The days are already getting shorter and colder, making it a great time to pick up a new indoor activity.

This winter, everyone in Chilliwack has the opportunity to stay active, healthy and connected. Whether you’re trying a new indoor activity or pursuing an old favourite, I encourage you to stay active and healthy with one of the programs within this Leisure Guide.

On behalf of Chilliwack City Council, I would like to thank our many partners that help make Chilliwack so special. This Leisure Guide is the result of partnerships between the City of Chilliwack, the Association of Community Programmers, and School District No. 33, who assist in the support of the Community School Associations. Each contributor to the Leisure Guide brings with them an expertise that collectively addresses the needs and interests of the residents in our community. Likewise, many of our facilities are operated by an independent contractor with the expertise and knowledge best suited for daily operations.

They help shape the recreational programming we all enjoy.

Please take a moment to read through this guide, see what it has to offer and take advantage of all the amazing ways you can get involved. You can visit us online at www.chilliwack.com to keep up to date on what’s happening in the community, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Sincerely, Mayor Sharon Gaetz

The Parks, Recreation & Culture Department is divided into three different divisions: Administration, Civic Facilities and Parks with each division overseeing specific components of the department.

Administration is responsible for facility rentals and the allocation to user groups of over 58 sports fields and 95 ball diamonds which are owned and operated by either the City of Chilliwack or School District #33. This division acts as a liaison for the Community School programs as well as other community program and special event providers.

With culture being an integral part of the Department’s portfolio, the Administration Division also provides support to many of the community’s cultural program providers in particular the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society.

Marketing and promotion of the Department falls under the mandate of the Administrative Division. It is also where you can inquire into other department initiatives such as mobile vending, street entertainment and the Park Bench Donations/Recognition Program.

The Civic Facilities Division oversees the maintenance and direct operations of a vast number of facilities, some being; six fire halls, Evergreen Hall, the new Cultural Centre, the Museum/ Archives, all park washrooms,

Twin Rinks, Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, the two Leisure Centres, Rotary Pool, the three Libraries, the RCMP building and Heritage Park just to name a few.

This division of Parks, Recreation and Culture also oversee several of the service and operating agreements between the City of Chilliwack and contracted operators of several of our Civic properties.

As well Civic Facilities is involved in many of the City’s capital building projects whether retrofitting an existing facility or the building of a new one.

Our Parks Division is one of the reasons Chilliwack is regarded as one of the most beautiful communities in the lower mainland. The maintenance of the City’s community green spaces which includes 102 parks, 14 community parks, 19 neighborhood and 68 subneighborhood parks fall under the umbrella of this division. They also administer the maintenance and development of over 24 trails totaling approximately 70km.

This division is also responsible for the designing, building and maintaining of the community playgrounds and skate parks. If you have enjoyed incorporating the Jinkerson and Weeden stairs into your wellness program you can thank the Parks Division. It was their vision and hard work that brought these gems to fruition.

Parks & Trails Top Five Dog Tips for Local Parks and Trails License Your Dog A license isn’t just a fashion accessory for your beloved pooch, it helps identify your dog if it gets lost.

Leash Make sure your pet is under control.

Whereas you may be comfortable around your pet, others may not be. An over excited or aggressive animal can increase others discomfort or fear.

Unleash The City of Chilliwack has off-leash locations for your dog to run freely.

They are: South Chilliwack – The former Canadian Forces Base at Nord Road North Chilliwack – Island 22 at Cartmell Road When visiting the off-leash areas please keep toys and snacks off site and remain on site with your pet at all times.

Don’t forget to leash your pet on your way to or when leaving the off-leash area Pick-Up Remember to pick up anything your dog has left behind.

Waterfowl in Parks

Digging Dogs love to dig however we ask that they not do so in our parks or along our trails.

Chilliwack’s Water Spray Parks

The City of Chilliwack has two water spray parks available for the public’s enjoyment. The parks are located at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre and at the Cheam Centre in Garrison Crossing.

