they offer fitness & sport age related programs that

12. My takeaway from
Course Adventure #4…
■ After partaking in Course Adventure #4, I
enjoyed exploring the different service
sectors within my community. I have learned
a lot about the qualities of each service sector
and why something falls under that service
sector. Moreover, I have also deepened my
understanding of programs and events that
my community offers and am proud to be
apart of it.
■ I will continue to recognize each service
sector under its proper category and
appreciate the diversity and variety of
recreation, physical activity and coaching
programs that Maple Ridge has to offer!
