As we move towards Phase 3 we can slowly open our centre and so we are prepping the Splex by developing a return to play policy. The softball diamonds and soccer fields at Marj Edey (as well as Tennis courts) are back in use. We still suggest physical distancing and do not come to the parks if you are feeling ill.
Many centres are busy working on a re-opening strategy and GCWCC is gathering as much information from as many sources as possible to provide a re-opening package. In the meantime, the province has outlined specific guidelines for Community Centres in their Restoring Safe Services Phase 2 document: https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/restoring/phase-two.html;
We will continue to work on a safe opening strategy while adhering to the provincial guidelines.
In light of this Varsity View Community Center has decided to suspend programming, as follows:
- Bingo (Sunday/Tuesday evenings) has been cancelled with a goal to be ready for September.
- Nursery programming has been suspended with the same September goal.
- Yoga (Wednesday evenings) has been cancelled until further notice.
Should you have any questions related to our facility and/or program cancellations, please email vvcc@mymts.net .
Thank you for your patience.

Varsity View is offering a power skating program put on by Brooke Enns of Competitive Edge Power Skating.

The Stanley Cup at Varsity View 2018
(VV Board and Staff with Madison Bowey and the Stanley Cup in the Splex Jul 28/18)
********
NHL champion Madison Bowey brought the Stanley Cup to Varsity View Community Club on July 28 at 3 p.m.
Bowey, defenceman for the Washington Capitals hockey team, is a former Varsity View Falcon and he will bring hockey’s greatest trophy back to his childhood club for a party. All were welcome to attend this free event.
“My hockey career began here, at this great community club in this wonderful hockey city, and this is my chance to pay tribute to everyone who helped me get started, and encouraged me to keep going,” Bowey says. “It’s a great honour to have this privilege and I can’t wait to celebrate back home in my community.”
Traditionally, players and staff of the championship team each get a day to take the trophy to a destination of their choosing. Madison chose to share it with his community, where it all began.
