Welcome Message

The City also works with many organizations in town focused on bringing people together and addressing the needs of the whole community. This fall we will host a Community Association forum geared at supporting and bringing residents of neighbourhoods together, see more on page #. The fourth annual Homelessness Action Week will take place October 8-12, 2012 and is a week dedicated to raising awareness about homelessness issues BC (more information at www.kamloopshap.ca). The Social Planning Council will also open the call for proposals in September for the 2013 Social Planning Grants, page #. The impact that these grants have on our community are profound. For example, the 2012 grants supported 16 organizations with projects ranging from helmet safety for youth to the Snow Angels Snow Removal Program for seniors in our community.

The City endeavors to promote Council’s strategic goals of economy, livability, environment, governance, and infrastructure, throughout the community in as many ways as possible. By working towards creating strong partnerships and open communication lines with residents, businesses, community and neighborhood associations, and government organizations, we continually strive to provide strong networks to progressively link our community together.

We take pride in what we do and do our best to make the lives of everyone who makes Kamloops their home just that much better.

Making Kamloops Shine… working tirelessly together to make our beautiful city the best place on Earth

Ben I began calling Kamloops home just over four years ago, and it still feels like I’m living in a place others would call a vacation destination. Blazing summers, mild winters and endless accessible indoor and outdoor recreation – Kamloops has it all.

As Community Development Coordinator, I’ve had the pleasure of working in partnership with residents, businesses, and non-profit organizations to address the challenges facing every city. One great example is community associations – volunteer groups who support their neighborhood by organizing events, projects, and keeping people connected to the City.

Making Kamloops Shine will always be a group effort and I’m fortunate and proud to be a part of this amazing city.

(9-12 yrs) $48 » Oct 14-Dec 9 11:00 AM-12:00 PM Sun 199263 “Having Mallory participate in a community special needs sports has been such a rewarding experience. Not only for her but for us as parents. Mallory broke her fear of skating because she had an opportunity to try playing hockey where the expectation was to have fun.

Every child has different levels of need and she always felt included. She experienced an out of town tournament and her team won most sportsmanship. As parents we were able to take in an experience we thought we might never be able to do. We were so proud when Mallory scored her first goal as she looked up at us with a grin from ear to ear. Given the opportunity and chance, with the right support and encouragement children with special needs will reach their goals. This program was proof for our daughter. “ Gail and Dave Bagri.

Aquatics

Kamloops Aquatics is committed to fostering a safe, positive aquatic environment by providing quality sport, recreation and wellness programs for a diverse population.

Swim for Life Basic swimming ability is a fundamental requirement in any meaningful attempt to eliminate drowning in Canada. We support the Lifesaving Society’s belief that swimming is a life skill that all children need to learn, just like fire safety or street-proofing.

• The Lifesaving Society estimates half of Canadian children never take traditional swimming lessons - even though “swimming” is the second most popular activity (after bicycling) in Canada among school-age children between 5 and 12 years of age.

• Swim skills are not innate - they need to be taught - and all children deserve the chance to learn.

• Drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death for Canadian children. Research shows that most drownings occur close to safety. The Lifesaving Society believes that if every child in Canada possessed basic swimming abilities that the drowning rate would be reduced by half.

Did You Know?

Over 6,500 people participated in our learn to swim and lifesaving courses in 2011 In 2011 we hosted 14 events with a total of 3,450 competitors Between Jan. 1 and Mar. 29, 2012, Kamloops swimmers and swim clubs swam over 20,000 km. to celebrate the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay.

A Note to Parents about Swim Lessons Schedules: in an effort to provide the most up-to-date information, we include only general swim lesson schedule information in the Activity Guide.

For Shawna, the most rewarding part of teaching swimming is watching kids who previously struggled with a skill succeed - you can see the excitement on their faces when they get it! Shawna’s extensive aquatic experience has enabled her to become a successful Deck Leader.

She loves the challenges of the role and enjoys being able to offer advice and support to her team.

Our programming focuses on introducing your child to other children through group play, reading (letters and numbers), art and crafts, and physical activity. Your child will be introduced to physical movements such as balance, coordination, and flexibility in addition to basic skills in running, jumping, throwing and catching.

Our goal is to enhance the ability of our community to support the healthy development of children and their families. Partnerships in the community such as Make Children First and Success by 6 make this goal possible. These programs look to develop emotional; social; cognitive; and physical skills for children aged 0-6 before entering school.

Is your child coordinated and physically confident?

Individuals who are physically literate move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.

The Canadian Sport for Life movement identifies the Active Start stage for children from 0 – 6 years as being important in developing physical literacy.

During these years children need to be introduced to unstructured active play that incorporates a variety of body movements. Children this age need to develop the ABCs of movement – Agility, Balance, Coordination, and Speed.

An early active start enhances development of brain function, physical coordination, gross motor skills, and posture and balance. It also helps children to build confidence, social skills, emotional control, and imagination while reducing stress and improving sleep.

SCHOOL IS BACK...

DRIVE WITH CARE!

