Town of Aurora

|

Earlier this year, the Town of Aurora achieved a “Silver” Youth Friendly Community designation, joining an elite list of municipalities committed to serving its young people, aged 13-19. The Youth Friendly Recognition Program acknowledged the outstanding work that our community has done to ensure our youth have continuous access to a diversity of ‘play’. The Town was able to submit a successful application thanks to the support of our local, youth-serving organizations.

We also completed our first “Play Day” in partnership with Sport Aurora. PLAY is an acronym for “Physical Literacy for Aurora Youth”. Aurora is one of 199 organizations from across the country to receive a 2015, RBC Learn-to-Play Project Grant. The Town worked with Sport Aurora to execute this project in May 2016. The event introduced the concept of physical literacy for Grades 1-3 students from Rick Hansen Public School. The students performed a number of physical skills such as kicking a ball, hopping, throwing and catching. The students were evaluated on their proficiency level and played a game with their new skills.

Other exciting news to report is that we have improved our e-PLAY online registration system. The new e-PLAY website will be launched in August with many new features and improvements making access to Parks and Recreation programs easier. This new service will require you to create a new account at www.aurora.ca/ePLAY. We continue our efforts to make Aurora “Canada’s Most Active Community” by 2020.

Get out and get active!

SPORT FOR LIFE & PHYSICAL LITERACY

Laying the foundation for an active life! Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) Aurora is a local initiative that seeks to improve the quality of sport and physical activity in Aurora by increasing opportunities for sport and recreation participation. Aurora will be implementing physical literacy in sport and recreation activity which is the foundation for lifelong participation, and strengthening the community sport and recreation sector by building capacity.

Active Start (ages 0 - 6) Children need to be introduced to unstructured active play that incorporates a variety of body movement. Children this age experience a large variety of basic movement - like running, jumping and throwing. Look for these Active Start programs: Red Cross Preschool Swimming Lessons, page 24 On the Move - Gym Time, page 34 Jumping Jellybeans - Playtime, page 34 Puck Power, page 34 Playball - Two Can Do, page 35

FUNdamentals (ages 6 - 9) Activities during this stage should be well structured, positive and FUN, and should concentrate on developing the ABCs Agility, Balance, Coordination and Speed. It is important that children take part in a wide range of sports. Try these programs: Red Cross Swim Kids, page 25 Busy Bodies, page 39 Basketball Basics, page 39 Youth Running Program, page 39

DEVELOPING PHYSICAL LITERACY Just as learning the alphabet is necessary to read, the development of basic movement skills and sport skills is critical to help children feel confident participating in physical activity. The most important step toward developing physical literacy is mastering fundamental movement skills (FMS).

Physical Literacy = Competent and Confident Physical Literacy = Active for Life

Learn to Train (ages 9 - 12) Children in the Learn to Train stage are ready to begin structured physical activity and sport activities. However, the emphasis should still be on general sports skills suitable to a number of activities. Try these Learn to Train programs: Red Cross Swim Kids, page 25 Friday Night Sports, page 40 Martial Arts, page 39 Dance - Hip Hop Sensations, page 40

Look for this symbol for activities that promote physical literacy.

AQUATICS INFORMATION

What to Expect from Swimming Lessons

Support your child’s learning through participation in the recreational swimming programs. Set realistic goals for your child, encouraging them to do their best. Learning to swim can be enjoyable, but like many skills, it takes time, practise and patience.

It is important to remember that each swimmer advances at his/her own pace. Not completing a level the first time, or even the second time, simply means there are important skills to continue to improve upon. Success in swimming lessons comes in many different forms learning new skills, increasing confidence, and gaining a feeling of accomplishment.

What Level Should I Register In?

Visit our pool and one of the Aquatic Staff can assist you in determining what level to register in. The Department of Parks and Recreation offers free swimming lesson assessments. Please contact the Deck Supervisor on duty to request a screening during scheduled leisure swim times.

Repeating a level?

Show your last report card to the Instructor to allow practise time on skills requiring development. To progress to the next level, all items must be completed.

Lesson Start Time

Participants should go to the pool deck at the lesson start time (not earlier). You may wish to escort your child to their lesson on the first day to meet the Instructor. Please remove outdoor shoes in the shower area and pool deck.

Deck Supervisor

Make-up Lessons

Occasionally lessons may be cancelled due to pool fouling, mechanical, or chemical problems. Makeup classes due to participant’s illness or personal commitments will not be available. Dry-land water safety lessons are part of all learn-to­ swim programs. Where a pool may close in an untimely manner, Instructors will use the time to focus on dry land water safety. If this is not possible, a credit may be issued for the missed class.

