I love to move.

My parents love it too because it’s a skill I can use in lots of activities as I grow up.

Help me develop physical literacy and I will be

activeforlife.com/canmore

22 l Canmore Community Guide

8 ways to tell if your child is physically literate How do you know if your child is developing physical literacy? Here are eight simple tests. If you answer yes to a question, chalk one up for physical literacy. If you answer no, your child probably needs some attention in that area.

Physical literacy Physical is about is theliteracy motivation, developing the fundamental confidence, physical movement skills that all competence, knowledge and children need, such as running, understanding to hopping, throwing, catching value and take and jumping. These movement responsibility for skills in turn give kids the engagement in confidence to participate in physical activities different physicalfor activities, life. sports, and games.

1. Forward roll Can your child do a forward roll on the floor?

The forward roll is a basic gymnastic movement that shows your child has developed a reasonable degree of flexibility and coordination, as well as proprioception (knowing where the body is as it moves through space).

2. One-leg balance test Ask your child to stand on one foot for 30 seconds. Get them to put their hands on their hips and lift the knee of their non-standing leg as high as possible. If they start hopping all over the place or falling over, they need to work on balance. Then try the other foot.

3. Swim (comfortable in water) Can your child swim? Swimming is at the core of water sports and is an essential skill for lifetime safety around the water (important when you consider that 75% of our planet’s surface is covered in water).

4. Throw a ball It may seem a bit corny, but the ability to throw a ball is a good measure of a child’s

overall coordination, and it’s an essential skill used in many sports.

5. Strike an object Can your child hit a ball with a bat? A puck with a hockey stick? A badminton bird with a racquet?

6. Land from jumping Watch your child as they jump from a low bench or your deck. Do they land with their knees aligned above their feet and sink smoothly into a squat? Or do their knees collapse inwards and their legs wobble around?

7. Flat-footed squat Can your child do a flat-footed squat from a standing position and then stand up again?

This movement indicates flexibility, coordination, balance, and strength.

8. Confidence to try sports Is your child confident when trying new physical activities or sports? Kids who have a reasonable degree of physical literacy are eager to try new sports and activities.

Physical literacy is one of the most important gifts we can give our children. By developing physical literacy, children gain the skills and the confidence to be active for life.

The Lifesaving Society’s Boat Operator Accredited Training (BOAT) program offers boaters an opportunity to learn about many aspects of safe boating, including: •

Navigation regulations and “rules of the road”; How to respond to emergencies; and • Knowledge about operating a pleasure craft (i.e. safety equipment, loading limits, buoys, beacons, weather, fueling procedures).

•

All candidates are required to pass a Transport Canada standardized written exam to receive their Pleasure Craft Operator (PCO) card. Boaters with previous experience and knowledge can write a special “exam only” option.

Study guides available for $15.00 and exam writing for $35.00. Please call the Aquatic Department at 403.678.8918 for more information.

Red Cross Swim Kids In this Canadian Red Cross learn to swim program.

Participants will be challenged in three areas: Swimming, Fitness Activities and Skills and Water Safety (Red Cross recommends all children entering into the program be 6 years old on the first day.)

Swim Kids 1 Swimmers receive an orientation to water and the pool area and work on floats, glides and kicking. Swimmers build their endurance by working on the 5m front swim.

Swim Kids 2 Swimmers work on propulsion skills to move through the water and to remain at the surface. Swimmers work on the front swim (5m) and learn about deep-water activities and proper use of a Personal Flotation Device (PFD).

Fitness activities include the 10m flutter kick and a 10m distance swim.

Swim Kids 3 This level provides an introduction to diving, and teaches swimmers how to make wise choices about where and when to swim. Endurance is achieved by building strength in the flutter kick and a 15m swim.

Swim Kids 4 This level introduces the front crawl (10m) and back swim with shoulder roll (15m). Swimmers work on kneeling dives, surface support (45 seconds, deep water) and developing a greater sense of self-safety by understanding their own limits.

Endurance is built through a 25m swim.

Swim Kids 5 This level introduces the back crawl (15m), sculling skills, whip kick on the back, stride dives and treading water. Front crawl increases to 15m. An introduction to safe boating skills is also included. Endurance is developed through a 50m swim.

