Welcome to the 2016 Town of Aurora Winter Parks & Recreation Services Program Guide!

Winter is a fun and exciting season filled with toboggans, sleds, snow forts and outdoor ice skating. I encourage all residents to venture outside and participate in outdoor activities as part of an ongoing effort to promote healthy living. Inside this guide, you will find a variety of affordable recreation activities for all ages. Whether you are enjoying the winter outdoors or taking courses such as ballroom dancing or guitar lessons, there is something that appeals to everyone. I hope that you and your families attend the many local events our Town offers throughout the year. Our winter events inspire excitement and community fellowship, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out on the fun! Looking forward, the Parks and Recreation department is developing a Sport Mayor Geoffrey Dawe Plan and updating the Parks & Recreation Master Plan. With input from our residents, key stakeholders and various user groups, these plans will help the Town establish appropriate service levels over the next five years and create a plan to continue delivering quality sports programs. I invite you to learn more about these plans by visiting www.aurora.ca/sportplan and www.aurora.ca/masterplan. For more information about the Town of Aurora and our Special Events, please visit www.aurora.ca. Sincerely,

Mayor Geoffrey Dawe

Just because it’s Winter, doesn’t mean you have to hibernate! Try one of our NEW fitness classes such as Balance Basics, Rebounder classes, POUND, TRX & BOSU Bootcamp and more. If organized classes don’t interest you, remember that our walking/jogging track is open at the Aurora Family Leisure Complex (AFLC) during facility operating hours and it’s always FREE! Club Aurora offers you, your family and friends exceptional value with high quality equipment, certified staff, and fun and energetic programs in a comfortable and clean facility. The Centre is accredited with the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology (CSEP). Our highly specialized staff are available to offer you guidance and personalized training resulting in a quality fitness experience. We are also excited to let you know that the Town of Aurora aims to be recognized as a “Youth Friendly Community” and has recently committed to an organizational effort to direct its focus on assessing the needs of adolescent Youth living in our community. The Town will evaluate its play opportunities against 16 criteria outlined by Play Works Partnership. The assessment will include all play-based activities surrounding: recreation, sport, leisure, arts, drama, dance, civic engagement, youth activism, volunteerism, social clubs and youth leadership. We will be looking to account for all play-based activities delivered by the Town, not-for-profit agencies, faith-based providers, private businesses, self-directed groups, etc. If successful, the Town of Aurora will join other communities in Ontario, on the cutting-edge of Youth engagement and community inclusivity. This is an opportunity for the whole community to ensure the needs of Youth are being met. Any Youth that wish to be involved can play an important role with the Town of Aurora; be it as a member of our Youth Engagement Committee, or just a phone call, we need to hear from you. Please contact Daniel Ridsdale, Youth Programmer - 905-727-3123 ext. 3128 or dridsdale@aurora.ca.

SPoRT FoR LiFe

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.

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 Confidence • Physical Literacy = Active for life

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:

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 Preschool Swimming Lessons, page 21

Red Cross Swim Kids, page 23

On the Move – Gym Time, page 31

Sports Fundamentals, page 25

Jumping Jellybeans – Playtime, page 31

Friday Night Sports, page 37

Puck Power, page 31

Karate Kids, page 37

Playball – Two Can Do, page 32

Dance – Hip Hop Sensations page 37

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 child take part in a wide range of sports. Try these programs: Red Cross Swim Kids, page 22 Busy Bodies, page 36 Basketball Basics, page 36 Children’s Yoga & Mindfulness, page 37 Playball – Indoor Soccer, page 36

Look for this symbol for activities that promote physical literacy.

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

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.

Parent’s Day

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.

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.

Stroller

Strollers are not permitted on the pool deck or in the shower area. Please use the designated stroller parking area located in the family change room.

Family Change Room

The family change room is for mixed gender families, unaccompanied children and persons with identified special needs and their caregiver. Everyone else is encouraged to use the gender specific change rooms.

Town of Aurora - Parks & Recreation Services

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 25 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.

ouTDooR WINTER SkATING

The Town currently constructs four outdoor ice skating rinks within our neighbourhood parks. These are located at Town Park, Confederation Park, Machell Park & Ada Johnson Park. The ice rinks are natural surface and are weather permitting, with construction typically taking place in the early New Year. All rinks are lit for evening skating and are mixed use, with hockey and pleasure skating taking place on the same rink. We ask users to respect others and wear protective gear at all times while on the ice. Please call the Parks Department at 905-727-3123 ext 3233 or visit our website for updates on construction and condition of the rinks.

MEMoRIAl TREE PRoGRAM

The Town of Aurora has a Memorial Tree Planting policy to enable the planting or designation of memorial trees on municipal lands within the Town. If you are interested in planting a memorial tree on municipal lands within the Town please visit www.aurora. ca for further information on our Memorial Tree Planting Policy. Alternatively, you may contact our staff directly at 905-727-3123 ext. 3233 or by email to cwright@aurora.ca.

PARk bENCh DoNATIoN PRoGRAM

In response to requests from our residents who are regular users of our parks and trails, the Parks and Recreation Services Department is pleased to provide a Park Bench Donation Program. You can be part of the program and partner with the Parks and Recreation Services Department in donating a park bench complete with a personalized message of your choice which will be inserted on the bench. Your bench will be installed in a location of your choice in our parks or trails system and our staff will ensure that your bench receives the care and maintenance it deserves for years to come. Our Park Bench Donation program would make a great gift for that special person who is hard to buy for and will truly be a gift that keeps on giving to all of those in need of a place to rest in our parks and along our trail system. For more information on the Park Bench Donation Program please visit the Town of Aurora website. Alternatively, you may contact our staff directly at 905-727-3123 ext. 3233 or by email to cwright@aurora.ca.
