Today’s children and families often have limited opportunities to connect with nature, a phenomenon Richard Louv calls the ”naturedeficit disorder”. We all need a regular dose of “Vitamin G” – green environments; a key ingredient to a healthy life. Direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional health of children and adults. “People with less access to green space report more medical symptoms and poorer health overall” according to researcher, Frances Ming Kuo. Step outside your front door, pause and look around… discover the beautiful natural playground that surrounds us. Kamloops has exceptional parks, which provide us with an abundance of opportunities for Vitamin G. Be creative and enjoy spontaneous play with your family.

Go on a treasure hunt through Kenna Cartright or Peterson Creek Park. How many items can you find from our natural environment?

Create an obstacle course at your neighborhood playground or tot lot, or just enjoy reading a book or playing “I spy”.

Be kind to our community Please recycle this guide!

Help us to prevent pool closures by: • Putting your child in a properly fitted swim diaper if he or she is not toilet trained; • Checking diapers frequently and taking bathroom breaks; and • Not swimming if suffering from diarrhea.

Swim diapers are available at the front desk.

Thank you for your co-operation!

Early Years FACE TIME REDEFINED

Singing songs, telling stories, playing games is real face time with children. Children learn about the world and their place in it through their conversations, play activities, and routines with parents and families. Disconnect to reconnect by putting away the laptop and cell phone, turn off the TV and engage with your child and explore our community. Kamloops has some amazing parks and venues designed for children. Unplug, get outside and enjoy this special time with your little one.

Did you know?

Talking and listening to your child at their level is one of the simplest, yet most effective ways to create an environment that nurtures and strengthens their speech and language development.

Discover Mother Nature

Autumn is the absolute best time to get out and discover nature!

Beautiful fall colours, warm days and cool nights.

Kamloops is an amazing city to explore -- you can step outside your front door and find nature.

It might be in the grass growing through the pavement cracks, the ants than run across the paving slabs or the moss growing on the dark side of a wall. Take a moment to slow down for a minute and spend even just 20 minutes out on a nature walk with your child.

Here are a few tips for getting the most out of a nature walk with your little one: 1. Stay close to home or wherever you have parked the car – This way if your little one gets tired you aren’t too far away from familiar comforts.

2. Let them lead – Children learn through discovery.

Allow them to explore their own interests at their pace.

3. G et excited – They will be too.

4. Walk whatever the weather – Your child will love experiencing the change in weather. Rain presents puddles, wind makes the world dance and snow and ice creates a slippery and fun surface.

5. T ake a container such as a basket or carrier bag Allow your little one to collect treasures along the way.

6. Go with someone else – Socializing with others is always fun.

7. Explore using all of your senses – Take time for your little one smells, feels, sees and listens. Wherever possible let them taste too.

Children

When you watch a child in nature, you can see their curiosity and wonder for their natural world around them. Getting outside is important to explore and discover that we are all a part of the environment and to start fostering a relationship with nature.

Studies have shown that spending time in nature helps with recall and memory, problem solving and creativity.

Amelia

It is vitally important that our environment that we are discovering is healthy, especially since we all rely on the natural environment to provide us with fresh air to breath, water to drink and food to eat. If our environment is unhealthy, this can make us unhealthy.

Did you Know?

Almost 50% of children aged 8-16 years watch 3-5 hours of television a day. These kids who watch the most hours of television have the highest incidence of obesity. (Word on Health)

24

Art has a special place for Amelia, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her time to be creative, it is relaxing, fun and easy can be done anywhere. She enjoys taking her time to complete an art project such as sketching, painting and sculpting.

The thing she loves about the fall is how colourful the leaves are, cool breezes, bugs and Halloween.

Besides her passion for art Amelia likes to go hunting for snails!

Raising Healthy Children

Physical literacy is learning the skills and having the confidence to enjoy many physical activities. Just as learning the alphabet is needed to read, the development of fundamental movement and sport skills help children to feel good about physical activity. The ABC’s – agility, balance, coordination are the skills that support physical literacy. The basic environments where children should learn fundamental movement skills are on the ground, in the water, on the snow and ice and in the air.

ACTIVE LIVING

New Busy Body, $64 Busy Brain Ages: 6-12 Through creative, theme-based activities, children will learn about their environment and how to respect it. Make new friends while participating in physical activities that stimulate the brain, contribute to physical literacy, and improve concentration.

