WELCOME TO DOVERCOURT’S FALL 2016 PROGRAMS! Dovercourt Recreation Association (DRA) is a not-for-profit charitable organization with the mission of building a healthy, active and engaged community through recreation. While we are part of the City of Ottawa’s recreation system, DRA is empowered to choose what programs it runs to meet the community’s needs, and how those programs are delivered. Our motto is “a community working for the community, une communauté qui travaille pour la communauté”. Staff, volunteers, clients, local community groups and businesses working together…that’s Dovercourt!

2 DOVERCOURT RECREATION CENTRE FALL 2016 PROGRAM

SWIM LESSONS Why take swimming lessons at Dovercourt? Dovercourt’s highly-skilled instructors are able to teach children proper technique efficiently and effectively, in accordance with the high standards of the Lifesaving Society. Our end-of-session Survival Day is unique to Dovercourt and is a fun yet powerful way to teach children skills that could save their lives in real-life scenarios.

Our staff undergo extensive training and regular updates on safety, rescue situations, changes to current standards, as well as techniques for teaching. Many of our senior aquatics staff are instructor and lifeguard trainers and are a valuable resource for our aquatics team. Our leisure pool is designed to teach swimming, with unique features like warmer water, a beach entry, rope swing and shallow & deep water pods.

We are proud of the quality of our swim lesson program at Dovercourt!

THE SWIM FOR LIFE® PROGRAM

Basic swimming ability is a requirement of any meaningful attempt to eliminate drowning in Canada. Swim for Life® is a comprehensive swim instruction program that focuses on the acquisition and development of fundamental swim strokes and skills for learners of all ages and abilities. Learning Swim to Survive® skills and achieving the Lifesaving Society’s Swim to Survive® Standard are key foundations of the Swim for Life® Program.

DOVERCOURT STORIES We take pride in our people, our clients, volunteers and our staff. After close to 30 years of operations we have some great stories! If you would like to help make room for everyone, please contribute to our building campaign.

Visit www.dovercourt.org/enterprise/donate

This is Barbara. This is Dovercourt.

When Barbara had a stroke in 2007, she wasn’t sure she’d ever walk again. During her rehabilitation program at Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital, her therapist recommended the Post-Stroke Aquafit program at Dovercourt. She took the advice and never looked back.

After two years of aquafit, she started the Rehab Walking program, and her weekly fitness regimen has continued to this day. A strong believer in the “use it or lose it” philosophy, Barbara’s optimism and determination have proven her original concerns wrong – she did walk again!

This is Ian. This is Dovercourt.

Ian always felt a little different from those around him and it wasn’t until he was an adult that he could put a name to that feeling. Ian was diagnosed with high-functioning autism, also known as Asperger Syndrome.

Soon after, he heard about Dovercourt’s WAVE (Work and Volunteer Experience) program. He saw it as an opportunity that might enrich his life skills and employability. And sure enough it did. In 2014, he became a volunteer apprentice. Within a year, he had a paid position wearing two hats – Group Lead and Social Media Coordinator.

This is Mijin and Oscar. This is Dovercourt.

Mijin and her son Oscar have taken full advantage of what Dovercourt has to offer young parents and their babies, including pre- and post-natal aquafit, Mom and Baby Bootcamp, and baby sign language classes.

It the little things that add up to a real sense of community at Dovercourt for Mijin. Like the fact that her aquafit instructor, Anna, who is also a doula would teach moms how to properly swaddle, or that the “grads” of Dovercourt’s pre- and post-natal classes get together for a potluck picnic. And according to Mijin, Kindercorner (childcare while Mom exercises) is “the best thing ever invented.”

This is Shelley Ann. This is Dovercourt.

In 1992, Shelley Ann enquired about joining a group fitness class at Dovercourt. Concerned that her visual impairment might pose challenges, she was delighted when they said “Come on in. We’ll find a way to make it work.”

Ever since, Shelley Ann has been a fixture at Dovercourt. She even sat on the Board of Directors, where she tirelessly advocated for accessibility for all. She is a remarkable woman who has both climbed the CN Tower and competed in 16 triathalons.

This is Will. This is Dovercourt.

Back in the early 1980s, Will was a hyperactive kid who needed a safe outlet. He found it on the hockey rink, tennis court and at the pool at Dovercourt. When he became a teenager, he landed his first real job as a counsellor in Dovercourt’s after-school program.

This role helped cultivate his natural aptitude for leadership and marked the beginning of journey that would take him to where he is today – a Liberal MP on Parliament Hill.

We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the City of Ottawa/ Recipient remercie sincèrement la Ville d’Ottawa de son soutien financier.

Our Commitment to children: As a High Five® accredited organization, Dovercourt is committed to developing and delivering programs that are child-centered and reflect our values of respect, diversity and inclusion. All of our program staff are trained and certified in High Five: Healthy Child Development and our programs are evaluated regularly to ensure a high standard of quality.

MORRIS HOME TEAM ROOM: This will be the feature room of our building expansion, and will be located on the upper level in the space between the end of the pool hall and Dovercourt Avenue. At approximately 2500 square feet, this will be a big bright activity space with southern exposure that we expect to be a busy hub for seniors’ fitness in the daytime and for adults in the evenings. Of course, like every space at Dovercourt, we expect it to be busy all of the time for all ages and abilities. Morris Home Team is one of our oldest friends and best sponsors. Over the years, this local Real Estate family have provided us with a bouncy house, two cargo vans (the Dovercat funmobiles!) sponsorship for our staff uniforms, and more. We are delighted that the centrepiece of our expansion will bear their brand. www.morrishometeam.com
