As summer draws to a close, focus shifts to programs and activities for our upcoming fall/winter seasons. We have a lot to offer! From sporting events to leisure, culture and art activities there is an abundance of things to do for people of all ages. So mark your calendar and plan early! This Guide is a blueprint of the many activities planned in Corner Brook for the upcoming fall/winter season. I encourage you to review the Guide and plan early to take advantage of the many opportunities to stay active. No matter what your interest, there is plenty of options available to you. Corner Brook and the Humber Valley Region has one of the most spectacular autumn seasons with the brilliance of red and golden blazing throughout the landscape. For winter enthusiasts, we don’t disappoint. Our heavy annual snowfall guarantees lots of skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiles, winter festivals and lots of fun in the snow. Whether you are a volunteer or a participant, becoming involved in cultural, social and recreational programs is the perfect ingredient to maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. From snowshoeing, skiing, skating to drama, arts, dance there are many wonderful activities to look forward to during the upcoming seasons. Enjoy everything Corner Brook has to offer. Without a doubt we are a four-season destination offering seasonally changing activities and programs that are fun for everyone.

The premise is simple… people all across Newfoundland and Labrador raise money and collect pledges to wear their pajamas to work, school or out-and-about on October 17th, 2014 in support of the Janeway and all our kids. Wearing pajamas is a sign of solidarity and support for sick kids – it lets them know that we understand what they are going through, and that we are fighting for them. Raise Money. Wear PJs. Help Kids. For more information please contact the Janeway – at 709-777-4640 or via e-mail at phyllis.kinsmann@ easternhealth.ca.
