theme. Our leaders are local students who have First Aid
qualifications and have diverse backgrounds in both the
arts and in sports. They are young adults who love
children and come back consecutive years because
they too have built connections with the kids they lead.
How it works... You can register by the day or for the whole
week. (This day camp is at Rotary Park with the Memorial
Arena available in case of bad weather.)
Pre and post care is available to weekly campers and

is now a practicing practitioner

connection with the dog needs to be fulfilling and
safe for both dogs and handlers. Cheryl is set on
lessening the number of dogs returned to rescues

Guitar
Instructor
Bill Brewer
Bill is passionate about
playing the acoustic guitar
and singing. He brings
decades of experience to teaching new players, and says he
especially loves the enthusiasm of beginners.
Before retiring in 2013 Bill had been hoping to have an
opportunity to teach new players – now it is your turn to join
him in the pleasures of learning to play and make music.
Bill recently moved to Cranbrook after retirement and is
enjoying getting to know the city better.
“I have always wanted to learn to play guitar
but just didn’t know where to start and
one on one lessons can get expensive and a bit intimidating. After only a few sessions, I felt comfortable
enough to practice different chords on my own and knew I could learn to play as long as I kept up with the
practicing. We learned so much for so little cost! I highly recommend Bill as he is a great teacher and knows
his stuff and how to relay it in a way any beginner can understand!!”

Cranbrook Farmer`s Market
Growing again in 2015!
As the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market enters its seventh year
of operation, the market season is growing! Due to the
tremendous support from both vendors and market patrons
alike, we have added another whole season of ‘locally
made, baked and grown’ for 2015.
In addition to our outdoor markets that are held every
Saturday from the end of June until Thanksgiving, we have
added a season of Indoor/Spring Markets on the 2nd and 4th
Saturdays of the months from January to June. The idea
for these indoor markets has been germinating for quite a
while as a way to continue the markets that our patrons love
on a more regular basis, while giving local area producers
another opportunity to connect with their customers.
The first of these markets have gone very well, and the
Ktunaxa Gym is proving to be a great central location.
Market shoppers can find everything from freshly harvested
microgreens to frozen berries and beef, eggs, sourdough
breads and baked goods, to body care products, wood carvings, jewelry and hand knit/ sewn clothing items. As these
indoor markets become more established, local area growers can plan to have more available in future years, as they
come up with creative ideas to either extend their growing
seasons, find ways to cold store their produce, or turn them
into ‘value added’ products ready for sale in the ‘off season’.
Thank you to all of the market patrons who help the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market continue to grow. And for those of
you who haven’t come down to see what the market is all
about, make a plan one Saturday soon!
Mark it on your calendar!

Lane Parnell
Hi, I’m Lane!
Ever since I was a child my
mother had me in swimming
lessons. Loving swimming so
much I decided to continue my
education in water safety and
become a lifeguard. Being a lifeguard as well as a
Water Safety Instructor has pushed me to stay on top,
not only physically but mentally as well, putting the
safety of the public first.
For anyone looking to further their emergency
response skills or looking to further their opportunity
for employment, aquatic leadership training is a great
place to start.
