Management is the ski program is a joke. My wife signed my daughter up for ski lessons running Feb. and Mar. In the lead up we where spammed with every email cancelation and bump of the all the other classes are having. It would stand to reasons if there were any issues we would have received notice the same way. Fast forward we receive a phone call requesting is to show up early for equipment fitting. We arrive first day early as requested, get her lift pass, register and even get fitted for equipment rentals. Then we are directed where to wait. And we wait... We wait equipment and all. After running 20 min past the start time I find a staffer figuring I mistook the meeting spot and after a few minutes waiting for someone on the radio I am informed the class is cancelled. After some more waiting I get the the program director s office to find out they left a voicemail late Friday to inform us there was cancellation. No response as to why email like all the other notices. When asked if I could get a lift pass and a set of rentals in compensation for the colossal waist of my time and the disappointment of my 7 year old to take her for a few runs, I was again told no there was nothing they could do. Shamelessly unprofessional with no respect for a clients/ customers time. I was left eating the smug attitude in the explanation that a late night last minute v-mail is good enough for them. Cupboard warrior tapping a pen on some worthless chicken scratch.

My only recourse was to walk up the dam hill in defiance and my running shoes to give my kid the runs she deserved. Pro tip the disgruntled staff don't check lift passes.

Do it right and go to any other outfit, staying away from this bottom of the barrow so called...

Earl Bales Park is a family 👪 friendly park. The area is so huge and full of playgrounds and trees. There are pathways to stroll around and small hills to climb. There is a newly built children's playground too with water faucets for children to play. There are huge parking areas as well. There is a mini amphitheater for some presentations. You can do barbecue in the area but you have to bring your own barbecue materials or basin. Barbecuing on the grounds is strictly prohibited in order to protect the green healthy grass and to avoid fire. And alcohol consumption is NOT allowed in the public place. And any illegal and anti social and anti Semitic activities are against the law and therefore strictly prohibited. The only disappointment is the lack of washrooms. If you find a spot during high season far from the washroom you need to walk to use it. I think that's the only downturn. Otherwise the park is free for all to visit and use for family fun. However, using and enjoying the beautiful Earl Bales Park is just a privilege NOT a right. Therefore, you need to help observe cleanliness and orderliness. And most of all RESPECT for other people, their space and their being. Clean up your area and bring your trash to the big bins provided nearby. Enjoyable sunny beautiful day on Canada Day indeed....