Each of these park areas also provide picnic space and leisure opportunities for young and old to participate in.

WINTER/SPRING 2014 CHILLIWACK LEISURE GUIDE

While it is enjoyable to feed the waterfowl, it is detrimental to them and our environment and creates numerous problems such as: • Disturbs natural migration patterns leading to a high concentration of birds • Overcrowding can lead to disease and fighting amongst the population • Feeding destroys the bird natural ability to forage and find food for themselves • Deprives the birds of essential nutrients • It reduces useable areas due to large amount of feces and aggressive fowl Feeding waterfowl is also illegal and can result in a fine of up to $2000 (Bylaw #2974).

Please help us control the waterfowl population; and remember, real geese do not eat bread.

Parks

Exhibition Artificial Turf Field To accommodate the future need of sports fields in our growing community, the Exhibition Field and Grandstands were upgraded into a high-end artificial turf facility this year. The construction began in June 2013 and was completed in September. The Grand Opening took place on October 19 and was attended by many people in the community.

The updates for the Exhibition grounds include a large all-weather game field with CFL, American Football, and soccer lines to accommodate many sports groups, a practice turf field the size of half a field located north of the game field thanks to a generous donation from the Chilliwack FC, as well as a warmup area west of the game field that was donated by AstroTurf Canada, the company that supplied and installed the turf. The upgrade to the Grandstands and washrooms included heat installation in the washrooms so they could be used all year long, as well as insulation and railing installation in the Grandstands.

The new artificial turf field has some appealing features including; • supports 6x more playing time than grass fields, • no resting periods necessary, • no closures due to weather unless there is standing snow on the field, • maintenance costs are similar to premier grass fields, • able to lessen environmental impact by using recycled tires as part of the infill material thanks to funding from the Tire Stewardship of BC, and lastly, • more hours of play will give the grass fields a rest.

The new field has been kept busy since it opened with weeknight soccer and football, soccer games all day Saturday including mini-ball games that are able to be held 4 at a time on the new field, and various games for both youth and adult groups throughout the weekend.

There has also been some special events hosted at the new Exhibition Grounds including a Homecoming Game for G.W. Graham’s football team held on October 11 that drew in a large crowd as well as UFV Cascades Men’s and Women’s Soccer games.

Comparing Exhibition’s field usage from last season to this season (AugustMarch), the field has already gone from 384 hours of play last year, to 1273 hours of play plus 205 hours of ½ field bookings this year. That means the field usage has increased almost 4x since it has been upgraded to turf.

Swimming Lesson Descriptions Parent & Tot (6 – 35 months) In this program we introduce your child to water, build their water confidence, and educate you as the parent on pertinent water safety. Our program consists of singing songs and playing interactive games, through fun group activities we will appeal to your child’s curiosity and desire for play, while we increase their comfort in and under the water. In addition, we will promote balance and movement; and begin swim skill acquisition.

Preschool 1 (Ages 3 – 5) In this beginner level, all skills are assisted by the instructor. Using games and activities, swimmers will learn to submerge, open their eyes under water, develop basic floats, glides and kick.

Preschool 2 – 3 (Ages 3 – 5) Swimmers will further develop unassisted floats, glides, and kicking. They will learn to swim up to 10 metres, and perform skills in deep water.

Preschool 4 – 5 (Ages 3 – 5) Swimmers will increase their swimming distance to 20 metres, and their surface support to 20 seconds. They will learn the fundamentals of front crawl, back swim and be introduced to whip kick. The majority of this class is taught in deep water.

Swim Kids 1 – 2 (Ages 6+) This entry level program provides an orientation to safety around the water and pool area. Floats and glides with kick are introduced. Children build their endurance using flutter kick with assisted glides.

