Monterey Recreation Centre opened its doors to all Sept. 6 for its annual Discover Monterey open house.

Non-members and members were invited to visit more than 30 booths representing clubs from sing-a-long and table tennis, to wood crafting and theatre. There’s something for everyone at the open house, whether it’s a physical activity, a mental one or a casual pastime.
