Winter
Active
There are many wonderful health benefits to being WinterActive. Spending time outdoors in the winter sun and the cold & crisp air is so beneficial to our body, spirit and overall well being. Outdoor activities give people a wonderful sense of connection to the outdoor environment. The benefits of natural light and fresh air serve to not only improve physical health, but also enhances our spiritual and emotional health. There is an innate connection to the environment that begins to occur when the body is exposed to the elements. Being outdoors in the winter is simply invigorating and revitalizing. According to Lauraine Myers, research indicates key facts to being outdoors in the winter:
Outdoor activities are de-stressing and contributes to an overall healthy well being.
Balances hormones and promotes weight loss.
Raises metabolism to compensate for your body adjusting to temperature.
An excellent way to strengthen your heart year round, as well as increase respiratory response.
Exposure to natural areas increases positive emotions while negative emotions decrease -even those winter blahs.
*adapted from The Examiner, Lauraine Myers. The winter activity guide features many indoor programs, but also includes several ideas on unplugging and playing outside. Check out pages 30-31 for a list of parks and tot lots in your community.
Get outside, be active, and be healthy! kamloops.ca/recreation 250.828.3500

Aquatics Cold Water Survival
Over many years Canadian doctor Gordon Giesbrecht – also known as Professor Popsicle – has researched the effects of cold water immersion and has coined the phrase ‘1-10-1’ as a simple way to remember the first 3 critical phases of cold water immersion and the approximate time each phase takes. 1 - Cold Shock: An initial deep and sudden gasp followed by severe hyperventilation. You must keep your airway clear or run the risk of drowning. Cold Shock will pass in about 1 minute. Concentrate on avoiding panic and getting control of your breathing. Wearing a lifejacket is critically important to keep you afloat and breathing. 10 - Cold Incapacitation: Over approximately the next 10 minutes you will lose the use of your fingers, arms and legs for any meaningful movement. Concentrate on self-rescue initially and prepare to have a way to keep your airway clear to wait for rescue. Swim failure will occur within these critical minutes and if you are in the water without a lifejacket, drowning will likely occur. 1 - Hypothermia: Even in ice water it could take approximately 1 hour before becoming unconscious due to hypothermia. If you understand the aspects of hypothermia, techniques of how to delay it, self rescue and calling for help, your chances of survival and rescue will be dramatically increased.

Early Years Physical Literacy is about developing the FUNdamental movement skills and the FUNdamental sports skills so kids have the confidence and competence to do ANYTHING they want in order to be active for life. The basic environments where children should learn fundamental movement skills are on the ground, in the water, on the snow and ice and in the air. Just as learning the alphabet is needed to read, the ABCs - agility, balance and coordination are some of the skills that support physical literacy. Some activities to get you started this winter are: - Preschool ice skating - Building a snow man - Making snow angels - Jumping into a pile of snow - Swimming during public swims - Building a snow fort - Signing up for indoor recreation programs 20
Develop your child’s movement vocabulary so they have the best chance at being active for life! Check out our physical literacy programs in our Early Years section.
There are many fun and FREE Winter activities in Kamloops that the whole family can participate in. Here are a few activities and places that will help keep you active during the Winter season.

Children Did you know?
Playing active video games still doesn’t give your children the physical activity that they require. According to activehealthykids.ca, active video games may get heart rates up, but they’re not significantly helping kids get to the 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity required each day. Screen time, including active video games always poses a threat to play; unstructured play in our natural environment. Embrace the cold with a great attitude, warm clothes and spontaneous, unstructured activities. Getting ready to go outside can seem like a daunting task, but why not make it fun? Start by creating a list including pictures of items your child will need to stay warm outside. This can help your child independently get ready - even if they can’t read a list, they can refer to the pictures. You could even make a race out of it! Challenge your child to get ready before you do. Unplugging and reducing your screen time in the winter doesn’t have to be a challenging experience, but rather an opportunity to bond with your child(ren) and enjoy playing together, outside in our natural environment. 24
Doll brothers Whether Hudson (10) and
Luke (9) are playing in their basement, on their driveway or on the ice, their favorite Winter activity is hockey. When they are not playing hockey you will find them public skating at the local arenas or at the WCP outdoor rink. A special winter outing is tubing at Harper mountain.

