The Victoria Cycling Academy is a junior-specific training centre for young up-and-coming cyclists. Head coach Steve Lund and team members helped run the sold-out fundraiser held at Parkside's HD movie theatre, taking tickets and ushering guests.  

The remaining $589.88 was given to the South Island Mountain Bike Society (SIMBS), and will be used to help build and maintain local trails.

Give the gift of the spa this Valentine's Day

Give the gift of the spa this Valentine's Day

February 14th doesn't have to be about cards, flowers and chocolate—in the traditional sense, anyway.

Why not spend this Valentine's Day connecting with a loved one (or just yourself—"me" time is just as important!) in pure bliss at the spa?

AquaTerre Spa at Parkside is offering up a selection of Valentine's Day packages for both couples and singles alike. So instead of giving a traditional card and a box of chocolates this Valentine's Day, why not buy your sweetheart (or yourself) a gift card at AquaTerre for a Chocolate Massage? It's just as divine—and calorie-free!

Romancing the Stone: Enjoy a 1 1/4 hour side-by-side Hot Stone Massage with Chocolate Massage oil for $320 plus tax per couple.
