Ramadan begins today. Ramadan is a period of fasting and spiritual growth and is one of the five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan Kareem means "generous Ramadan" and is said to others as a blessing. Many practicing Muslims also perform additional prayers, especially at night and attempt to recite the entire Qur'an. #RecreationExcellence #RamadanKareem #Fasting #PillarsofIslam #Blessing #Faith #Spirituality

Hey Hazelton! Tested out my new Under Armour Sport Mask in the fitness centre for a full workout today and it's......nothing short of amazing. It's structured for high intensity workouts so you can breathe comfortably during your workouts. And it'll keep you and others safe. It would be good for those who have a harder time with a mask as well in normal errands or for work. Just a small psa for our community and fitness enthusiasts. ... As you can see, working out has really changed me. ~Shawna

The All Native Basketball Tournament has been canceled this year, but let's get our local players in on this action. Get your videos in for the shot challenge.

Reminder: our shooting time at the centre is strictly shooting only. You can do layups but there is no interaction with others. There is no practicing. We maintain our distance by sticking to our hoops. We know this isn't always fun, but it's something that allows you your hoop time while maintaining our community and staff safety. We know your frustration, but we also know that this will eventually end and all our hard work will be shown in the end. Keep your heads high, and enjoy your safe time at the centre. ~Shawna
