JACK RABBITS
HOCKEY – COACHES NEEDED
Jackrabbits hockey is the least expensive way to introduce any child to
hockey, and maybe the most fun. It is held at the Riverview Community
Centre outdoor rink twice a week, for an hour each time. Kids are grouped
by ages, generally 4 years to 7, and 8 to 10. It is really intended for
kids who are not registered in a more formal hockey program. It has been a
great success over the years, but like all good things, without volunteers
it does not happen. Our community needs Jackrabbits hockey coaches for the
upcoming season. Trevor Gardner has done it for the past few years but not
this year. If you have any questions or prospective coaches want to get a
hold of Trev, you can call him at 284-1058.
FALL PROGRAMS
The Riverview Community Centre has been running drop in programs over the
summer for children in the neighbourhood. We intend to continue the
programs in evenings and weekends in the Fall, Winter and Spring. Watch
for the program schedule on the bulletin board at the club, in the Bugle
(email
reflector@riverviewcc.ca to be a subscriber for regular updates). or on the
website at
www.riverviewcc.ca

ATTENTION ALL
GARDENERS
Long time Riverview residents Cathy and Ken Land have just purchased (with
a partner) St. Mary's Nursery & Garden Centre Ltd @ 2901 St. Mary's Road.
Since there are so many Riverview residents who take pride in their
gardens, maybe they want to support a fellow Riverview resident (and
former Community Centre President and volunteer) when purchasing their
next plant, tree, prairie grass etc....
PLEASE BAND YOUR
TREES!
A resident wrote in: The September long weekend is the time to band our
trees. The more that are banded, the better the protection. As you can
see, Winnipeg School Division is doing its bit by having trees on school
property as well as adjacent boulevards banded. However, according to Mike
Allen, former City of Winnipeg Forester and current consulting urban
forester, cankerworms also migrate from one tree to another via their
crown. So if a banded tree's branches touch those of an unbanded tree, the
tree is still at risk.

RIVERVIEW ATHLETES
EXCEL AT WESTERN CANADA SUMMER GAMES
Manitoba’s Canoe & Kayak Team had an outstanding regatta at the Western
Canada Summer Games, held in Edmonton from August 5th to 11th. The team
was led by Riverview’s own Tom Sherwin, who won 6 Gold and 4 Silver
Medals, and was named the Province’s Flagbearer at the closing ceremonies
of the Games, in recognition of his achievements. Fifteen year old Tom is
a student at Churchill High School and began canoeing at the Canoe & Kayak
Centre on Churchill Drive when he was twelve. Emily Brigham, Jayne & Lena
Shepherd, Ian Ellis, Riley McMurray, and Baileigh Sirman also did
Riverview & Churchill proud by bringing home multiple medals and helping
the Team to its best ever Games performance with a total of 28 medals.
Riverview resident and Provincial Coach Jerome Seremak captained the Team
and predicts a bright future for Tom and his team-mates. Anyone interested
in getting involved in canoeing or kayaking is ! encouraged to contact the
Centre at 80 Churchill Drive by phoning 284-4646.
Riverview was also well represented in other sports, with Andrew Harrison
winning Bronze in Men’s Badminton, Brayden Jackson bringing home Bronze in
Men’s Rugby, Sean Clarke helping his Men’s Baseball Team to a 4th place
finish, Rachel Rathbone placing 4th in Women’s soccer, and Alice Sherwin
placing 5th in the 5000m event in Track & Field. The entire Team Manitoba
effort was led by Riverview’s own
Ted
Bigelow, the Chef de Mission for Team Toba, who saw the team to a 3rd
place overall finish against the Western Provinces & Territories. Way to
go Riverview!
