Recreation ended the year on a high note in the city of Corner Brook. During the last public meeting, councillor Pamela Keeping gave an update saying the annual Seniors Christmas Concert that took place at the Civic Centre Studio received numerous compliments.. There were over 300 participants who enjoyed tasty treats, live music and danced the afternoon away. 2024 has seen multiple highlights within Recreation through special events, programs and infrastructure upgrades. The City of Corner Brook hosted the Recreation NL conference in April, welcoming over 100 participants from municipalities around the province. Canada Day festivities were enjoyed as we celebrated our country, Memorial Day in Newfoundland and the opening of Margaret Bowater Park Pool.

The Carberry’s Road Playground had a new play structure installed and the Doug Sweetapple Field received a new score clock. Keeping says says staff are looking forward to the year ahead as it will bring some accessible playground upgrades, and a new concrete deck at Margaret Bowater Park and the opening of the Corner Brook Regional Recreation Centre featuring 25 m lane pool, leisure pool with a therapy section, water features, water slide, a fitness centre and more.
