Activity Guide 

Spring-Summer 2011

message from the mayor 

It is with great 

pleasure, on 

behalf of the 

Corner Brook 

City Council, 

that I present 

to you the 

City’s Spring/ 

Summer 

Recreation 

and Leisure 

Activity 

Guide. 

I would like to encourage all residents, as well as visitors to 

the city, to take advantage of the many activities and events 

listed in the Spring-Summer 2011 Activity Guide. 

Corner Brook is a fun and exciting city brimming with 

indoor and outdoor activities for people of all ages! I invite 

you and your family to get involved in our community and 

make time for positive recreation and leisure activities. 

Spring and Summer are great times to spend outdoors 

in Corner Brook – there is always something to do! Take 

advantage of our many walking and cycling trails. If you 

are looking for something more challenging why not 

head out to Marble Mountain and try a day of hiking? 

Swimming, baseball, soccer and karate are just a few of 

many recreational activities taking place in Corner Brook 

this Spring and Summer. With so many activities to choose 

from, there is something for everyone! 

Whether you are a volunteer or a participant, becoming 

involved in cultural, social and recreational programs is 

essential to maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. 

It is my hope that the Activity Guide will become an 

important tool in your home that will help you and your 

family make healthy and active lifestyle choices! 

Sincerely, 

Mayor Neville Greeley

and experienced coaches. For safety reasons, the Rapids 

only register swimmers who can securely swim at least 

one length of the pool front crawl and back crawl - no 

matter their age. At the competitive level the age of Rapids 

swimmers ranges from 8 to 45 years old, all of whom travel 

provincially or nationally to compete against swimmers 

their own age. 

If any swimmers are interested in giving competitive 

swimming a try, they are welcome to attend a free week of 

swimming through the months of September - May at the 

Arts and Culture Centre Pool. For information on the free 

try-out week, or for any inquiries, please see the Rapids 

webpage at www.cbrapids.ca or contact cbrapids@

building their endurance abilities and confidence; dry land 

activities and exercises, usually outdoors. During raining

Junior and Senior Baseball 

Junior baseball in Corner Brook is on the rebound. Last 

year, the seeds for a new junior (21 and under) program 

were planted and the CBBA operated a simple three 

team format. This year, they hope to build on last year’s 

momentum to make the league even more viable. 

Beginning in mid-June, keep your eyes on the website and 

the newspaper to see a junior schedule. 

Senior baseball has been operating in Corner Brook since 

1961. This summer will be the 51st straight season of 

senior baseball in our city. The schedule will include three 

teams from Corner Brook and one team from Pasadena. 

New players are always welcome in our league which 

usually operates from June until September. New players 

are encouraged to come to the field and let coaches 

know they are interested in playing senior baseball.

kayak newfoundland and labrador 

If you have a kayak but lack paddling partners or you don’t 

have one but would like to get started in the activity the 

West Coast chapter of KNL (Kayak Newfoundland and 

Labrador) could be just the thing for you. 

The group usually meets on Tuesday nights starting around 

mid May and extending into the fall. Sometimes its a 

simple paddle on Tippings Pond in Massey Drive or a short 

paddle on the Bay of Islands and other times it could be 

a practice session for rescue and rolling techniques. On 

nice weekends longer trips on the bay or other areas on 

the west coast will be planned. Sometimes special guests 

will present information sessions on kayak safety and trip 

planning or show slides from various trips around the 

island. We can provide you with information on buying 

a kayak or on where to take a kayaking course. But mostly 

its about making contacts in the kayaking world so you 

have someone to go on a paddle with, whether it be an 

organized group paddle or just a couple of friends getting 

out on the water. 

For more information contact Perry Humphries at perryski@ 

gmail.com . KNL has a website with a wealth of information 

www.kayakers.nf.ca and the local chapter has one with 

pictures from various trips http://kayakers.t35.com.

rick hansen 25th Anniversary 

man in motion world Tour relay 

Twenty-five years ago Rick Hansen had a dream – to make 

the world more accessible and inclusive and to find a 

cure for spinal cord injury. Inspired by a deep-seated 

belief that anything is possible, Rick’s dream took shape 

in the form of the Man In Motion World Tour (MIMWT). 

For 26 months he and his team wheeled over 40,000 km 

through 34 countries, raising awareness of the potential 

of people with disabilities. It was the beginning of a 

lifelong and selfless journey to make a 

positive difference in the lives of others. 

This year marks the beginning of the 

25th Anniversary, and provides an 

unprecedented opportunity to engage 

the world with the story of Rick Hansen. 

Moving from one Man In Motion to Many 

In Motion, it is a global invitation to join 

Rick in his journey towards a cure and 

a more inclusive society as he inspires 

a new generation to be difference 

makers – to dream, to take action, to 

continue to change the world. 

The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay 

will re-trace the Canadian segment of the original Man 

In Motion World Tour. Starting in Newfoundland and 

travelling westward to British Columbia, the nine-month 

relay will cover 12,000 kilometers, and visit over 600 

communities from coast to coast – in every province and 

territory. 

On Friday, September 2, 2011 the Rick Hansen Relay will 

come to Corner Brook. Come join us at Margaret Bowater 

Park for an afternoon of fun and festivities as the relay 

participants enter the park with all the excitement and

environmental Clean up 

Spring Clean up 

MAy 9-20 

Each May, the City of Corner Brook has an annual Spring 

Clean Up. During this time the contractor will collect extra 

garbage such as household appliances, furniture, and 

automotive parts. The total weight of these items must 

be no more than 35 kg. Items not included are trees, 

construction waste, construction materials, and excavation 

material. At other times during the year, usually on the 

first Friday of each month, the contractor will collect such 

items on an appointment basis for a fee of $25 including 

taxes. To arrange for pickup, call Murphy Brothers Limited 

at 634-3345. 

household hazardous waste (hhw) 

SATuRdAy, APRIL 30

batteries, pesticides, or paint products. These should 

never be disposed of with regular household waste 

because they can cause harm to people and the 

environment. Do not throw these products down drains 

or into storm drains. Each fall and spring the City of Corner 

Brook and the Multi Materials Stewardship Board (MMSB) 

organizes HHW collection where residents can drop off 

their hazardous waste material free of charge. 

