WINNIPEG The City of Winnipeg will be offering some Leisure Guide programs this spring, including dance, gymnastics, yoga, pottery, spring break camps and outdoor activities. According to the city, the Leisure Guide will be made available online on March 19, with registration beginning at 8 a.m. on March 23. Residents can register online, by calling 311 or in-person at 395 Main St. The city is reminding anyone that wants to register in-person that they must wear a mask and maintain physical distancing protocols. The city expects to release the Leisure Guide swimming and skating brochures later in the spring.
POOLS REOPENING On March 29, the City of Winnipeg will be reopening a number of its indoor pools at 25 per cent capacity.
When public health officials announced pools across the province would be allowed to reopen as soon as Friday, 70-year-old Linda Larkin immediately called her friend, neighbour and long-time swimming buddy.

However, as Larkin and Lorna Kirkness, 70, read the news article together over the phone, dismay set in.
Despite being allowed to reopen March 5, City of Winnipeg pools would remain shut for the time being amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the pair’s regular aqua aerobics classes at Kinsmen Sherbrook would stay cancelled for now.
