Limited Floor Space today
Today we will be running several classes, and as such there will be limited floor space until about 5pm. Sorry for this inconvenience.
Lost and Found Donations
Over the last 1.5 years we have collected a lot of sweat pants, t shirts, random shoes, bandannas, and even items like underwear (how?!) and other unmentionable things. As much as it’s been like a treasure hunt with each new item we find, it’s come time for them to all go. We are giving people 1 week as of today to come and pick up anything they may have lost here. Next week, we will be donating whatever is left over to a charity that provides clothing for the homeless over winter. If you don’t come pick up ‘your donations’, thank you very much ‘for donating’ to the cause, and if you want to drop off other things (hats, scarfs, whatever is old for you but useful for the homeless), you can do so and I will add it to the collection!
“Hobo Vs Ninja”
Check out this cool new fight demo by Brayden and Riley Jones of our MVTeam, and 2 of our bestest friends Mat Ledoux and Yan Lecomte. The MV looks pretty cool when lit all funky like that and Yan’s camera is so nuts I’ve set my next goal to buy one.
Construction/Painting this weekend
As mentioned in the previous post the training centre will be closed all day Sunday to the public. During this time we will be doing some painting all over the space, construction of a new roof in the storage room, and finishing up a lot of other projects. If you can come help out, please let us know because we definitely need it! To the people who decide to come help, we will be giving community hours if you need them for school, and also a free pass to come back another time and train for free. Chances are we will be ordering lots of pizza too because pizza and construction seem to go hand-in-hand at this place.
Parkour Birthdays are back!
This weekend we will be having yet another Parkour Birthday party. For those wondering what these cover, we usually go over things covered in our intro class + some fun surprises, we have some group challenges (like highest wall climbs), and for the younger ones, plenty of foam pit jumps. Because of this party on Sunday and another event planned the same day, we will be closed to the public ALL DAY SUNDAY. If you want to come play this weekend, come out Saturday.
1.5 Year Thoughts…
This year was an interesting one, and October marked 1.5 years since this training centre first opened its doors. There’s been some great times, and of course some bad times, but in the end its been a constant journey of self-growth for me as I try to find my place within it all and come to terms with the fact that I actually run this place. Sometimes its easy to forget it’s my job when you are having so much fun and hanging out with the best group of people ever! Running a training centre is FUN!!! The people you meet, the ideas they bring, the new things you constantly learn…. I look back and wonder how I even had the courage to open up this place knowing what I know now. Scary, but it thrills me to think I took that risk! To all the great times and awesome people that have come through this place, to all the ideas, thoughts, and training tips people have shared with me, to all those who have helped me along the way when I needed it, to everyone who makes this place what it is and still hasn’t yet become… Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
