COMPETITION NEWS
Hey Skaters and In-liners! Saturday April 30th, C.J. Skateboard park in conjunction with PAD: Parents Action on Drugs, will be hosting a late night fundraising event, SK8 Till L8! The event is to raise money for their peer-led programs, which pair older teens with younger teens to provide the information and guidance necessary to lower the risks associated with substance abuse.
Participants are required to fundraise a minimum of $50, which pays their entry into the event and earns them a ticket for the skater's draw; every additional $10 raised past that goal earns skaters an additional ticket for the draw. Pro Skater Jesse Landen will also be participating in the event, be sure to be there!!!
More than 50 prizes, many from sponsor West 49, will be given away throughout the evening, including a Flip Cam, iPod dock, t-shirts, hoodies, skate decks, group lesson cards, one week summer camp, movie passes and more.

PROGRAMS
At C.J. Skateboard Park, we have a variety of different lessons and programs that people can attend. One that is growing and becoming very popular is our Beginner group lesson. In our Beginner group lesson, we start off with a group stretch, and then our instructor will assess the different abilities of each student, and guide each of them in the direction to better their abilities. After the one hour lesson, students also get one hour of free skate to practice what they have learned in the lesson. Our Beginner group lesson is held on Tuesday's and Thursday's (at 4pm) and on Saturday (at 10am and 1pm) and is only $20 or $15 with a membership cards and includes all rentals except skateboard.
Also, Friday nights will be changing soon at C.J.'s! Bank of Montreal Insurance has helped us create another recession session. With their help, Friday nights will now be "BMO Insurance Friday's", which will be 7pm-10pm for only $5! This new night will be effective from April 1st – November 30th for the next 3 years. We are also working on a sponsor for Tuesday's, Wednesday's, and Saturday's.