Pool Fouling/Closure

To reduce the number of closures due to pool fouling, participants not toilet trained are required to wear snug fitting plastic pants. No disposable diapers. Also, please keep eating to a minimum prior to swimming. Swim diapers are available at the Customer Service Desk.

Change Room Admittance Guideline

For the comfort of all patrons, children 7 years of age and older must use the appropriate change room of their own gender. If this is not suitable a family change room is available.

Personal Belongings

Do not leave valuables and belongings unattended in change rooms or cubicles. Use lockers or take belongings to your program area.

The Town of Aurora is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Cell Phones, Filming and Photography

Please note that to ensure the privacy of others, the use of cell phone devices, filming or photography will not be permitted in the change rooms, viewing gallery or pool area during swimming programs or recreational swims.

There is a designated Deck Supervisor on deck and available to answer your questions or concerns. They also provide a link between you and the instructor. Ask and the Deck Supervisor will be happy to assist you.

Stroller

Parent’s Day

Family Change Room

Parent’s Day will take place during the 5th lesson. Parents are invited on deck to watch their child’s swimming lesson and take pictures. Classes will end 5 min. early to give parents the opportunity to talk to their child’s instructor about their progress. If you wish to visit on deck, please remember to remove your shoes! Please note that picture taking is only permitted on Parent’s Day

PARKS & TRAILS PEDESTRIAN TRAIL SYSTEM The Town of Aurora is fortunate to have an extensive pedestrian trail system which connects many of its neighbourhood parks, Town Facilities and open space corridors. At present the Town maintains approximately 57 kilometers of trails.

Come out and enjoy a leisurely hike through the natural valley land setting of mixed forests, meadows and wetland habitats of the Holland River Valley Trail, designated in 2000 as part of the regional Nokiidaa Trail. This trail is Aurora’s longest trail corridor stretching from Vandorf in the south (just west of Bayview Avenue) all the way up to St. John’s Sideroad at Industrial Parkway North. The trail corridor links municipal facilities such as the Town Hall, the Senior’s Centre and the Aurora Leisure Complex as well as the Aurora Community Arborteum, Sheppards Bush and Lambert Willson Park.

Another significant trail corridor is the Willow Farm, Lakeview Trail system, a trail linking parks and linear open space corridors within the forested hills of St. Andrews in northwest Aurora. The topography is very undulating as the trail rises up to one of the highest points elevation within Aurora.

All Aurora trails are considered multi-use, with the primary focus being pedestrian hikers. Opportunities also exist for cross country skiers. The majority of our trails are compact gravel surfaces with some asphalt sections through neighbourhood and community parks. Please note that our trails are not groomed or maintained during winter months, and conditions vary widely. Surface conditions can change dramatically during the winter to create potentially hazardous hiking and skiing conditions. All users are advised to respect other trail users, to stay on designated trails and to exercise caution at all times.

COMMUNITY PARKS & SPORTS FACILITIES The town currently has over 75 parks & open space areas with 35 playgrounds and over 700 acres of woodlots. Please come out and enjoy playgrounds, water splash pads, sports fields, skateboarding and a wide variety of other recreational activities in Aurora’s parkettes, neighbourhood and community parks.

For further information please visit the Town’s website at www.aurora.ca/thingstodo MEMORIAL TREE & PARK BENCH DEDICATION PROGRAM Would you like to establish “Lasting Roots” in your community? Are you looking for a unique gift idea for that special person or occasion?

Perhaps you feel like making an investment in greening your community? If so, we encourage you to contact the Parks Division to find out more about the memorial tree planting and park bench

dedication program. Please call 905-727-3123 ext. 3233 or email cwright@aurora.ca.

EMERALD ASH BORER The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive insect that kills all types of healthy ash trees. The insect was discovered in Aurora in 2011. While the Emerald Ash Borer poses no risk to human health, it is a significant threat to our forests.

The Town has contracted with Trugreen to provide treatment services to combat the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB).

The contract will provide for the preventative application of TreeAzin, a pesticide approved in Canada that has shown to protect ash trees from the EAB. Approximately 2,000 publicly-owned trees along boulevards and rights-of-way have been identified in the Town’s street tree inventory as potential candidates for treatment. Trees meeting the treatment criteria will be marked by Town staff with a small but highlyvisible painted dot.

Also, through the terms of the contract. residents, who wish to protect ash trees on their private property will have the option to contract with Trugreen for the same price as the Town.
