Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

I love thee, Lord Jesus!

Look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Drummer Boy Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, So, to honour Him, pa rum pum pum pum, When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum That’s fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, On my drum?

Mary Nodded, pa rum pum pum pum, The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum I play my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum me and my drum

Wishing you a wonderfully magical holiday season!

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King!

Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!

Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With the angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King!

Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with man to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Hark, the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King!

Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace, Hail the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings.

Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

Hark, the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King.

Deck the Halls Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year pass es, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together, Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Toys in ev’ry store, But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.

Frosty the Snowman Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.

O Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.

Thumpety thump thump thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day So he said

“Let’s run and we’ll have some fun now before I melt away “Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all around the square saying Catch me if you can.

He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!”

For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye saying “Don’t you cry I’ll be back again some day.

“Thumpety thump thump thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow.

O Christmas Tree O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!

How lovely are thy branches!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely are thy branches!

Not only in the summertime, But even in winter is thy prime.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely are thy branches!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

For every year the Christmas tree, Brings to us all both joy and glee.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Thy candles shine out brightly!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Thy candles shine out brightly!

Each bough doth hold its tiny light, That makes each toy to sparkle bright.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Thy candles shine out brightly!

O Come, All Ye Faithful O Come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.

Come and behold Him, born the King of angels; Refrain O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal, Lo, he shuns not the Virgin’s womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created; Refrain Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!

Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

Refrain See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle, Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze; We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps; Refrain Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger, We would embrace Thee, with love and awe; Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly?

Refrain Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

Refrain

The First Noel The first Noel, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Refrain This star drew night to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Refrain Refrain Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.

Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon their knee; And offered there in his presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

Refrain And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went.

Joy to the World Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessing flow; far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found.

Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains; Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders of His love.

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb “Do you see what I see?

Way up in the sky, little lamb Do you see what I see?

A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite.”

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king “Do you know what I know?

In your palace warm, mighty king Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold.”

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy “Do you hear what I hear?

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the the sea With a voice as big as the the sea.”

Said the king to the people everywhere “Listen to what I say Pray for peace, people, everywhere Listen to what I say The Child, the Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light.”

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen.

But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw it you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names they never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say:

“Rudolph with your nose so bright won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee (yippee) “Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer you’ll go down in history.”

FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY

FST is assisted stretching that is performed by a Certified Fascial Stretch Therapist. This technique uses modified proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Clients using the FST system isometrically contract their muscles with as little as 5% and hold for 3-4 seconds.

Fascial Stretch Therapy is based on original research, neuroscience and on emerging new discoveries in fascia. It is a unique, complete and complementary system focusing on the fascia and joint capsule as the key elements in achieving optimal flexibility, strength, performance and pain relief.

Saanich Parks and Recreation Active Living Guide

Swimming HOME SCHOOL SWIM LESSONS 5yrs+

These lessons will provide home-schooled children with the opportunity to take Red Cross Swim Lessons while interacting with other children their age. Each child will receive a 30- or 45-minute swim lesson (depending on level) and 30 minutes of fun swim time. Parents must accompany each child into the water for their fun swim time following the lesson. All swim levels welcome!

TEEN SWIM LESSONS 12 to 16yrs

These lessons allow you to set your own goals while swimming with other teens. Whether you’re just learning how to swim or brushing up on strokes, these lessons are a perfect way of socializing while improving confidence in the water!

ADULT SWIM LESSONS

This program is designed to meet the individual needs of all ages. The built-in flexibility of the program allows the instructor to tailor the classes to meet your needs based on your personal goals and rate of progress.

SENIOR SWIM LESSONS

Senior swim lessons during a quiet time in the pool. Whether you’re a beginner or just want to brush up on technique, join our experienced instructors for 45 minutes in the pool and then sit and have coffee or tea in our lobby.

PRIVATE/SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS Sometimes a little help can make a big difference!

You now have two options of private/semi-private lessons with Saanich Aquatics: Simple Set and custom lessons.

SIMPLE SET Looking for one-on-one instruction? Do your strokes need a boost or refresher? With Simple Set lessons, you choose a time that works for you within the advertised set schedule and receive personalized instruction for the entire lesson set. Instructor requests will be considered, but cannot be guaranteed. Only one participant per block. Book on-line or over the telephone with reception today!

