Spring & Summer Guide 1

Mayor’s Message There’s a whole lot going on in North Perth! That’s a tribute to the hard work of a small but strong staff team and dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers who make it happen!

To keep on top of it all, it is my pleasure to introduce you to the 2025 Spring and Summer Guide, published by the Municipality of North Perth. This Guide focuses, first and foremost, on the many recreational programs and activities that happen here. It also informs you about the work of your municipal government, with an explanation about our departments and services and how to connect with them. Hold on to this document for the next year – it is a great overview of a lot of awesome going on in North Perth.

Hours of Operation 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Our child care and school-age programs are developed on an inclusion emergent curriculum philosophy. We believe children learn to the fullest of their potential when they are engaged in play that is meaningful to them. When we, the educators, take the lead from the child, we become co-learners with the child and the opportunities are endless.

The Municipality of North Perth enrolled in the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) System between the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada. For more details, please refer to our Parent Handbook located on our website.

Pool Admission Standards *Lifeguards reserve the right to request a swim test regardless of age and revoke a swim test pass at any time if they feel it is unsafe or may assist in injury prevention.

Admission Standards for Public Pools were developed by the Office of the Chief Coroner to assist lifeguards and assistant lifeguards in maintaining adequate surveillance over the whereabouts and the activities of young bathers while they are inside the pool enclosure. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care strongly supports these recommendations to prevent injuries and fatalities.

Children under the age of 10 who are swimmers (able to demonstrate comfort in the water and pass the facility swim test) May be admitted to the pool unaccompanied. *It is highly recommended that a guardian be present at the pool Children under the age of 10 (6 to 9 years) who are non-swimmers Must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 12 years of age and is responsible for their direct supervision (within arms reach) Children under the age of 6 May not be admitted to the pool unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 12 years of age and is responsible for their direct supervision (within arms reach), with a maximum of two (2) children per parent or guardian.

Non-swimmers unable to pass the facility swim test, between 6 and 9 years of age The parent/guardian ratio may be increased to a maximum of eight bathers to one parent/guardian (8:1) if lifejackets are worn by all non-swimmers in their charge.

Guardians or group leaders: must be a swimmer at least 12 years of age, be responsible for the children in their care while in the facility and must provide direct supervision (within arms reach) at all times.
