The adult aquasize class has been running since early July. So far they have had good weather for the classes. They were originally at 9:00 a.m. but the time has now changed to 8:00 a.m.

I went over to check out what was happening at the aquasize class one morning. It was a beautiful warm morning and it looked like everyone was enjoying themselves in the water.

If you are are looking for an exercise that is not too hard on the body, you may want to try an aquasize class. If you do not have a season pass for the pool, the cost is $4.00 per class.

If you have any questions about aquasize you can contact Sabrina at 442-2005.

Debra Trylinski presenting Welcome Basket to Gavin & Debbie Porter

On Wednesday, July 7th,  members of the Economic Development Board presented a Welcome Basket to Gavin and Debbie Porter.

Gavin and Debbie immigrated from the United Kingdom 3 years ago and until recently were living in Regina. Debbie commutes to work at Pennington’s in East Regina and Gavin drives transport for Yanke, but presently is off work due to an injury.  They have a Chocolate Lab named Ruffus.

This past year we have a number of new residents in town and would like to say Welcome to all of them.  We invite all the new residents to a Barbeque on Friday, August 6th at the Gazebo in the Park. It is pot luck with the burgers and buns being supplied.  We hope to see all the new residents there.

Over the next few months the Economic Development Board will be presenting all the new residents from January 2010 with Welcome Baskets.

We hope that you are enjoying Pangman and hope to see you at the Barbeque and other town functions.