Outdoor Community Rinks Winter is the time to take part in the age old tradition of getting together with family and friends for skating at the outdoor ice rink. We happily handle a frosty nose and tingling toes for the simple joys of chasing each other around the ice, holding hands with a sweetheart, or slapping a puck with buddies Kamloops has outdoor rinks in Juniper Park - Juniper Ridge, Pineview Valley Community Ice Rink, Centennial Park (Westsyde), and Heffley Creek – Len Haughton Park. These rinks are maintained by community volunteers. So pack a thermos with coffee or hot cocoa, put on some warm clothes, and enjoy the wonderful winter weather at your neighborwood outdoor rink.
Note:
In most cases the rinks are floaded in the late evenings so they all not open for skating during the early day time hours.

Using Your Five Senses to be WinterActive Encourage unstructured active play outside in the snow. Jolanda Hengstman from Sixty Second Parent has an activity that not only gets kids outdoors, but gets them thinking about the outdoors, too. Take your kids on a walk and have them choose one of the five senses and ask them questions about how they are using that sense. Hearing: What do we hear? Is it loud or soft? Can you mimic the sound? These can be natural sounds as well as man-made sounds.
Touch: Can you touch something tall, round, or yellow? Is it rough or smooth? Is it warm or cold? Sight: Play the game “I Spy…” or ask wondering questions like, “How can you see if the wind is blowing?” Taste: What do you think _____ tastes like? Does the air have a taste? Smell: What do you smell? Does this have a smell? You may also increase the fun by challenging your kids to run, jump, hop, skip or slide on snow. For more ways to be active, visit www.activeforlife.ca

Adult GET WINTERACTIVE
While the winter months may seem like the perfect time to curl up, hibernate and enjoy the pleasure of our in home electronics, we encourage you to try something different this year! Why not challenge yourself to put down the electronics and enjoy some time being interactive with your surroundings without the distractions! Leave the phone at home (or at least in the car) and take a snowy hike with friends, try a new activity like cross country skiing, or simply rule one day a week as a digital detox day with the intent of banishing your electronics for the benefits of interacting with others. While you may feel more connected to others by regularly checking your email and updating your Facebook status, research shows that technology addiction is a real concern and can lead to feelings of isolation. So check in with yourself, and have a good look at your tech habits. We challenge you to digitally detox this winter, and get WinterActive with your environment!

Carolynn Boomer Finally...we can officially say CONGRATULATIONS DYLAN on your 2008 Olympic Bronze Medal AND 2010 International Athletics Federation Indoor World Championship Bronze Medal!! Dylan Armstrong is Canada’s first Olympic medallist in a throwing event in almost a century. Armstrong made his Olympic debut at Beijing 2008 where he initially finished fourth, missing out the bronze by just one centimetre. It took six years, but Canadian shot putter Dylan Armstrong is finally getting his Olympic medal! This comes a year after third-place holder Andrei Mikhnevich of Belarus was hit with a lifetime ban for doping. Dylan is a two-time Pan American Games gold medallist (2007, 2011) and the 2010 Commonwealth Games Champion and also won the overall title in shot put for the 2011 Diamond League.

Changes to Competition Introduction Module Delivery - Former Part A and B
Previously, the six multi-sport modules were offered as stand alone or grouped into Part A or Part B workshops. (Part A: Making Ethical Decisions, Planning a Practice, and Nutrition; and Part B: Design a Basic Sport Program, Teaching & Learning, and Basic Mental Skills). The Coaching Association of Canada has moved away from using the language Part A and B in reference to these modules, so they stand alone like the Competition Development modules. Save money and register for the course module bundles, or just sign up for the individual module you need for your sport-specific certification requirements!
