Active Again

Friday, March 8th, 2019

The Kawartha Lakes Sport and Recreation Council is excited to announce the launch of Active Again an Adaptive Recreation Pilot Project!

Six recreation providers have come together in Fenelon Falls to offer a brand new way for City of Kawartha Lakes residents to access new activities. Program participants will have the opportunity to participate in up to six activities in the spring and summer of this year.

The KLSRC has worked with the Kawartha Cycling Club, Fenelon Falls Curling Club, Lindsay Rugby Football Club, Fenelon Yoga, Fenelon Falls Pickleball and Nordic Pole Walking to develop the program. Thanks to a Trillium Foundation grant obtained through the Kawartha Cycling Club, and our collaborative approach to planning, we have kept enrollment costs for the 7-month program down to $50-$70 per participant.

All activities will be offered with adaptive options, including modified rules and/or adaptive equipment and will be of special interest to older adults, persons with disabilities, or adults who are getting active again.

To register, please visit www.klsrc.ca

Veteran prop Rob Brouwer hopes Arrows experience will lead to World Cup squad

Friday, March 8th, 2019

Toronto Arrows’ Rob Brouwer speaks with his teammates during a game against the Houston SaberCats in Houston, Texas on Friday, Feb. 22, 2019 in this handout photo. Prop Rob Brouwer is a study in hard work and perseverance. He became Canada’s oldest rugby debutant when he stepped on the field against Brazil in February 2016 at the age of 33 years 72 days.

Toronto Arrows prop Rob Brouwer came late to rugby and, at age 36, still has high hopes in the sport.

The teacher from Lindsay, Ont., is looking to crack Canada’s World Cup roster this fall.

“I’m just hoping that being able to play week-in, week-out, play some good-calibre rugby, I can put my hand up and keep improving on the things that I may need to improve on,” he said. “Just put together a string of good performances and build on that winning culture with the Arrows and hopefully I’ll get the attention of the selectors for the upcoming World Cup.”

The six-foot-three, 260-pounder became Canada’s oldest rugby debutante in February 2016 when he stepped on the field against Brazil at the age of 33 years 72 days.

“A big moment,” he recalled.

“Obviously you could look at my career and say it was a long time coming. But I never ever thought that I was overlooked at the time,” he added. “I just felt I should work harder.”
