Winter 2018 Recreation Guide

Simms Park Summer Concert Series Season Wrap-Up

Courtenay Recreation coordinates the use of all parks and school playing fields located in the City of Courtenay. Field Closures: Fields may be closed due to weather condi- tions. We would appreciate your cooperation in not using the fields during these times. Courtenay Recreation also books the Artificial Turf Field lo- cated at GP Vanier. Please note that only limited spaces are available. Local musicians provided great music at the Simms Concert series this year! Concerts were well-attended with over 400 - 600 people at each show. The final concert broke the record for biggest summer concert series attendance ever at Simms Park. About 2000 people took in the Completely Creedence show. Thank you to everyone who made this season special including: • Our 2017 performers: Ralph Barrat & the Sharp 7, Nanaimo Concert Band, Fiddlejam, Country Pickin’, Duo of Duos (Anela Kahiamoe, KC Hingley, Brodie Lee Dawson & Luke Blu Guthrie) and Completely Creedence. • Mike from Sound Advice for doing a great job with sound. • Season Sponsors: 98.9 The Goat, Comox Valley Record and Comox Valley Whats On • We’d also like to thank Edwin Grieve and Brian (Fuzz) Morissette. After many years of coordinating the concerts they are now hanging up their hats and we wish them a fond farewell. We will be taking applications for artists and groups to perform in the 2018 season. Applications will be available starting January 2018 at courtenay.ca/simms Courtenay Park Bookings
