Is volunteering one of your New Year resolution's? If so, how about volunteering with the WRRC. 

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering provides opportunities to learn more about oneself and one’s community. For students and young adults, volunteering can also help provide insight into different career paths that may be of interest as well as helping to develop useful skills. Engaging in volunteering not only positivley impacts oneself but also those in the community. 

In order to be able to offer sports programs, workshops, and various child and youth programming within the RM of Whitemouth, the support of volunteers is vital. We cannot run these programs without assistance.

Thank-you for your consideration!

Looking for something to do which lets you spend time outdoors as well as being physically active? Look no further than Geocaching! An activity that can be done alone or with family and friends, Geocaching allows you to explore your surroundings as you adventure to locate caches. 

Be sure to check out the various geocaches along The Whitemouth River Recreation Trail! 

To get started, create a free geocaching account and download the official Geocaching® app or use a GPS device.

This is a new program that will certainly get your children up and moving! 

Designed for ages 2-5, children will learn body awareness as they relate to the space around them. They will develop balance, agility and coordination as well as their listening and processing skills as an activity leader guides them through various exercises and movement games. They will do balance puzzles, spatial awareness tasks and will stay busy the full class. 

For older siblings/children ages 6-12, they will be able to participate in "open gym" where an activity leader will facilitate other fun games and activities.

Parents must be present for the program and are encouraged to be engaged and participate with their children. 

Stay tuned to the WRRC website and Facebook as program details (time/date) become finalized!

There will be more programs and events announced as they are confirmed. Additional details will be included in any subsequent newsletters as well as social media platforms. 

Interpretive events are free for everyone to attend!  An adult must accompany children under 12 to all programs.  For more information, Please call 204-369-3157 or email [email protected].