Swim Kids 3 – 5 (Ages 6+) These levels build the child’s skill in front and back crawl, diving, sculling, and whip kick. They are taught to be water safe by understanding their own limits and learning boating skills. Endurance is achieved by building strength in the flutter kick and dolphin kick, up to a 50-metre swim.

Swim Kids 6 – 7 Front and back crawl continue to be refined. Elementary backstroke and whip kick on the front are introduced. Ice safety, choking, and elementary rescue of others with throwing assists are taught.

Endurance is built to a 150-metre swim.

Swim Kids 8 – 10 Breaststroke and scissor kick are introduced, and all strokes continue to be refined. Surface dives, rescues from ice, and rescue breathing are taught.

They learn about fitness and making wise choices. Endurance is built using dolphin kick, butterfly drills and a 500-metre swim.

WHERE’S YOUR WINTER CVAA Members

December 19 - January 18 2014 This traditional annual “Winter Season� show has become a much-anticipated popular exhibit with CVAA members and the community alike. The topic has remained the same for the past three years but participating artists and their individual images are as new and vibrant as ever and will include images and memories from artists who spend the winter months in warmer climes.

PLANES + CHARACTERS Sandra Wiens & Pierre Tremblay

January 23 - March 8, 2014 Pierre Tremblay and Sandra Wiens both enjoy working with the physicality of paint but with different outcomes. Pierre Tremblay has focused on playing with the conventions of portraiture.

Taking Action NOW! For the Health of Your Community.

Children and Youth

Framed by a solution oriented, evidenced-based health message, Live 5-2-1-0, the Healthy Kids Initiative was launched in December 2012. We are engaging the community and leveraging the wonderful organizations, services, and programs already underway in Chilliwack, to work towards a future where the healthy choice, is the easy choice for our children.

Community Health Our goal is that the citizens of Chilliwack to Boston Bar are inspired, educated and engaged in taking responsibility for their own health and the health of their communities. By working with businesses and organizations, we strive to make the healthy choice, the easy choice, for everyone.

Hospital Initiatives Working with our local doctors through the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, and with Chilliwack General Hospital and Fraser Health Authority, we are identifying priorities and initiatives to enhance patient care and services at our local hospital. Recent donations include the purchase of equipment for the Primary Care Seniors Clinic located in Chilliwack General Hospital.

Seniors In an age-friendly community seniors are supported to live healthy, active, socially engaged, independent lives. We recognize that seniors are valuable assets to our communities and want to ensure that they are inspired to do so. To accomplish this we are engaging with seniors and with organizations that work with seniors to identify priorities and initiatives.

Chilliwack Hospital & Health Care Foundation, a LOCAL board of directors working to address LOCAL health issues.

YMCA Membership Finding time to be active as a busy family can be challenging. At the Chilliwack Family YMCA, we not only provide a supportive and caring place for you and your kids, we also offer convenient programs that make it a little easier to live a healthy lifestyle. This means our memberships include free drop-in programs and activities for both kids and adults at the best times of day.

Every membership at the Y is all-inclusive and includes:

• Swim lessons and drop-in programs for children, teens and adults • Active children’s programming at convenient times of day • More than 60 drop-in group fitness classes including Yoga, Cyclefit and Bootcamp • Wide variety of strength and conditioning equipment • Access to other YMCA membership centres in Canada • Reduced rates for childminding

WINTER/SPRING 2014 CHILLIWACK LEISURE GUIDE

Aquatics

We believe every child should learn to swim and be safe in and around the water. That’s why YMCA memberships include continuous swim lessons that are convenient and allow children to progress at their own pace.

• We help kids jump in, have fun, learn to swim and grow their confidence.

• Our programs—from Bobbers to Stars—give your kids the skills needed for a lifetime of safe fun in the water.

• Membership makes it easy for families to be active together with recreational swimming and family swimming at convenient times.

• Membership includes all-day access to Aquafit and lane swimming.

