One of my favourite ways to spend an afternoon in Castlegar is going to the Community Complex to work out in the gym and soak in the hot tub. The patrons and staff have always been friendly and respectful. I consistently leave the centre feeling both relaxed and rejuvenated. It is a great community resource.

It can be particularly difficult for teachers and other school staff when it comes to dealing with adolescent students, as they are in a transition stage between being children and being adults.

I think I’m getting old. Yes. Me. Well, I guess 58 isn’t “old”, and so I will amend that to I think I’m getting older. Yes, that sounds better. Much better in fact.
