History

The history of gymnastics in the Vernon area started in 1978 with programs offered through the Boys and Girls Club. In 1993 the North Valley Gymnastics Society (a non-profit society) was established and took over the operations from the Boys and Girls Club. Over the past 29 years gymnastics programs have been offered to youth between the ages of 3 - 17 in the Vernon and surrounding area.

For 12 years the Society operated its programs at the Beairsto Elementary School gymnasium. During this time club membership peaked at 225 active gymnastics per session (with 3 sessions per year), and approximately 100 additional individuals on a waitlist. Due to the increased growth and popularity of the French – Immersion program in the early 2000’s, the School Board limited gymnastics scheduling at the gymnasium. The reduced hours led to reduced programs and eventually to fallout of membership for the Society. Eventually the French – Immersion program grew to such proportion that it was not feasible for the gymnastics programs to remain operating at the school.

As a result, since July of 2004 the Society has been without a facility. In the past 3 years limited short-term programs have been run for pre-school children at various church halls, Boys and Girls Club, and for Armstrong youth in City of Armstrong in conjunction with the City of Armstrong, Parks and Recreation.