Events Scheduled at the Pepsi Center Parking lot for April 

30.

Scrap vehicle recycle program 

For the convenience of residents who wish to dispose 

of scrapped vehicles, the City of Corner Brook will pay 

for towing and disposal costs during the annual Spring 

Clean up period in May. This is for residential properties 

and only one (1) vehicle from a property will be towed. 

The vehicles must be accessible for direct towing and 

any costs associated with the winching of inaccessible 

vehicles will be the responsibility of the resident. 

Residents wishing to take advantage of this service are 

asked to make arrangements by contacting the Municipal 

Enforcement Division at 637-1562 and signing a consent/ 

waiver form, stating you are the property owner. Please 

note prior to disposal, vehicles must have all fluids 

drained, tires and batteries must be removed and gas 

tanks must be emptied and vented. 

e-waste Collection 

E-waste, or electronic waste, includes items such as cell 

phones, computer towers, monitors, TVs, VCRs, DVD 

players, etc. 

E-waste contains toxic materials that can be hazardous 

if not managed properly. Landfilling e-waste is harmful 

to the environment because substances such as arsenic, 

cadmium, lead, mercury, and nickel can leach out into the 

soil and water. These substances can be toxic and have 

been associated with cancer and neurological disorders 

in children. Besides health reasons, recycled e-waste can 

retrieve valuable parts and precious metals, such as gold 

and copper. There is tremendous value in reducing, reusing, 

and recycling these products when possible. 

For more information on the next E-Waste Collection 

please call 637-1630. 

residential Curbside recycling 

program 

On May 30, 2005, the City of Corner Brook launched 

a Mandatory Curbside Recycling Program, which 

makes separating recyclable material into blue 

transparent plastic bags mandatory for all city 

residents. The benefits of this program include 

extending the life of the Wild Cove landfill and 

reducing our community’s carbon footprint. 

As part of the City’s Curbside Recycling Program, there 

are a number of things you can do. Place cardboard 

and paper products in a see through blue bag or flatten 

and tie cardboard into bundles no longer than 12 “ x 

12 “ x 30”. If possible place recyclable material 1.5m 

from your garbage. Corrugated cardboard is “waffled” 

between the layers (e.g. appliance boxes). For a list of 

accepted recyclable material please visit the city of Corner 

Brook website at http://www.cornerbrook.com/default.

Curb Side give Away 

JuNE 11 - 12 

The City of Corner Brook held its first City-wide Curbside 

Give Away Weekend on October 9th & 10th, 2010. This 

event embraced the initiatives taken by other communities 

in an effort to rethink garbage and help residents to divert 

less material to the landfill. 

Residents can place re-usable items at the curb and 

simply place a “FREE” sign on the items to ensure there 

is no confusion. People are then encouraged to take a 

look around the city at any or all areas with a “treasure.” 

Treasure hunters can remove items with a “FREE” sign but 

should remember to respect people’s property when 

participating. 

Clean up Corner Brook 

Clean Up Corner Brook was initiated in 2009 and because 

of the numerous groups that volunteered their time, it was 

a huge success. It not only improved the appearance 

of the city, it also highlighted the sense of community 

spirit that exits in Corner Brook, and demonstrated the 

responsibility we felt Clean Up Corner Brook hopes 

to mobilize residents, community groups, businesses, 

institutions and schools on the theory that many hands 

make short work. Similar programs in other municipalities 

have been very effective in cleaning up numerous areas 

in a very short time. Everyone is encouraged to select a 

particular part of town to clean up the litter. It may be a 

residential road, perhaps a neighbourhood park or public 

green space. If possible, the City encourages you to put 

any recyclables collected in their institutional or residential 

recycling containers/blue bags. 

Sustainability Awards 

Corner Brook Community 

Sustainablility Awards 

The City of Corner Brook, in cooperation with the Western 

Star and an array of community partners including the 

Western Environmental Centre, Board of Trade, Humber 

Community YMCA and others, is pleased to announce the 

first ever community based Sustainability Awards. 

The Sustainability Awards are designed to recognize 

individuals, groups, organizations and businesses in 

Corner Brook for their valued contributions to creating and 

strengthening a culture of sustainability in Corner Brook 

through their efforts in economic, cultural, environmental 

and sporting excellence. The awards will increase 

community awareness, engagement and action while 

celebrating those who make Corner Brook fantastic place 

22 

to live. 

These awards have grown out of the success of the annual 

Corner Brook Sport Awards, which are integral to the 

newly initiated Community Sustainability Awards, and are 

inclusive of the entire positive growth and development of 

the City. 

The Community Sustainability Awards will be presented 

annually and although there is only one winner selected 

for each award, it is an honor to be nominated. The 

success of the Sustainability Awards process depends 

upon citizen participation both as partners in moving 

toward a sustainable community, and in nominating those 

community members making a difference.

The kids will come to the gallery and get a little show and 

tell of the different types of artwork on display on the 

gallery walls. Then we will move to the ‘art room’ where 

we will do some acrylic painting on canvas. For the fist 

painting kids mix paints and use them in the right way, we 

will paint from an image of a sunflower, train or something 

along those lines. Then with their second painting they 

will get to paint whatever they want on it! The kids get a 

great experience form this and get to take two wonderful 

masterpieces home with them. 

All material is included!
