Recreation & Culture Guide Coordinated by the City of Lethbridge, Recreation & Culture Department Printed in Canada

Welcome to the July 2017 Recreation & Culture Guide A Message from Mayor Chris Spearman On behalf of Lethbridge City Council, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all our citizens a Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. As 2018 commences it brings with it new hopes, goals, and dreams. For those of you who made New Year’s resolutions to embrace a healthier lifestyle, this month’s issue outlining the recreational and leisure activities offered in the City of Lethbridge will support you in your efforts.

The Recreation & Culture Guide provides our citizens with an excellent overview of what is available for every member of the family. Additionally, the Guide is full of other useful information to enhance creativity, fitness, arts, science, and friendships. It’s never too late to start learning something new or pick up an activity that you used to pursue! Most importantly, remember you can multiply your enjoyment when you participate with your family and friends!

Enjoy the winter weather and the numerous recreational facilities and activities that Lethbridge offers. Be sure to see the spectacular Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden Winter Lights Festival now on most evenings from 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm until February 2nd, 2018. Check their website for the schedule.

All the best in the coming year!

Chris Spearman, Mayor City of Lethbridge

Admissions, Visit Cards and Memberships (all prices include GST) New Aquatic Membership Program The City of Lethbridge has recently launched new leisure management software. Through this new electronic system, pass holders will need to use a swipe card called a Fun Pass. The Fun Pass can be used to access a number of City facilities including memberships for most pools and skating rinks.

Along with the launch of the Fun Pass comes more streamlined pool membership options and a new fee structure.

•The recreation pass and the fitness advantage pass options have been combined into one single pass and merged into a new fee structure.

• The Fun Pass will give access to three indoor facilities (Fritz Sick, Nicholas Sheran and Stan Siwik) along with the Henderson outdoor pool in the summer season. Pass holders are able to access all facility programing given they meet the age and program requirements. Please see Program Choices in the Guide for more information.

•A 1 month and 12 month membership option has been added on top of the existing 3 and 6 month options.

•Another price level has been added to separate children and youth. (see rates below).

Happy 60 th to Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge!

The Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge was established on 20 March 1958 with the plan to encourage, coordinate and promote the arts in Lethbridge & area.

The original executive was Dr. Van Christou (president), Ted Godwin (vicepresident), Jessie Baalim (secretary) and David Howell (treasurer).

For the council’s 50th anniversary, the artwork titled Sphere of Social Consensus and Influence was unveiled on 7 Street South near the Council’s office. The piece, created by Carl Granzow, shared the names of the 16 founding organizations.

In 1983, on the 25th anniversary of the council, the City of Lethbridge declared April 10 to 16, 1983, “Allied Arts Council Week”.

It will be exciting to see what the Allied Arts Council has planned for 2018.

TRAIN THE WORKERS YOU NEED WITH THE CANADA ALBERTA JOB GRANT

By supporting and investing in employee training, the Canada-Alberta Job Grant (CAJG) helps you to increase productivity, employee skills, and employee retention. The CAJG can be applied to many training situations, offering employers potential solutions to their workplace challenges. As an employer, you decide who gets training and what type of training may be needed for new and existing employees.

Employers will cover a minimum of one third of direct training costs, while the government covers two-thirds up to a maximum of $10,000 per trainee. If hiring and training an unemployed Albertan, up to 100% of training costs could be covered to a maximum of $15,000 per trainee.

Lethbridge College

ELIGIBILTY AT A GLANCE  Sole proprietors can now train their employees using CAJG  All private sector and non-profit employers in Alberta including sole proprietors  First Nations and Métis Settlements in Alberta  Designated Crown Corporations in communities of 100,000 people or less

Corporate and Continuing Education can assist you with the CAJG application process and provide you with a customized training solution that meets the needs of your organizations vision and goals. Call us today for practical, customized and innovative corporate training solutions.

Winter Walk Day - Feb. 7, 2018 Being active outdoors in the winter is one of the best ways to keep your body and mind healthy. Walking is one of the easiest ways you can do that. We want to encourage people of all ages to embrace winter and share in a group outdoor walk that is healthy and fun!

Don't let the colder temperature and snow scare you off. Everyone is invited to join us for Winter Walk Day on Wednesday, Feb. 7!

Last year more than 800 organizations and 100,000 Albertans took part in Winter Walk Day. It's a great way to enjoy the crisp winter air, meet new people, and enjoy some free hot chocolate and snacks when you're done!

The walk location and time will be announced in the New Year. Join the movement and register your participation as a group or individual at www.winterwalkday.ca.

We'll see you on Feb. 7!

An Algerian man's life-long dream finally comes true when he receives an invitation to take his cow Jacqueline to the Paris International Agriculture Fair.

A little girl lives in a very grown-up world with her mother, who tries to prepare her for it. Her neighbour, the Aviator, introduces the girl to an extraordinary world where anything is possible, the world of the Little Prince.

A teenage Québecer in the 1960s evolves from proindependence activist to radical terrorist in this gripping chronicle of the origins of the FLQ prior to the 1970 October Crisis.

When the sisters who raised him have to leave, Henry has to figure out how to live by himself in the city. He finds a job in a lighting shop and claims to "lighten up people's life".

Inspired by the life and work of celebrated Québécois author, Nelly Arcan, this film portrays a fragmented woman, lost between irreconcilable identities: writer, lover, call-girl and star.

Set in the ghettos of Paris in 2010, an undercover cop and ex-thug try to infiltrate a gang in order to defuse a neutron bomb.
