The single-best resource for information about recreational programs is the Active Living Guide. It is produced twice a year and includes information about programming in City facilities such as arenas and pools, as well as the programs delivered by
Community Associations throughout the City. It also contains a
list of local clubs, organizations, businesses and societies and their contact information.
View the latest Active Living Guide online through “Blue Toad” (you can also access past issues from this site) or
