strive to make this City a fantastic place
to live, work and play.
Within this brochure, you’ll find a wide variety of sport and leisure activities
that will appeal to all ages. I trust that you will find activities that are of interest
to you.
Many of the programs and services , within this brochure, contribute to
creating a more healthy, vibrant and sustainable City for future generations that
compliment the values and quality of life that we all cherish here in the Capital
City.
The Parks and Recreation Department is dedicated to serving our citizens
with programs that contribute to the well being of individuals and families by
offering activities that teach new skills, promote good health, while providing
enjoyment all at the same time. My heartfelt appreciation to all volunteers
who assist in the delivery of all activities and events hosted in this great City.
Volunteers are the backbone of many of our community services and on behalf
of City Council we offer our sincere thanks.
From badminton to gymnastics, drama classes to card parties, we strive to offer
something for everyone. If you have any questions or have suggestions for
improving our programs and services we welcome your feedback. I can be

MESSAGE FROM THE PARKS, RECREATION, AND
LEISURE ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE
The Charlottetown Parks, Recreation and Leisure Activities
Committee is pleased to present the 2012-2013 Fall / Winter
Program Brochure. Our core service delivery continues to focus
on the importance of healthy and active living for all ages and
lifestyles.
Melissa Hilton
It is widely recognized that being active has many benefits, from
a personal, social, environmental and economic point of view and
we are committed to providing residents with a wide range of
opportunities to engage in leisure activities of their choice.
Our committee of Council, which includes leaders in our
community, provides oversight to the staff of the Parks and
Recreation Department to ensure quality experiences. We also
acknowledge and thank the many dedicated volunteers for their
commitment to a variety of grassroots programs and services that
would not be possible without their leadership.
Our Department also plays a leadership role in advancing
Dave MacDonald sustainable practices and to that end, this will be our first brochure
publication which will be presented predominantly on line with
only a few hard copies in circulation. We hope that you find this to
be more convenient and share our appreciation for preserving our
natural resources.
Mitchell Tweel
The Parks and Recreation Department consists of a management
team that oversees direct delivery programs, facility operations
and park management of over 55 properties. Our team is always
interested in hearing from you, with your suggestions for new
or improved services. As we continue to grow in response to a
growing and more active community, your feedback is important.
Have a health filled and fun Fall and Winter and enjoy this
beautiful city in which we live.

at either end of the rink during stop-time periods of play.

THEATRE
CONFEDERATION CENTRE OF THE ARTS
Our love of the arts continues…
The Confederation Centre of the Arts first opened its doors in 1964, 100
years after the Fathers of Confederation first met in Charlottetown to discuss
Confederation.
58
The Centre was opened as a national memorial to the Fathers of Confederation,
and was built to showcase the incredible artistic talents that this nation has to
offer. From musical theatre and dance to the breathtaking exhibits in the gallery,
the Confederation Centre of the Arts has fostered a love of the arts for over 40
years.
LIVE @ THE CENTRE
Live music, live theatre, live comedy! This fall and winter, the best
entertainment on PEI is live at the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
A world of dance, incomparable musicians and musical theatre, favorite
children’s entertainment and fun for the whole family, stirring choral music,
seasonal traditions, and rock ‘n roll are all live on the finest stages on Prince
Edward Island. Stay tuned for the 2012 / 2013 season lineup.
For more information please visit www.confederationcentre.com
or call 1-800-565-0278.

Let’s GO! Charlottetown,
The City of Charlottetown Parks and Recreation Department is proud to partner
with Go!PEI, a health and wellness initiative to encourage Islanders to become
more physically active and to eat healthier.
Go! Be Physically Active
Check out the Parks and Recreation Department Program Brochure for
information on programs and services that will help you in your pursuit to
realize a healthier and more physically active lifestyle.
Go! Cycling Cyclists of all ages and abilities can feel the joys of cycling. Our department
encourages residents and visitors to use the City’s Routes for Nature and Health
Trail system. You can check out the City’s website for a map and information
on the trails.
Go! Running
Have you always wanted to run, but felt that you did not know how? Our
department will be offering “learn to run” programs this Fall and Winter (dates

individuals. As well, if you are interested in starting a “learn to run” program at
your workplace, please contact us to see how we can help.
Go! Eat Healthy
