OUR MISSION
As teenagers in the Comox Valley, we have experienced both negative and positive aspects of our community. The positives are beautiful landscapes and environmental tourism. The negatives however, tend to outweigh the positives. There are seldom activities and events happening that entice teenagers, and the whole town calls it a night after 6 P.M. For teenagers, especially those who have part time jobs, this is very discouraging. It is almost as if our community has forgotten about us. We wanted to change this in our research and project. Extending the gym hours would contribute to an increase in physical activity in local teenagers. It would also provide more accessible and comfortable times for everyone to get fit!
Results
For our synergy project, we looked into the extension of hours at our local Rec Centre. We spoke to program directors and representatives from the Rec Centre’s board. We are pleased to report that changes to the gym schedule may occur early to mid 2018. Changes are under way but pending board approval.
In a recent survey we conducted, we found that 88% of teens preferred to workout at the Comox Rec Gym after 6:00 PM.
88% of teens found that the Comox rec Centre's 4:30 PM closing time on Saturday and Sunday were too early.
94% of Comox teenagers would workout later, if the times allowed them to.
