Lacrosse camps coming to New West this summer

Movers & Shakers
Kevin Crowley Fusion West
Play ball: Kids from New Westminster and the Lower Mainland took part in the 2015 Fusion West lacrosse camp at Queen's Park last summer, hosted by New West native Kevin Crowley. Fusion West camps return to the city this summer.

National Lacrosse League star Kevin Crowley will be in town to suit up for the Salmonbellies this summer – and to help young lacrosse players develop their skills.

Crowley is the camp director of Fusion West’s summer camps, including a Senior Salmonbellies box clinic for New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association players. The clinic for novice, peewee, bantam and midget players being held on July 10 and 11 at Queen’s Park Arena will be hosted by Crowley and the Senior Salmonbellies.

Later in the summer, Crowley will be joined by other top-level lacrosse players at the four-day boys’ camp that runs at the Queen’s Park east turf field from July 31 to Aug. 3. Savanna Smith will be leading the second annual girls’ field lacrosse camp at Queen’s Park Aug. 21 to 24.

Crowley is co-owner of Fusion Lacrosse, which was founded in 2013 in the eastern United States and provides training for indoor and outdoor lacrosse.

Details about all of the camps can be found at www.fusionwestlacrosse.com.

Road safety for business

An upcoming workshop focuses on helping participants improve their workplaces’ occupational road-safety programs.

The June 21 workshop is intended for owners of large and small companies, managers, supervisors, health and safety practitioners and others who are responsible for developing programs to keep employees safe on the road. Participants will develop or improve an occupational road safety program that fits their workplace and follows best practices; learn a process to identify hazards and assess risk, how to develop strategies, and use the tools and resources on the RoadSafetyAtWork.ca website to address the unique road safety issues and needs facing their organization.

Road Safety At Work is an initiative managed by the Justice Institute of B.C. and funded by WorkSafeBC to help employers improve the safety of workers who drive for work or work at the roadside, by delivering programs and resources to help reduce the number of work-related motor vehicle crashes, deaths and injuries in B.C.

The complimentary workshop takes place on Wednesday, June 21 from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Inn at the Quay, 900 Quayside Dr. Space is limited.
