WESTWIND PARK - WESTWIND SPRING FAIR & RELAY ON JUNE 2ND- 10am to 3pm
*** WESTWIND PARK TRACK - 175 metres to Go!!!***

The momentum is growing as we get closer to our fundraising goal to build a 450 metre 2 lane circuit track at Westwind Park this summer. With support from local businesses and on-going encouragement, praise and donations received by individuals in the area, this project is being recognized as an important component in establishing a healthy and physically active community.

To raise awareness of the track and to celebrate the spirit of a "Community in Motion" we will be holding a Spring Fair & Relay on June 2nd at Westwind Elementary School (11371 Kingfisher Drive). The fun begins at 10am with a 1 hour relay. Be a part of our track by registering a team of 4 ($5 per team), collect pledges and see how many laps your team can make in an hour. This will be followed by the Fair which will have lots of games, prizes, a cake walk, bouncey castle, live critters, a live fun auction, music and BBQ! All proceeds go towards the building the track.

Relay registration forms and information about the Track project is available at the Westwind School Office or e-mail WestwindTrack@hotmail.com or call 604-668-6497. Join us at the Fair and be a part of our Community in Motion!