• For those 16 and older who have their Bronze Cross, NLS or Star 6 accreditation already, we offer a course in how to become a YMCA Swim Instructor.

MEND - Mind, Exercise, Nutrition... Do It!

Trying to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle can be challenging. With school, an abundance of screen time and a busy family life, kids are spending less time being active and as a result, many are above a healthy weight.

Helping kids grow up strong and healthy is why the YMCA exists.

That’s why we offer MEND, a provincially funded program that empowers children and families to become fitter and healthier.

This free and fun 10-week program supports children ages 7-13 who are above a healthy body weight to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Parents/caregivers join their children in each session to learn about how to choose healthier foods and spend more time being physically active.

46

WINTER/SPRING 2014 CHILLIWACK LEISURE GUIDE

Children

Parents with young kids are tight on time and energy. That’s why we focus on making our programs easy to fit into your schedule, while giving you the chance to exercise and recharge.

Whether you’re playing games together on Family Night, dropping in for a swim, exposing your child to new activities or each finding your own way to get fit, rest assured that you are growing together as a family at the Y. Activities for children include: • Swim Lessons • Active Play • Creative Play • Active Games • Gymnastics • Tumble Time • Freak Out Friday

Licensed Child Care

Choosing a child care provider is a big decision. You want your child to feel at home, learn, grow and have fun in an environment that is welcoming, safe and stimulating.

And most of all you want caring and supportive caregivers who understand what makes your child special.

Through both our early years and before and after school licensed programs, kids learn values and positive behaviours in a supportive environment. Children have the opportunity to be active, have fun and develop confidence. Plus, parents get the peace of mind knowing that children are active and learning while spending time with friends and positive adult role models.

We offer programs for the following ages: • Infant and toddler (0-36 months) • 3-5 year olds • Preschool • 5-12 year olds (before and after school) WINTER/SPRING 2014 CHILLIWACK LEISURE GUIDE

47

Youth

Studies show that today’s youth feel alone. The Y believes it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why we are committed to keeping youth engaged and active with opportunities to participate, learn, grow and lead.

Visit www.vanymca.org for further info.

Youth Leadership Development Youth Leadership Development (YLD) helps youth build self-esteem, lifelong friendships and develop strong leadership skills. Activities include team building, social events, volunteer opportunities, fundraising, Interact Club (sponsored by Rotary), special events and a youth conference weekend.

YMCA Strong Kids Campaign

Every kid deserves a chance. What do you think about a child’s need to get a good start in life? The YMCA Strong Kids campaign is our way of raising the funds needed to ensure children and families can live healthier lives, right from the start. To donate, visit ymcastrongkids.ca, or to enquire about the YMCA Access Program, please visit the Chilliwack Family YMCA.

There is a seven acre field for outdoor concerts and festivals as well as plenty of space for camping with your event.

There is also a 5/8 mile race track and rodeo arena as well as two outdoor sand arenas for your many different equestrian and agricultural events.

All arenas are equipped with outdoor lighting for those evening rentals.

Heritage Park, which has been operational since July 2001, is ideally and conveniently located just off the Trans Canada Highway at Exit 116.

This allows for easy access by those within Chilliwack as well as people living in the Lower mainland. The striking presence of this 150,000 square foot red building and 65 acre grounds also

attracts travellers from all over the Canada, as well as many visitors from the United States.

Heritage Park is a versatile facility.

Features include a flexible public address system, box office and show office. The building is comprised of four floors; two are concrete floors that measure approximately 35,000 square feet each. There is also a 48,000 square foot dirt floor and a 30,000 square foot dirt floor. We have 150 portable box stalls for your equestrian event that can be put up on either the concrete or dirt floors, depending on your requirements. The building houses a portable stage, as well as tables and chairs. Our washroom facilities include showers and are handicapped accessible.

Heritage Park is not only a fine multiuse facility, but it also offers you a management and staff who are committed to your satisfaction. We would be pleased to work with you to help make your event a success.
