ABOUT THE POOLS FAQ’s - Family Change Room Guidelines This month’s topic may or may not be a sensitive subject depending on your point of view. We often get comments about patrons using change rooms of the opposite sex. Generally this involves younger children and sometimes special needs patrons. The fact that Fritz Sick, Nicholas Sheran, Stan Siwik and Henderson Pools were built many years ago at time when accessibility was not as big a consideration is the major factor creating this issue. Some family change rooms have been added to both Nicholas Sheran and Stan Siwik that have helped to alleviate the problem however the cost to provide unrestricted access to the pools is very large and some would say the money would be better spent on a new facility. The general guideline that we use is that we ask patrons with children in the age range of 6 years & up to use the Family change rooms as there are often patrons who are uncomfortable when they use opposite sex change rooms (if they are old enough to go in to the appropriate change room on their own then please do so). If someone does use opposite sex change rooms with a child that is “older” we will suggest alternatives as our goal is not to be confrontational but rather to find a solution that works for everyone which most times is easier said than done. The best is to try to work with each other to make it as comfortable as possible for everyone.

Some suggestions include but are not limited to: 1) Only use the Family Change rooms if you need to - this will keep them open for those that do need to use them 2) Use change stalls with the curtains if available in the regular change rooms 3) Ask the staff for other alternatives for pools like Henderson and Fritz that don’t have Family Change rooms 4) Be tolerant of other peoples feelings 5) Be tolerant of the staff - likely they are asking because another patron has raised a concern and they are caught in the middle of a difficult situation dealing with adults that are likely older than them.

Picnics Who doesn’t love a picnic? Food, family, friends, games and a beautiful setting? People of southern Alberta have enjoyed picnics for generations.

Here are a few random picnic memories.

Joseph Baceda, Fabiro Bridarolli and an unidentified woman provided accordion music for the Italian Club Picnic of 1949.

In 1891 the citizens of Lethbridge picnicked at the Stafford Ranch to commemorate the incorporation of Lethbridge as a town.

A foot race at the Co-op Picnic at the Experimental Station (Research Centre) in June 1954.

The Hironakas enjoyed a quiet family picnic in the early 1930s.

arts in lethbridge arts feature Southern Accord Chorus A Cappella Harmony A cappella harmony is a joy to hear and exciting to sing. Voices make all the music and there is a special sound you hear when the chords lock and ring. Traditionally, the focus is on the harmony but you will see variations where voices emulate instruments such as on the TV show The Sing Off or in the Pitch Perfect movies.

Southern Accord Chorus Southern Accord is a dynamic group of women who sing 4 part a cappella harmony. The chorus and smaller ensemble and quartets perform at functions and events throughout the year. Members range in age from 17 to 70 and come from across Southern Alberta to share the experience and practice to perform their music. The chorus continuously strives to improve their craft- to be pitch perfect too!

Sweet Adelines International Southern Accord is a proud member of Sweet Adelines International. Sweet Adelines is a highly respected worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing their musical art form.

Members extend over five continents and belong to more than 500 choruses and 1,200 quartets.

Pollinators Did you know?

Ken Moore

·

Many wasps, ants, flies, beetles and even the male Mosquito all play an important role in pollinating plants.

·

Birds, like a hummingbird and bats are also pollinators

·

Planting a variety of plants will attract many different pollinators to your backyard or planter garden.

·

Avoid or limit the use of pesticides in your yard and garden

Pollinators are hard-working animals that help pollinate over · Leave some debris in your 75% of our flowering plants , and nearly 75% of our crops. We often yard for pollinators to nest, do not notice these critters as they go about their work. Yet without raise their young, and over them, wildlife would have fewer nutritious berries and seeds, and we winter would miss many fruits, vegetables, and nuts, like blueberries. Squash, and almonds… not to mention chocolate and coffee… all of which depend on pollinators.

Here are several ways to make your garden a haven for pollinators: 1– use pollinator friendly plants in your landscapes. 2– choose a mixture of plants for spring, summer, and fall. 3– reduce or eliminate pesticide use in your landscape, or incorporate plants that attract beneficial insects for pest control. 4– accept some plant damage on plants to provide habitat for pollinators. 5– provide clean water in a shallow dish with some debris to rest on. www.nrcs.usda.gov & www.fws.gov

Contact us to find out our summer field trip schedule

Did You Know?

The main threats facing pollinators are habitat loss.

Degradation and fragmentation. As native vegetation is replaced by roadways, manicured lawns, crops and non-native gardens, pollinators lose the food and nesting sites that are necessary for their survival.

Lethbridge College’s Be Fit For Life Active Living Guide Active Transportation for the School Year Life has become a lot easier with all the technological advancements over the years. We are able to get from place to place much faster, food is ready quicker, giving us the ability to cram more chores into our day. However, it’s not all good news. Although these advancements may seem helpful, they are actually a major contributor to the physical inactivity epidemic we are faced with today. We have mechanized activity out of our daily lives, and it’s time to get it back.

One such way of adding more physical activity to our daily lives is through active transportation.

Active transportation refers to any form of human-powered transportation – walking, cycling, using a wheelchair, and in-line skating or skateboarding. There are many ways to engage in active transportation, whether it is walking to the bus stop, or cycling to school/work.