Swim Kids 6 This level refines front crawl with a focus on hand entry and breathing (25m), back crawl with a focus on arm positions and body roll (25m), and introduces elementary backstroke (15m), safety on ice, and rescue of others with throwing assists. Swimmers demonstrate the front dive and their ability to tread water in deep water for 1½ minutes. Endurance is built through dolphin kick and a 75m swim.

Swim Kids 7 This level builds skills and endurance for the front crawl (50m), back crawl (50m) and elementary back stroke (25m) and introduces whip kick on the front. Swimmers learn about airway and breathing obstructions, reach assists and stride entry. Swimming endurance is increased to a 150m swim.

Swim Kids 8 This level is an introduction to breast stroke (15m) and feetfirst surface dives. Swimmers learn about the dangers of open water, hypothermia, the performance of rescue breathing on children and adults, and standing shallow dives. Swimmers participate in timed treading water activities using the eggbeater skill for 3 minutes to improve their ability to remain at the surface in the event of an unexpected fall into water.

Endurance is built on a 300m swim. Front crawl and back crawl distances are increased to 75m each.

Swim Kids 9 This level refines the front crawl (100m), back crawl (100m), elementary back stroke (50m) and breast stroke (25m), and encourages swimmers to combine different kicks for fitness (3 mins). They also work on head-first surface dives and learn about wise choices, peer influences and self-rescue from ice.

Endurance is built through a 400m swim.

Swim Kids 10 This level is a final assessment of the strokes for technique and distance (front crawl 100m, back crawl 100m, elementary back stroke 50m, breast stroke 50m and sidestroke 25m).

Swimmers learn about sun safety, rescue of others from ice, and head-first and feet-first surface dives. Endurance is built using the dolphin kick (vertical) and a 500m swim.

Participation in Red Cross Swim may qualify you for the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit.

Core Climbing Classes

Kids and Climbing

Introduction to Climbing Movement 13+ years Climbing is natural and intuitive, but after our instructors provide a few handy tips, you’ll find that technique and balance are more important than strength!

We recommend that you bring or rent climbing shoes for this fundamentals class.

Introduction to Climbing: Kids and Parents 4 - 10 years and Parents

Kids aged 4 years and older are welcome at Elevation Place climbing gym – we even have climbs set for our youngest climbers! Each child must have a waiver signed by one of their parents once a year at the climbing desk. Kids under age 13 must have an adult day pass holder or an adult Elevation Place member with them at all times to provide supervision.

We offer great climbing programs for birthday programs, school groups and other youth groups. Bring a group together for a private course on your schedule (some date and time restrictions apply). Email smckay@canmore.ca or bspear@canmore.ca for more information.

Automatic Belay System Climbing

This drop-in class introduces children ages 4 - 10 years and their parents to climbing on our indoor climbing wall. Kids will have an opportunity to try bouldering and automatic belay system climbing and parents will learn about climbing opportunities and how to help their children play on the wall.

Please bring clean indoor footwear and we’ll provide the climbing harnesses for this session.

Maximum group size is six children and their parents.

We have seven automatic belay systems with climbs for beginners to advanced climbers. We provide a five minute no-charge training which will allow even a novice to climb a 10 m (30’) wall and be lowered smoothly to the ground.

These trainings aren’t scheduled but are available on demand; a short wait may be required on busy days. Minimum climber weights are 10 kg (22 lbs.) and non-climbing parents can be trained to harness and connect their kids for a great family climbing day. Kids under age 13 require adult supervision while using the automatic belay.

Top Rope Belay Service l 15+ years

Top Rope Climbing

If you don’t have a climbing partner or don’t know how to belay, come to the gym 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Wednesday or Friday nights to try top rope climb while belayed by our staff. If you have passed your lead belay test, you can get a lead belay as well.

Maximum group size: Six participants.

Getting Started at the Wall Access, Waivers and Orientations All visitors to the climbing gym floor must have a valid day pass, membership or be part of an Elevation Place conducted program. We also require visitors to sign a waiver and complete an orientation. Adults will need photo identification to sign the waiver and climbers under 18 years of age must have a parent with photo ID to sign their waiver. A signed waiver can cover a year of access to the facility.

Town of Canmore Let’s Talk About Food...

