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).

ABOUT THE POOLS FAQ’s - Weight Room Guidelines What are the guidelines for using the Weight Room?

1) Proper gym attire is required - shorts / sweats & shirts at all times (no bathing suits or jeans). Must be dry (can’t come in from pool) - for safety reasons and etiquette 2) Outdoor footwear is prohibited - must have indoor closed toe/heel footwear (no sandals or flip flops) - for safety reasons, prolongs the life of the equipment and helps to keep the area clean 3) Please allow others to “work in” for use of the equipment - due to limited space there is limited equipment so please be courteous and allow others to utilize the equipment 4) Please wipe down equipment when done - keeps equipment sanitary and clean 5) Please put equipment away when done - for safety reasons (trip hazards etc) 6) Children 14 - 15yrs. must be accompanied by a supervising adult - supervision is crucial for safety especially for those with little or no experience 7) Children 13yrs. and under are not allowed in the Weight Room

Prisoner of War Camp #133, Second World War In November 1942, 75 years ago, Prisoner of War Camp #133 opened in North Lethbridge.

Designed for 12,500 prisoners, the camp was required to hold over 13,000 soldiers when the opening of the Medicine Hat camp was delayed by fire. This made the Lethbridge camp the largest prisoner of war camp in Canada.

The camp operated until 1946, when the prisoners were returned to Germany after the end of the war. Throughout the war, the camp was guarded by members of the Veterans Guard.

The camp was a city onto itself, running a mile north from 5 Avenue North and a mile east from 28 Street North.

Approximately 1000 of the prisoners volunteered to work on farms, lumber camps and other operations across the area throughout the war.

Get Out and Embrace Winter As winter weather starts to approach, we tend to start limiting our time outdoors. We tend to have a negative attitude towards the colder weather and an increased fear about safety during the winter. These fears are a major barrier that prevent children from gaining exposure to all the benefits that winter has to offer.

The colder weather has some incredible benefits for not only our health and well-being, but also for our children’s as well. Here are a couple of the many benefits to embracing the winter months: 1. Get to see the outdoors with a different perspective and spark creativity – fallen leaves, brown grass, hoarfrost, and snow.

2. Increases in exercise and using different muscles – sledding, trudging through snow and balancing on ice.

3. Getting fresh air and avoiding bacteria.

4. New challenges and problem-solving.

5. Vitamin D exposure – help regulate mental and emotional moods.

For more information call 403-382-6919 or go to lethbridgecollege.ca/befitforlife
