Winter 2019 LEISURE GUIDE

Season’s Greetings

I am honoured and thrilled to be your new Mayor!

I look forward to serving you for the next four years with my fellow Council Members – Councillors Laura Dupont, Glenn Pollock, Darrell Penner, Steve Darling, Dean Washington and Nancy McCurrach.

I want to thank our outgoing Mayor, Greg Moore and former Councillor, Mike Forrest for their years of hard work and contributions to make our community a better place. Thank you also to everyone who participated in the 2018 election by voting or running for office.

I want to assure you that engagement of our citizens in our community will continue to be a top priority for the City moving forward. I encourage each of you to take time to give your input on decisions being made throughout the year. Your involvement helps us make informed decisions. It’s important we hear what matters to you.

Of course, continue to also have fun in your community by taking part in the many great events and activities we have lined up for this holiday season. My family and I hope to see you at the Winter in the City events, including Christmas in Leigh Square, the Winter Artisan Market and the welcoming of the CP Holiday Train on December 18.

The holiday season is always a busy one, so the programs offered in this season’s leisure guide are a great way for you to take some time for yourself and stay healthy. Visit experienceit.ca to find a program that meets your needs.

My final message is to embrace the spirit of Christmas by giving what you can to help others. Whether you’re able to contribute to a food or toy drive or help a neighbour clear snow from their sidewalk, it is the small things that often make the biggest impacts in our community.

On behalf of City Council and staff, we wish you all the best in the year ahead!

Brad West Mayor

Winter 2019 Our Commitment To Accessible Recreation Opportunities LEISURE BUDDY PROGRAM The purpose of the Leisure Buddy program is to provide support for individuals living with disabilities so they can participate in recreation opportunities offered by the City of Port Coquitlam. This can include, but is not limited to those living with physical, cognitive, behavioral or developmental challenges. The goal of a Leisure Buddy is to provide one-on-one volunteer support to program participants in an effort to create an inclusive recreation environment.

LEISURE BUDDY REQUEST PROCESS: •

If the idea of a Leisure Buddy interests you, please visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/leisurebuddy to fill out an application form. Hard copies of the form are available at the front desk of all recreation facilities.

•

Access Services requires at least two weeks’ notice, prior to the start date of your registered programs, to find an appropriate Leisure Buddy.

•

Participants are matched with a Leisure Buddy on a first come, first serve basis.

•

Spring, Summer and Winter Break camp programs require high demand for leisure buddies.

Participants are eligible for two weeks of Leisure Buddy support based on availability and resources.

•

Access to a Leisure Buddy is not a guarantee. If a Leisure Buddy cannot be found, Access Services will be in contact to discuss further options which may include withdrawal from the program.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THOSE APPLYING FOR A LEISURE BUDDY: •

We acknowledge that each participant is unique and are keen to learn the best approaches or techniques specific to your child so they can be successful in our programs.

•

When describing your child’s needs please remember what may be routine for you and your family may not be routine for our program staff.

•

Our program staff focuses on leading group activities and aims to provide balanced supervision for all participants.

The Leisure Buddy assists the instructor and participants by supporting those with one-to-one needs.

•

Your child’s Leisure Buddy does not provide any personal care including changing, toileting, feeding or administering medications.

•

We want to set all program participants up for success. When selecting a program, please consider the nature of the activities your child will be participating in. If you are unsure if a program is the right fit, please contact a program supervisor to learn more.

AQUATICS

Winter 2019

* * * 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 enrolment.

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.

CANCELLED CLASSES: A minimum of 48 hours before a class starts, lessons may be cancelled where there is insufficient registration. We will attempt to find space in the next available class or issue a full refund.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF REGISTRATIONS: Program participants can only be registered for 1 swimming lesson set at a time. You may register your child for the next lesson set only after the completion of the lesson set they are currently registered in. Your child may be withdrawn from a program(s) if registered in more than one lesson set per session, or if registered in future lesson sets prior to the completion of the lesson they are currently registered in. There is an administrative fee of $5 for each individual activity withdrawal.

12

WAITLISTS: If the class you want is full, get on the waitlist! Classes with waitlists may replace any classes that have been cancelled.

Please only sign up for one waitlist per participant.

COMBINED CLASSES: Combined classes are being offered in an effort to provide a greater variety of class time options to families. In order to avoid cancelling a class, we may be required to move your child to another time in order to combine 2 classes with low enrolment.

PROGRAM FEES: Program fees cover access to Hyde Creek Pool for participants in Swimming Lessons only on the dates and times listed. Program fees no longer allow participants to use the facility before, or after their lesson. Parents/guardians are welcome to watch their children participate in their lesson; however program fees do not include parent/guardian use of the facility before, during or after their lesson. As space is limited in the pool area during swimming lesson times, all individuals wishing to use the leisure pool, and hot areas may do so for a fee of $2 per visit between the following hours:

TIDAL WAVE AQUATICS

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.

Parents! Flexible Programming Come enjoy different activities every day! Flex FUN can work with your schedule.

We offer DROP IN OPPORTUNITIES in our registered Children Service’s programs.

This allows your child to try out a program to see how they like it, or gives you time to work out, or time for yourself on a day that suits your lifestyle.

The cost of a drop-in is higher than the registered cost, as we believe children get much more from the whole program session but want to allow for a flexible program.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 1. Choose the program you want your child to try out 2. Check availability with our customer service team *if space available 3. Divide the cost of the program by the number of sessions and add $2. This is your daily drop in fee 4. Pay at the front desk and then give your receipt to the program instructor 5. Remember to leave your contact name and number with the instructor for emergencies 6. If you choose to register or want more information about any program, visit www.experienceit.ca!
