WELCOME Waterloo City Council

A message from Mayor Jaworsky

Bob Mavin

councillor, Ward 1 (Southwest)

Welcome to the spring edition of the Program and Activities Guide!

As an age-friendly community, we care for and value all of our citizens, regardless of age. This guide is packed with all the programs and activities you need to keep healthy and active the entire season, whether you like to play cards, swim, dance, relax with yoga or have fun with your friends playing pickleball. There is something for everyone to enjoy.

Every spring, hundreds of people in Waterloo participate in environmental events and I encourage you to join us! There are community clean ups, the 20 Minute Makeover, Earth Hour and Waterloo Earth Day – plenty of opportunities for you and your family to help protect and nurture our environment. Please visit waterloo.ca/earthday for more information.

One of the building blocks of making a great city is good strategic planning. This is where, as a community, we pause and take a good look at where we are and where we want to be. Your ideas and input on issues and projects across the city and the region will help shape the future of Waterloo.

Please visit waterloo.ca/strategicplan and use our online tool to tell us what you think about Waterloo’s future and how we can work together to make our city an even better place to live, work, learn and play.

Be sure to stay current on the events happening around our city by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

Our Kindy Program for pre-school children has been developed by experts in early year development so very young children learn to take their first steps into our fastmoving world with confidence. The key to this is to allow children opportunities to develop skills in verbal communication. These highly creative classes involve storytelling, dramatic play, speech training, creative movement, songs and many language development activities, all based around a central theme. Some of the important life skills our Kindy children learn include; listening, sharing, taking turns, following instructions, memory skills, vocalizing thoughts and emotions.

PRIMARY PROGRAM

The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy believes the Primary years of school are crucial in building a positive approach to life. The extensive curriculum covering these years is designed to quickly develop in creativity, articulate communication and overall confidence.

Introductory activities develop spontaneous language work and ad-lib skills, teaching children how to role play, speak in full sentences and be spontaneous. By doing so, young people become better at resolving conflict and handling situations that may come up in their lives. Speech work is always a very important part of the curriculum.

Children are trained, in a fun way, how to use their voices effectively as a communication tool.

30

SPEECH WORK

Exercises include: Projection - training the children how to breathe and use the full power in their young voices. Jaw, lip and tongue exercises are used to develop good articulation.

Resonance exercises help with the tone and richness of their voices. Expression exercises bring life and vitality to speech.

MOVEMENT AND IMPROVISATION

Children are taught how to use their bodies as an expressive tool, using music, through mime and creative movement. At the Primary level, children work on improvised performance pieces teaching them how to ad-lib and speak out with confidence and energy. Through the Helen O’Grady method, children are able to take on a character, role-play and make up their own lines in a creative way, and learn how to sustain their language development, allowing multiple sentence flow. At the end of the day this training helps children to become articulate and expressive public speakers.

YOUTH PROGRAM

Designed to accommodate teenagers, our Youth program offers further opportunities to students with a continued interest in drama. Whilst the self-development aspect is continued in youth theatre, the approach is more theatre arts orientated. The varied and challenging programme includes, voice work building improvisations, mini-scripts monologues, open ended duologues, soap operas, radio plays and theatre games.

Missed lessons If you miss a scheduled lesson, we are unfortunately unable to make it up. You do not need to call us.

Shower before you swim All swimmers must shower with soap and water before entering the pool. Footwear (shoes or boots) is not allowed near the showers or pool area. We offer two choices: remove your footwear and go barefoot or purchase reusable shoe covers (available at the reception desk for 75¢).

Lesson start time Swimmers should go to the pool deck at the lesson start time (not earlier). Parents can escort their child to the lesson on the first day to meet the instructor. Look for signs on the pool deck with the name of your child’s swim level (ex. Waterloo Splash 2) and wait for the instructor.

Observation gallery Spectators are welcome to watch swimmers from our second floor observation gallery (seats over 300).

Class transfers and new registrants You may switch classes prior to the start of the third lesson if space is available. We will accept new registrants, if space is available, up to the beginning of the fifth lesson.

Feedback day On the sixth lesson, one parent is encouraged to meet the instructor on deck during the last 10 minutes of the class to receive a verbal progress report. If you have concerns about your child’s lessons, speak with the aquatic supervisor. An evaluation form can be found at waterloo.ca/evaluations

Program and lesson cancellations If enrollment is low, the City of Waterloo reserves the right to cancel swim classes up to three days prior to program start dates.

Progress memo At the last lesson, a written progress memo is provided and the instructor will determine the next recommended swim level. Badges may be purchased at reception for all Waterloo Splash and Preschool levels.

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private Lessons

Pre/Post Natal Waterfit

Age: 16Y+ $131.08 The water is a perfect environment for pre and post natal women to prepare for a birth and recuperate following nine months of weight gain and body shape changes. The water counteracts the effect of gravity, unloading the joints and greatly reduces impact. The water provides multi-directional resistance for balanced muscle work and allows individuals to change the workout intensity to suit their needs. The turbulence of the water makes the core stabilizers of the body work while toning the abdominal and back muscles. Thermal conductivity keeps the body refreshed throughout the workout.

IN YOUR CITY

Waterloo’s natural areas Do you live near a natural area?

Help us protect the natural areas in our city!

Respect property boundaries

Respect our wildlife

Encroachment is unauthorized use of public land as an extension of one’s own property.

From mammals and birds, to reptiles, amphibians, and insects, wildlife foster a healthy forest and share it with residents living nearby.

Altering public land by mowing, pruning, or placing items such as garbage, yard waste, sheds, fences, play equipment, composters, vehicles, and bird feeders on public land is not permitted. Encroachment negatively impacts natural areas by smothering native vegetation, introducing non-native species, compacting soil and causing erosion.

Drain pools and hot tubs properly Water from pools and hot tubs is generally laden with chemicals that can have a negative impact on vegetation and water features when drained into a park or natural area.

Place the drain tube on your property, away from the park or natural area, to allow water to filter into the soils in your yard.

Let wildlife feed from the forest Wildlife relies on plants, soils and organic debris for survival. When people harvest from the forest, plants may be depleted allowing undesirable plants to establish. Try planting native plants in your garden to enjoy, while leaving the wild plants for wildlife to use and future generations to admire.

Waterloo is home to non-poisonous snakes. A healthy population of these snakes around your property is beneficial because they can help keep local rodents in check – more so than cats!

A snake will slither away when startled and will not hurt you. Teaching children to observe wildlife from afar will help avoid confrontation while respecting the wildlife and their habitat.

Please do not destroy burrows, nests or other habitat and remember to always stay on designated trails.

To find out more, contact: City of Waterloo Environment and Parks Services P. 519.886.2310 TTY. 1.866.786.3941 E. environment@waterloo.ca

GET INVOLVED! Our Partners in Parks program is a great opportunity for you and your neighbours to adopt a park and help keep it healthy with litter clean-ups and mulching trails. waterloo.ca
