Fall 2016 LEISURE GUIDE

Mayor’s Update

I hope everyone had a fantastic summer and that you were able to enjoy some of the great events and activities that took place in our community, such as the PoCo Grand Prix, BIA Car Show and our ‘Summer in the City’ line-up.

As the summer season draws to an end and our autumn season begins, I am pleased to share some of the highlights on things that are happening for the rest of the year.

On behalf of City Council and staff, we hope to see you at our upcoming signature events, including the Terry Fox Hometown Run on September 18th and the Rivers & Trails Festival on September 25th.

Don’t forget to visit the Farmers Market in Leigh Square on Thursdays from 3 to 7 pm until September 29th for all your fresh produce and local products.

This season, our Recreation team has done another fabulous job of offering a variety of programs to keep you active, engaged and entertained as we get ready for the upcoming holiday season.

Council and staff are continuing to move forward on a number of key projects including redevelopment of Blakeburn Lagoons Park, completing the Nicola Avenue Connection, upgrades to Pitt River Road and McLean Avenue, updating the City’s website and planning for our new Community Recreation Complex, to meet the future demands in our community.

We encourage you to stay informed on these and many other exciting initiatives taking place in your community by visiting the City’s website at www.portcoquitlam.ca and staying connected through our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Sincerely,

Greg Moore

Fall 2016 ACCESSIBLE RECREATION FOR ALL The City of Port Coquitlam makes every effort to make our programs accessible and inclusive for the whole community. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants and staff, we ask everyone to read the following information.

WE ASK EVERYONE TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION Leisure Buddy Participants require additional support for a variety of reasons. Examples include however are not limited to: Autism, ADHD, FASD, physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, mental health issues, behavioural issues, and language barriers.

• Participants complete a LEISURE BUDDY REQUEST form – available at all recreation facility front desks.

• Access Services requires 2 weeks notice to find an appropriate volunteer.

It is important to remember our program leaders are responsible for the entire group and are not able to focus extended periods of time on any one participant. Also it is important to remember that what may be routine for you and your family is not routine for our leaders.

• Participants are matched with a Leisure Buddy on a first come first served basis.

Therefore it is important to consider the following when choosing a program for a participant:

• Support is not guaranteed. If appropriate support cannot be found, the participant will be withdrawn or transferred to a more appropriate program.

• Our Children Services day camps are fast paced, active programs with many transitions and can be very noisy at times.

• All of our recreation day camps consist of a high percentage of active games, walks and often endure all types of weather when out in the community and can often be in busy public settings.

• If you are unsure if a program is the right fit, please contact the Program Supervisor to find out more.

• To assist participants who require additional support we offer our LEISURE BUDDY PROGRAM. Our Buddies are trained volunteers who trained to help participants stay on task, be involved, make positive social connections and build strong community ties.

• Our Leisure Buddies do not provide any personal care including changing, toileting, feeding or administering medications.

LEISURE BUDDY program:

• During Summer, Winter and Spring Break programs fill quickly, participants are eligible for 2 weeks of support based on availability and resources.

Registration Note for Parents

Please be advised that it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to register children in the correct level of our swim program. Instructors assess all students on the first day of lessons to ensure that they have been placed correctly.

In the event that a child has not been placed correctly, s(he) may be permitted to transfer to an alternate level, based on program availability, at the discretion of the aquatic staff. If no spots are available in an appropriate level, the child may be withdrawn from the program at the discretion of the aquatic staff for safety reasons.

What you should know about Swim Lesson Registration: Not sure which level to register in?

If you’re unsure what level your child should be registered in or it has been over a year since their last session, drop by for a FREE evaluation. One of our qualified instructors will assess your child and recommend the appropriate Red Cross level for enrollment.

Not Progressing?

If your child has been in the same Red Cross level for 3 lesson sets, within a 6 month period, and has not progressed to the next level, we will provide the child with one private lesson. Alternatively, you may choose to retake the level for the fourth time at 50% the regular cost of the program. We also offer other programs that may be more suited to the needs of the child, including Performance Enhancers, Front Crawl Workshop and Whip Kick Workshop.

Adapted Aquatic Opportunities TIDAL WAVE AQUATICS

HYDROTHERAPY CLASSES

Port Coquitlam Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic offers advanced physiotherapy for the whole family from chronic pain and post-surgery to sports, auto and work-related injuries. A unique service offered is their hydrotherapy classes held Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:55am to 11:55am at Hyde Creek.

