Second annual London Sport and Activity Expo fast approaching
With the end of winter, so too
ends the days of hibernating indoors,
begging for the snow to melt
and the sun to come out. Now is the
time to be preparing for all of the
outdoor activities that accompany
summer, and a good place to start
is the London Sport and Activity
Expo.
The event will be hosted at the London BMO Centre, and Jordan Lopez, an official working with the event, expects this year’s turnout to be an even better than the last.
“This is the second year we are hosting the expo; last year we had 100 vendors participate and saw over 1,000 people attend.”
The BMO Centre is run entirely by volunteer officials, and operates at entirely no cost to any tax payers. The centre provides a variety of sports programs and unique indoor recreation for residents of London and the surrounding area to participate in.
The dome gets upwards of over 4,500 youth and adults coming in weekly to play soccer or participate in other sports and activities. With the expo, the numbers are expected to increase even more.
The event will have a focus on local sport and fitness organizations, and will include local vendors from around London who support healthy lifestyles and health care practices. There will also be one prize provided from each vendor that attends for the opportunity of participants to win something to take home.
“In addition to the vendors, there will also be sports demonstrations on the BMO Centre turf where people can learn and participate in sports such as soccer, football, martial arts, and much more,” Lopez said.
A wide assortment of different sports and activities will be introduced at the event to make sure all feel welcome to attend the free event. The BMO Centre has organized traditional and non-traditional sports activities for anyone who’s interested in picking up a new sport, purchasing some new equipment or even discovering a sport they have not heard of.
A large goal inspired by the event will also be to encourage activity and play by youths in London. Through the use of demonstrations, the event hopes to inspire youth to take multiple interests in different activities and sports. A kid’s club area sporting many different activities will also help youth exploring how they can become more active.
What’s more is that all funds raised from the event will go back to community athletic programs.
The Centre also hosts many indoor and outdoor leagues; for example, the London and District Youth Soccer League, South West Indoor Youth Soccer, London Ontario Soccer League and more. Men and women summer leagues are almost underway as well.
The free event will take place on Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., with demonstrations expected to be appearing throughout the day.
“It’s definitely a great event for students as it is free and can showcase opportunities for healthy living and fitness during the summer months.”
The BMO Centre is located at 295 Rectory Street and anyone with an interest for healthy living and fun activities is encouraged to attend. For more information, visit the London BMO Centre website at bmocentrelondon.com.
