Winter 2015

Accessibility is about creating an environment that welcomes everyone.

So what are some of the ways Kamloops works to create this welcoming environment?

Recreation: The City of Kamloops has adapted yoga, zumba, hockey, floor hockey, and swimming to engage all resident. Visit page 13 for program details. For people who wants to participate in typical programming but need some support, City staff are partners in finding solutions. The ARCH program (page 6) helps with cost of accessing City of Kamloops programs and facilities.

Volunteer and non profit organizations like Kamloops Adapted Sports Association, YMCA, People In Motion, and Adapted Sports at Sun Peaks deliver high quality programming for all abilities. Visit page 13 for contact information.

Planning and Development: City Council, City of Kamloops staff, and Kamloops businesses are always looking for ways to create a more exclusive city - curb cuts, audible traffic signals, designed parking stalls, access ramps, universal washrooms, change room fitted with equiment to support different needs, accessible parks and playground, handrails, and benches.

The Mayor’s Advisory Committee for Persons with Disabilities help inform City Council and staff decisions on accessibility issues. Ground members represent all sectors, including: School District, Interior Health, mental health, employment, transportation, and residents, including seniors.

Together we are Making Kamloops Shine!

Family Literacy Matters for Families Literacy is important for all of us, no matter how old or young we are. Literacy helps us participate fully in family, work and community. Literacy is the ability to read, write and do mathematics, but it is also about problem solving, decision making, technology and social skills. The more literate we become, the better we understand our world.

Be curious by welcoming different experiences and finding subjects and topics fascinating to yourself and your children.

www.literacyinkamloops.ca

Fun activities to encourage literacy • P laying board games together as a family promotes social skills, reading and rules for fair play • B uild a Lego structure. This activity involves colours, counting, shapes, and lots of creativity • Play eye spy while hiking or playing at the park • R ead a book to your child as part of your bedtime routine • M ake a game out of sorting laundry; separate colours and types of clothes

What are the magic words? Please and thank you of course! In the generation of texting, emails and social media we have less face-to-face interaction so these words are more important than ever.

Please and thank you are not just about being polite, but about providing each other with the capacity to express respect, gratitude and kindness. Using these words at home will help children and youth at school, and in the community.

Perhaps the hardest change for most people is focusing on your own activity and role-modeling a healthy lifestyle for your child; however, it is essential. Prioritize your own well-being because you deserve it and your children need to see you taking care of yourself.

That’s how they’ll learn how to take care of themselves.

If you’re staying home during the holiday season, fight cabin fever and boredom while having fun and developing movement skills with the entire family.

2. Bowling. Kids love the shoes and the pop soundtrack most bowling alleys play these days and parents will love reliving their youth and creating family memories.

Early Years Unstructured Play

Here are some suggestions:

We know that both structured activities and free play are essential for kids’ development. But times have changed and for so many of us, with both parents working, there is often no other option but to program children to exhaustion.

• M ake frequent outings to the playground and create a special theme for the trip • Build a snow fort at the park • Visit farms, forests, and ravines where kids can explore and be in nature • Choose a program that values free play, discovery and creative time for kids • Include lots of downtime in the evenings and on weekends

How can we make sure that our kids get their unstructured time and as parents we don’t over program?

Youth

2. I t takes time for a change to become a habit.

It takes time for habits to become a routine part of your life. Your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing you’re doing is part of your regular routine.

Unleash your super powers!

Your teenage years are a great time to begin discovering your talents, interests and your passion. When we start to discover who we are and what direction we want to take our life, we begin to discover the super powers within.

Dream big with SMART goals.

1. S MART - Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely goals work best.

Ensure your goals are specific and realistic. For example: “I’m going to recycle all my plastic bottles, soda cans, and magazines” is a much more doable goal than “I’m going to do more for the environment.”

3. R epeating a goal makes it stick.

Write down your goal and say your goal out loud each morning. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you’re training your brain to make it happen.

4. P leasing other people doesn’t work.

The key to making any change is to find the desire within yourself — you have to do it because you want it, not because a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent, or someone else wants you to.

5. Roadblocks

don’t mean failure.

Slip-ups are actually part of the process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking. It may take a few tries to reach a goal but that’s okay — it’s normal to slip up or give up a few times. Just remind yourself to get back on track. www.kidshealth.org

New year, new adventures!

Be daring in 2016 and unleash those super powers from deep within! Having the courage to do something outside your comfort zone begins to tap into the super powers that can have the biggest impact on your life.

Here are some superpowers we all wish to cultivate more richly in our lives, with ideas to get you started!

Appreciation: Even as the snow starts to fly, look outside at our beautiful surroundings! Is it easy to take for granted that we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth!

Creativity: It requires courage to allow creativity to flow from within us, whether it be through art, music, cooking, or movement. Take one step towards a creative pursuit.

Curiosity: Curiosity allows for discovery! Are you curious about where a trail or pursuit may lead? Take a first step in a new journey.

Love of learning: Always be open to learning from those around you. We all have something to share that can make the lives of those around us richer.

Perseverance: Have you set a big goal for 2016?

Have the courage to set goals bigger than may feel comfortable, and when the going gets tough, persevere! Anything worth achieving will feel uncomfortable at times.

Zest: Have the courage to see the positive in every situation. This will help you approach life with more excitement and energy than if your perspective is bleak.

Did you know?

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull.

Facts: • The brain is vulnerable if you have not recovered from a concussion.

• An improvement in symptoms such as headache and dizziness does not mean your brain has recovered.

• Safe and proper management of concussions is to ensure full recovery of the brain before allowing an athlete to return to play.

• Baseline testing of athletes prior to starting their sporting season will assess their physical and mental systems and is the safest way to return to play.

For more information on concussion management please contact: Tyler Evans PT, Drake Medox Physiotherapy tevans@drakemedox.com 844-201-8267