Another consideration when it comes to your children’s physical activity, is to encourage your children to engage in regular physical activity while at school. It is impossible to be with them every step of the way. Here are some things that Playworks has suggested when to considering your children’s physical activity level at school: -

With the school year quickly approaching, and the weather still on your side, it is a worthwhile endeavour to attempt some of these active transport ideas with you and your family during the first few weeks of school. Try it out, you might just find something that works for you!

-

Do all kids feel included? Kids sit out because they don’t feel welcomed.

Encourage your child to take on a leadership role by inviting those around them to join a game.

Does your child’s school withhold recess as punishment? Recess is a crucial part of the school day and shouldn’t be taken away to punish any child.

More than Meets the Skies!

11 Royal Canadian

What is 11 RCACS and the Royal Canadian Air Cadets?

The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is a national youth organization for teens aged 12 to 18, sponsored by the Air Cadet League (a civilian organization) and the Department of National Defence. The organization is made up many training centres, headquarters, and most importantly, the squadrons, of which every cadet is a part of. 11 RCACS is one of the 450 Air Cadet squadrons across Canada, located in Lethbridge, Alberta.

Air Cadets in 11 RCACS meet at least once a week onTuesdays from 6:45 to 9:30 pm atVimy Ridge Armouries.While there, they undergo the standard classes that are part of the Air Cadet program.That is, aviation studies, citizenship, leadership, effective speaking, outdoor survival, drill, sports and many more.

The training onTuesday nights is only the core of the program, the standard classes that all squadrons teach. It is the training and the teams on the squadron level, on weekends and other weeknights, that really make up all the opportunities in the program, and these are explained in further detail below, and throughout this website.

What are some of the extra activities that 11 RCACS does?

First of all, the squadron has many year-long teams, drill teams, a marksmanship (shooting) team, and a flag party.We also have sports teams, ground school classes (prerequisite for glider/private pilot licenses), and much more. Just take a look around the website for a better idea.

Who can join Air Cadets?

Any Canadian citizen or landed Immigrant in good health can join as early as 12 years of age, and can remain until they turn 19, the age at which they must retire.

How much is it going to cost me?

Air Cadets is sponsored by a civilian agency and the squadron raises its own money during the year with various fundraising events.The Canadian Forces provides uniforms, training facilities and instructors, and thus, Air Cadets is FREE.There are some small fees for some trips, but these costs are kept minimal,

and can be worked around if a monetary need exists.

Cadets will not be excluded from trips if they can't afford it.

Who teaches Air Cadets?

Air Cadet instructors are often past cadets themselves.They are members of the community and hold civilian occupations in areas such as business owners, police officers, medical persons, and school employees. Higher ranking air cadets are also instructors, as well as members of local military units.

Are there summer camps?

Summer courses are a very big part of Air Cadets, and are run every year in July and August.There are many different courses ranging from 2 to 7 weeks.

Cadets are not required to attend the courses, but it is highly recommended.You can take everything from basic cadet courses to advanced technical training, and from leadership courses to aerospace studies and make great friends from all over Canada in the process! As with the rest of Air Cadets, summer courses are free, and each cadet is actually paid a training allowance of $60 per week. Eventually an experienced cadet can apply for staff positions for summer courses, and get pay equivalent to a full-time summer job.

Can I get my pilot's license?

Yes! Air Cadets offers twoTransport Canada Pilot licenses,The Glider Pilot License (GPL) and the Private Pilot License (PPL). Scholarships are offered to air cadets in order for them to get their pilot licenses at various airfields and flying clubs around the province.

The licenses are free through Air Cadets (the GPL normally costs $2000, while PPL normally costs around $8000), cadets just have to pay with their dedication and hard work in the squadron.

During the year, cadets with a glider license can fly

www.lethbridgeaircadets.com 403-327-7083 • Email: 11air@cadets.gc.ca

at various cadet gliding centres around the province during weekends, and scholarships are offered to pay for continued flying when some cadets retire. In fact, over 60 percent of Canada's airline pilots got their start in air Cadets.

Do I have to join the military?

Air Cadets are not members of the Canadian Forces, nor will they ever be asked to join. If you choose to join though, you will have a great advantage over other applicants (most high-ranking officers in the Canadian forces started off in the cadet program). However, you will never be required to serve with the military.

Do we travel?

Every year, we travel within Alberta regularly. Each summer, cadets from across Canada have the opportunity to enter in the exchange program to locations all over the world!

Where is 11 RCACS located?

The squadron operates onTuesday nights at the Vimy Ridge Armoury 337 Stubb Ross Road Lethbridge County Airport.

How do I join?

It's easy to join. All you need to do is come out to Lethbridge Airport on aTuesday evening (preferably between 6:30 and 7:30). If you'd like, you can follow a group of cadets around during their training and your parents are welcome to attend to watch and ask questions.

If you decide to join, you will need to fill out and hand in an application, along with a photocopy of your Alberta health card.You will also need to show proof of Canadian citizenship or Landed Immigrant status, and may need to show other documents to prove your age (such as a birth or baptismal certificate).
