Members of Pouch Cove Recreation Commission would like to thank everyone who helped to make our 2010 Summer Program a great success. Spread over seven weeks, our summer program was focused on providing a variety of recreational and leisure opportunities while educating children on the importance of healthy eating. Members of Pouch Cove Recreation would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to our eight staff members whose hard work and determination made our program a great success.