Youth

Studies have shown that spending time in nature helps with recall and memory, problem solving, and creativity. Those who spend more time outside are also physically healthier. (David Suzuki Foundation).

Some tips to re-connect your teen with nature: • Declare a one hour a week as family green hour for outdoor activities • Encourage outdoor activity such as playing a sport or going for walk/hike • Make one meal a week together using only organic food or from a local farmers market • Once a month plan a special outdoor adventure beyond your usual activities • Geo-cashing which involves linking technology to nature • Have dinner out on your patio if the weather is nice

Did you Know?

Texting while walking puts you in danger as a pedestrian crossing the road, as you are not alert and aware of your surroundings. You may walk into something, trip, or step out into traffic and get hit by a vehicle.

The fine for pedestrians disobeying traffic or pedestrian signals, and for drivers failing to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, is $167. The fine for jaywalking is $100.

Adult ENERGIZE YOUR SOUL by connecting with nature!

We are always looking for ways to boost our mood, sleep better and control our stress. Did you know that the simple act of getting outside can help you achieve all of these benefits?

Research has shown that even 5 minutes outside can provide a boost to your mental health. Spending time in a park or your own back yard can help to reconnect and ground you with the daily demands of your life and provide much needed stress relief. Furthermore, spending time in natural daylight can help your body regulate hormones and the body’s internal clock resulting in a better night sleep.

So the next time your need a boost, head outside! Soak up the beautiful natural environment to feel energized and grounded. Looking to discover a new park? Check out our Kamloops Parks Map on page 34-35.

Marion Wyse

I met with Rhonda Eden, a trainer at TCC not willingly, but at the insistence of my boss. I had the added motivation of needing to keep up with large dog Sam, who had experienced a serious injury and had to be walked daily. Working with Rhonda has allowed me to shift my thinking to a healthy lifestyle; thinking about proper diet, quitting smoking and adopting a more positive thought process and attitude towards exercise. 7 months later I am now meeting with Rhonda twice a week. Although I can’t say yet I look forward to those days at the track, at least I know I’ll feel a whole lot better when I leave!

ActiveAging Fall means comfy sweaters, changing leaves, baked goods, and foods that feature apples, spice and pumpkins However, this season can be frustrating, as the inconsistent temperatures can make it more difficult to stay outside for long periods of time. Despite the falling temperatures, here are some tips for continuing outdoor exercise:

Slow it down Older adults who enjoy cycling or jogging will find that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typically harder to participate in these activities when the weather is chilly.

Instead, try some low-impact exercises that will be less stressful on your heart and lungs.

Pick your time of day Kamloops sees a wide range of temperatures throughout the day.

Knowing that the mornings can be very cool and the afternoons can be hot, schedule your outdoor exercise for your comfort.

Make it social If you enjoy working out primarily because the scenery makes it easy to keep your mind occupied, then you may want to find a way to make your workout routine social.

Keep fit & have fun!

Strategic Health Alliance PROGRAM PARTICIPANT EXPERIENCE

In November of 2013, we were introduced to the Strategic Health Alliance exercise programming at the Tournament Capital Centre. The programs offered for clinical condition rehabilitation are amazing! The professional and volunteer staff were caring, understanding, patient, positive and knowledgeable.

Information sessions are presented to help participants understand specific medical conditions and concerns.

The team provides a fantastic sense of support and encouragement to all participating.

Anyone experiencing events in their lives who are offered participation in Strategic Health Alliance programming are most wise to do so.

The benefits are life enhancing!

Private instruction for voice, piano/keyboard available

MUSIC

JUNIOR

Age 3&4 Students and caregivers learn music fundamentals in an interactive and positive way. Using keyboards, rhythm instruments, movement, singing and creative play, students learn the basics of rhythm, pitch and voice control, self and emotional awareness and of course, keyboard basics.

Ages 4-6, 6-8 This program motivates children in a group setting to learn the three essential elements of pitch, harmony and rhythm in a dynamic, creative and social atmosphere.

Each class works on the musical concepts of rhythm, pitch sense and vocal control, musicality, creativity, composition, ensemble playing, finger and hand control, harmony, note recognition and reading. As children progress they move into private lessons addressing their individual needs.