Motorists are reminded that students are now back to school. The reduced posted speed limit of 30 km/h in all school zones is in force from 8 am to 5 pm on all regular school days. In Canada, pedestrian incidents are the leading cause of death for children under the age of 14. Most incidents occur between 3 and 6 pm, when motorists are coming home from work and when children may be walking home from school. To help make it safer in the school zone, consider leaving your car at home and encouraging your child to walk or bike; organize a walking school bus; or carpool with other families.

Tips for Motorists: • Slow down and drive with extra care around schools and play grounds.

• Drop off and pick up your child on a less congested street.

Tips for Pedestrians: • Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street so you know they see you and they know you see them.

• Look left, then right, then left again.

• Always yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

• Never jaywalk! Always use the crosswalk.

• Be alert to vehicles stopped in the lane next to you as they may be yielding for a pedestrian.

• Remove your headphones and put away your phone when crossing the street.

• Do not stop in “No Parking” or “No Stopping” zones or designated bike lanes.

Take advantage of social moments and unplug and play in your home with the whole family. All it takes is 15 minutes a day of reading, writing and being active. Engage in fun activities such as reading books with actions; follow a recipe for cooking or baking; singing and playing music or any other family fun activity that promotes literacy.

Family SPORTS

Car Seat Safety Tips 1. You must re-adjust the harness every time the baby is place in the car seat.

Family Sports with Shorts $48 Ages: 2½+

You should be able to just slide two fingers under the straps at your child’s collarbone.

Remember - for rear facing seats, straps should originate just below the child’s shoulders at the back. On forward facing seats, they should be at the shoulder or slightly above.

Build a healthy lifestyle with your family through games and activities that focus on the ABCs of fundamental movements: Agility, Balance, Coordination, and Speed.

Parent participation required.

2. Canadian Law states that all forward facing child seats must be tethered.

TCC - Tournament Capital Centre » Sep 26-Nov 14 8:45-9:45 AM Wed 197535

Please read the owner’s manual that comes with your vehicle for placement, tips and proper anchoring technique. If your older vehicle does not have a designated anchor, most dealerships will install one for you at no cost. If anchors cannot be installed, you will have to make other transportation arrangements.

3. The best place for your child is in the middle of the back seat.

In this age of compact cars, most only have UAS (Universal Anchoring System) anchors for the left and the right seats.

In that case, use your middle seat belt to anchor. General rule of thumb is no more than 1 inch of slide, side-to-side. By splitting anchors, you will allow for too much movement.

4. No clothing or blankets should come between your baby and the harness strap.

Nothing should come between baby and the harness strap!

Bulky bunting bags and snowsuits can compress in a crash and baby may be ejected out of the seat. Dress babe in a warm sleeper, a sweater and booties and use rolled up receiving blankets to cushion the head.

5. Average lifespan of a car seat is approximately 6 years, please reference Transport Canada website for lifespan by manufacturer.

The average lifespan of a car seat is only about 6 years (see Transport Canada website for lifespan by manufacturer). Using an expired seat may void portions of your car insurance should you be involved in a crash.

Adult Pre and Postnatal Care and Programs Exercise is an important component to overall health and wellness, at any time during a woman’s life, and this also holds true during and after pregnancy.

The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiologists, in conjunction with the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada recommends that “all women without contradictions should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strengthconditioning exercises as part of a healthy lifestyle during their pregnancy”. By working with your physician or midwife, you can develop a personalized approach to fitness that will benefit both you and your baby.

Following pregnancy, most women are able to resume exercise within a short period of time (dependent on delivery type and medical clearance).

Engaging in specific exercise that will target the pelvic floor following delivery, will help to strengthen the muscles in this area.

The City of Kamloops is pleased to offer a variety of classes to meet your exercise needs throughout your pregnancy.

Please review the PARmed-X for Pregnancy with your physician or midwife prior to engaging in physical activity.

Aquafitness Aquafit is exercising through movement in water. Water generates natural ‘resistance’ which facilitates a full-body workout at your own pace and intensity.

Buoyancy promotes ‘low impact’ movement by decreasing the shock transmitted through your bones and joints.

Aqualite: For beginner to experienced exercisers looking for low intensity, low impact class in shallow water.

Aquafit: For all levels of exercisers looking for a low impact, high intensity class in shallow water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training.

Deep Water Aquafit: For intermediate to experienced exercisers looking for a no impact, high intensity class in deep water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training and require flotation belts which are provided.

Safe to Participate - PAR-Q and You

Being more active is very safe for most people; however, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.

All Aquafit participants must review the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire

9:00-10:00 am 7:00-8:00 pm

2:00-3:00 pm

2:00-3:00 pm

(PAR-Q) prior to participation. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor before participating. For more details, please talk to the instructor or visit kamloops.ca/swim.

Inflammation, the body’s reaction to fight off infection, guard against injury, or shield against irritation, initially intends to have a protective effect. Untreated chronic inflammation, on the other hand, can lead to the destruction of affected tissues, which can lead to more serious health conditions. If you think or know you have one of the inflammatory conditions above, it is important to talk with both your physician and a dental health professional, such as a periodontist, to help reduce your risk of further disease progression. Dental professionals and medical professionals will often work together for at risk patients.
