Think your child might love gymnastics? Here's some community information you may be interested in :)

For the first time in a number of years Canmore Illusions Gymnastics is providing a boys gymnastics class so boys can participate locally instead of having to leave the Bow Valley for this opportunity.  

There are only a few spots are left! It's on Thursdays for May & June and costs $160.