Refreshing Information About Bottled Water

at Town of Canmore Facilities

• Since 2009, with the support of the Federation of Canadian

Municipalities, the Town of Canmore phased out the sale and purchase of bottled water at our facilities where potable water is available.

• Instead of bottled water, we encourage the community to

drink our high quality municipal water, freely accessible in our facilities.

Why? • This decision is in line with the Town of Canmore’s municipal

commitment to sustainability, and supports our broader waste diversion goals, reduces litter, lowers waste disposal costs for the Town and provides an opportunity to promote our clean, safe municipal water supply.

• For most Canadians, excellent drinking water is as close as the

We invite you back to the tap.

•

We are pleased to offer our clean, safe, free municipal water in our municipal facilities.

•

Affordable, attractive, reusable water bottles are for sale at the Customer Experience desk.

nearest fountain or faucet. Municipal drinking water is safe, reliable and affordable. This is certainly the case in Canmore.

• Tap water is more sustainable than bottled water.

• The lifecycle of a plastic water bottle creates significant amounts

of greenhouse gases, impacting the climate,and results in additional waste in landfills when they are not recycled.

• Water is a human right.

• Up to 40% of bottled water in Canada and the US is actually

sourced from municipal tap water.

• In the vast majority of Canadian cities, tap water undergoes far

more regular and strenuous testing than bottled water.

Comparative Religion

Our life patterns journey around in cycles and spirals. We will use the seasons summer, fall, winter, and spring as inspiration for self-reflection, to free our inner rhythms, to glean personal insights, to open up our creativity and unlock the muse. This will develop our courage as writers and help us become a more alert and vital human beings. This course is open to all writers.

Interested in gaining a basic understanding of world religions? Each week we will examine the rituals, doctrines, and institutions of one religion. We will cover Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Taoism. There will be unstructured classroom discussion time to allow for a better understanding of the origins and principles of each faith and the influence of religion in current world events. Participants will also gain insight into their own belief systems deepening their personal understanding of spirituality. Religions offer stories or mythologies that help individuals and society cope and thrive within the challenging conditions in which they live. As we head into a critical time of environmental degradation, materialism, and social alienation, the stories on which our belief systems are based will enable us to create new mythologies by which we live. Studying religions helps us better understand what basic tenets of humanity need to change for us to succeed.

Sustainability

Accelerating Canmore Toward Sustainability

Total Solid Waste Landfilled vs Diverted

Population 30,000 25,000

What is sustainability?

The word sustainability is used frequently and in many different contexts, from development in the oil sands to recycling in Canmore. But just what is sustainability and how is sustainability expressed in Canmore? In a nutshell, we’re sustainable when we meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. To create a sustainable society, we need both a vision of where we want to go and a plan for getting there. To do this, The Town of Canmore adopted a framework for sustainable development pioneered

by The Natural Step as a tool to help us work toward sustainability. Grounded in solid scientific research, The Natural Step framework challenges us to consider whether our daily actions move us toward, or away from, sustainability.

The Town of Canmore has used the framework for sustainable development to help define our vision for the community, both now and in the future. It is reflected in our key strategic documents – Mining the Future, Signposts to Sustainability, our Community Sustainability Plan, our Corporate Strategic Plan and our Environmental Sustainability Action Plan.

Our Environmental Sustainability Action Plan defines goals (for both the corporation of the Town of Canmore and for the community) in five key program areas that collectively help Canmore move toward sustainability. The five key program areas include: •

20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000

2001 0.70

2002 0.80

2003 0.89

2009 0.52

2010 0.48

2011 0.45

2012 0.46

Total Population

Total Tonnes of Waste Landfilled

What you can do to help us achieve our goal: • Take to heart the first R of the 3Rs – reduce the amount of waste you generate.

• Take advantage of all of the Town of Canmore’s waste diversion opportunities and recycle at your neighbourhood recycling bin and at the Elk Run recycling depot.

• Buy refillable or reusable containers – avoid single use containers.

Water management The long term community goal is to reduce per capita residential water consumption to 111 litres/person/day by 2035 (the average Canadian uses 343 litres of water/person/ day; the average Swede uses 200 litres/person/day). In 2012 the average Canmore resident consumed 121 litres of water per day.