For more information, contact 604.945.6644 or visit portcoquitlamphysio.com

Tidal Wave Aquatics is an exciting and unique program offered by Kidsfirst Physio. While the positive impact of physical exercise in the buoyancy and resistance of water is well documented, we have added an extra plus to our program. Under the personal supervision of Brenda Horton, B.S.R. P.T. (reg), MCPA, carefully trained youth assistants who work directly with the children in the water offer one-on-one ratio of assistance to each child. Each specifically prescribed pool therapy program is developed and maintained by Brenda, yet presented with the unsurpassable enthusiasm and energy of the youth.

The benefits of this combination to those involved in our pool program are unmistakable. The unique socialization atmosphere provided develops a bond that makes the “therapy” even more fun, appealing, and valuable to the children.

Participants must undergo a physical assessment to determine need and appropriate physiotherapy plan prior to approval for the program.

For more information about Tidal Wave Aquatics or to book an initial assessment visit, contact Kidsfirst Physio at 604-463-7537 or email to info@kidsfirstphysio.ca.

Full Body Stretch is a great practice for anyone who is ‘stiff’ looking to improve flexibility, anyone looking to stretch their muscles back out and anyone looking to begin exploring meditation. In this class floor poses are held for extended periods of time with the muscles relaxed to allow gravity time to work on the muscles, connective tissue, joints, and even the bones.

This practice can actually be therapeutic for certain kinds of joint-pain as the long gentle holds can allow the joints to be worked in a safe and therapeutic manner that is simply impossible in a more active class. Because of the nature of the long holds it is a great time for inner-reflection and meditation as well as developing a deeper awareness of both the body and the breath.

Yoga - Strength & Core Conditioning (19+ yrs)

Strengthening the 29 muscles of your core -- comprised of your stomach, back, hips and pelvis -- improves all functional movement, increases balance and stability, recovers posture and reduces the risk of falling. Without a strong core, other muscles pick up the slack to accomplish everyday movements, which contributes to injuries and reduces overall functionality. Change your body by improving your posture, building core strength and producing long and lean muscles. You’ll stand straighter, feel stronger and become more flexible. Students with a high level of physical fitness welcome.

Artist: Dawn Livera Oct 1 – Dec 3 Wed & Thu 9:30am-3:30pm Leigh Square brings the year to a close with opening our doors to the fibre arts artist Dawn Livera. Dawn is a visual artist primarily working in textile and fibre arts, with a focus on “freestyle weaving”. Her work is about free artistic self-expression and bold explorations in colour and texture – unbound by the conventional rules. Starting with the belief that “there are no mistakes” she works intuitively, making decisions as the work evolves – always open to exploring the possibilities of “what would happen if....” The results are unconventional, exciting and dynamic.

During her time at Leigh Square she will engage the community in handwoven banners on the theme of “The Gifts of Community”!

SepTEMBER 1 – 26 Donna Polos Opening Reception: Thu, Sep 1, 7-9pm

Donna Polos is a self-taught watercolor paint and fibre artist. She has exhibited her work in many solo shows throughout the lower mainland, and her work has also been accepted in several juried shows nationally and internationally. Over the last 25 years she has painted a variety of subjects from still lives, and created numerous fabric pieces; all of which explore imbalances in the world (male/ female, mediocrity, injustices, and poverty). Recently, by focusing on the theme of nature, her work addresses more subtle imbalances in the world and invites the viewer to respect and preserve this worlds remaining beauty.

SepTEMBER 29 - October 31 Brendan O’Leary Opening Reception: Sat, Oct 1 12-3pm

Brendan O’Leary’s digital prints on canvas show the intimate relationship between the heavens and the earth. This exhibition reveals rarely seen photos of the Eagle Festival in Bayan Ulgii in western Mongolia which fosters the preservation of Kazakh traditions and the conservation of the golden eagles. Although these photos are set in Mongolia, the subject matter - Eagles - are transcendent, revered by cultures around the world including North America’s First Nations. The lessons of nature interest Brendan the most. His photographs are most successful when they not only show beauty, but evoke a sense of wonder and mystery.

www.portcoquitlam.ca/recreation

PhotoClub Vancouver is a group of photographers who meet regularly to develop their skills in capturing and editing photographic images. Their exhibition will showcase jury-selected photographs from a range of genres including landscape, portrait, still life, street, abstract and travel. Viewers have an opportunity to reflect on high-quality images that illustrate diverse visions and in some cases push the medium’s boundaries.

Members will present several short talks on photographic topics to engage with the community.

DecEMBER 1- JanUARY 9 Pete Kohut Opening Reception: Thu, Dec 1 7-9pm Figures that are fractured, layered, and distorted are the imagery that make up the oil-on-canvas paintings by Pete Kohut.

These paintings represent a reflection on how we process the high frequency and large quantity of images that we are exposed to each and every day. Kohut attempts to distill the influence of popular images, mainly from fashion magazines and online portfolios, and scenes from everyday life into puzzling and ambiguous paintings which the viewer must solve and digest at their own pace.