CUSTOM LESSONS Our most flexible lesson option. The private lesson technician will work with you to find the best fit for days, times and instructor.

All classes must be booked within a single season. Call 250-475-7104 for Gordon Head or 250-475-7608 for Commonwealth Pool to customize your private lesson.

Missed Group and Simple Set Lessons Due to the number of participants in the learn-to-swim program, we are unable to schedule make-up lessons.

Report Cards To keep a complete record of your swimming lessons, please bring your report card to your instructor on the first day of lessons.

Lesson Supervisor Did you know that during all lesson times there’s an on-deck lesson supervisor? This person is available to answer questions, help you with any concerns and provide a link between you and the instructor (as instructors have limited time between classes). Look for the person in a blue tank top at Gordon Head or a purple staff shift Saanich Commonwealth and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Quick Facts

Play More, Get Active, Explore Nature

about Saanich Parks 169 Parks Over 820 hectares of parkland 100km of trails 35 tennis courts, 9 with pickleball lines 2 lacrosse boxes 62 sports fields 57 playgrounds 3 lawn bowling greens 1 horseshoe club 21 basketball/sport courts 1 skate park 1 water park 37 beach accesses

Saanich Parks has something for everyone – ocean beaches, creeks, lakes, meadows, forests, playgrounds, gardens, viewpoints, multi-use trails and sportsfields.

Working in partnership with the community, our mission is to create opportunities that enrich the community, sustain quality environments and support healthy lifestyles.

What’s New in Parks Swan Creek Restoration Collaborating with the Capital City Allotment Association (CCAA), the Friends of Swan Creek, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Pacific Salmon Foundation and the Peninsula Streams Society, Saanich Parks and Saanich Storm and Wastewater implemented the planned restoration of a segment of Swan Creek from Highway 17 to the Kent Road pedestrian bridge.

All of the work was located within the allotment gardens. The CCAA was involved in the planning and preliminary work of the project leading up to the in-stream portion.

Before

Under expert technical guidance and on-site supervision, crews cleaned a 215m stretch of Swan Creek from heavy sediment loading.

Re-establishing the creek channel profile improves the habitat value of the creek as well as improving storm water capacity. Parks installed several sediment detention ponds within the creek bed to properly capture sediment and provide future access for routine sediment removal.

The impacts of flooding also introduced large amounts of garden debris and invasive species into the creek. Removal of this unwanted debris aids in the creek’s riparian recovery. During communications with the CCAA, an agreement was made to improve the garden maintenance habits of members to prevent future impact to the creek. Saanich Parks is teaming up with several volunteer groups to replant the riparian area with native species to reduce erosion and provide increased canopy cover for healthier fish habitat.

Cuthbert Holmes Park Cuthbert Holmes Park brings nature to the city with its forest, the Colquitz River, salmon run and fish-counting fence, a variety of birds and other wildlife. Council approved a management plan for the park on Sept. 14. Its focus is to protect and restore natural areas, enhance recreation and increase visitors' sense of security. Visitors will notice ongoing restoration work and a few changes over the coming years: the trail system will be improved and named trails will be shown on orientation signs, interpretive signs will showcase the park's natural features and wildlife – and explain how to protect them. In addition, creation of a space for off-trail, informal recreation in an area currently choked with invasive English hawthorn is in the plan. To see more details, check out saanich.ca/chp. Visit soon if you haven't already discovered this special park.

Brodick Park Playground

Emily Carr Park Playground

The playground at Brodick Park is open! Come check out the new nature inspired play equipment. Improvements include a new playground footprint, park furniture and trees.

Completed this past summer, the playground is a marked improvement over the old equipment that had not received much attention for many years. The playground features includes a slide, log steppers, horizontal ladder, bobble rider, tree house roof and swings.

Saanich Parks worked with Broadmead Area Residents Association and a small parent advisory group on design concept for this new playground. The design complies with many site constraints within a limited space but still manages to expand the playground. The primary focus was on the two to five age group with some five to 12 age components. The play trails are an added feature to incorporate more play value in the park and should appeal to all ages.