Resource conservation and waste management

•

Water management Energy and climate protection • Toxin reduction • Community education and engagement •

Some of the highlights from each program area are: Resource conservation and waste management The long term community goal is to reduce the amount of residential solid waste landfilled to 0.30 tonnes/person/year by 2035 (the average Canadian landfills 0.79 tonnes/person/ year). In 2012, the average Canmore resident landfilled 0.46 tonnes of waste. Although we have not yet achieved our long term waste generation goal, we can celebrate a higher than average diversion rate for our community – 49%. As we move forward with Canmore’s Beyond Curbside recycling program, our diversion rate should climb even higher.

• Landscape with drought tolerate plants to reduce your watering needs.

Sustainability Grade 10 invasive species/drama program • “Not all flowers are friendly” education campaign • Development and distribution of Canmore specific wildflower seed mix.

Energy and climate protection The long term community goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 4.3 tonnes CO2e/person/year. In 2012, the average Canmore resident emitted 9.7 tonnes of CO2e/ person/year.

What you can do to help us achieve our goal: • Consider going pesticide free in your yard and if you do, share it with us so we can celebrate your achievements!

What you can do to help us achieve our goal: • Get an energy audit done on your home – and act on the results.

• Install a programmable thermostat.

• Walk, cycle or car pool.

Toxin reduction There are several goals for the community related to toxin reduction scheduled for completion by 2015: • 50% of residents voluntarily report that they do not use chemical herbicides to maintain their properties.

• Retailers and commercial applicators provide annual data on herbicide sales or applications.

• Collect baseline data on residential herbicide sales and commercial herbicide applications.

• Establish herbicide reduction goal.

The Environmental Sustainability Action Plan also defines the development a community education and engagement strategy to increase the community’s commitment to and participation in efforts to minimize the use of herbicides and other potentially toxic substances. To this end, the Town of Canmore Parks department delivers education and engagement programs to Canmore residents: • Build a barrel program • Wildflower presentations • Invasive plant information booth at the Mountain Market • Weed pull for cash • Participation in the Communities in Bloom program • Grade 4 and 7 invasive species education program

Learn about alternatives to household cleaning items that do not use hazardous chemicals. The Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley has some great suggestions. www.bioshphereinstitute.org •

Be responsible when disposing of your toxic waste – participate in the Town of Canmore’s toxic waste roundups in the spring and fall.

Community education and engagement There are three goals in the Community education and engagement section of the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan. The first is to develop formal community education and engagement programs and initiatives that support the attainment of the sustainability goals outlined in each of the other sections of the Plan. The second is to achieve awareness and active participation of the majority of the residential population in activities or initiatives that move the community towards sustainability. The third is to achieve awareness and active participation of the majority of local businesses and organizations in activities or initiatives that move the community towards sustainability.

What you can do to help us achieve our goal: • Let us know your thoughts on our sustainability programs – what we’re doing well and what you’d like to see us doing!

•

Participate in sustainability programs offered by the Town of Canmore and the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley.

In addition to our commitment to environmental sustainability, The Town of Canmore is also concerned with economic and social sustainability as well. Efforts such as diversifying the local economy, creating a tourism strategy for Canmore and supporting a range of low impact non-polluting light industry, which builds on the natural assets of the community and will move us toward economic sustainability. We are working on ensuring affordable housing, creating opportunities for residents of all ages to communicate and interact together and continuing to participate in programs such as the Fair Trade Town program to demonstrate our commitment to social sustainability.

Many excellent tools, concepts and metrics are available to help people understand sustainability, identify actions and evaluate impacts.

Community Recycling

Community Beyond Recycling Information

Curbside...

Together you and the Town of Canmore can make recycling happen with these 4 simple steps: Step 1: Collect and sort your recyclable material.

3 streams: mixed paper (includes all paper and

cardboard), glass, plastic and metal).

Step 2: Open your door, walk to your closest

neighbourhood recycling bin.

(Hint… they are blue and there is one in your neighbourhood!)

Step 3: Activate your brain to determine which of the three

slots you put your recycling in.

Step 4: Walk home.

Recycling is easy in Canmore (Really Easy)!

Look for the new BLUE recycling bin in your neighbourhood. www.canmore.ca/Recycling-Beyond-Curbside/ Why should you recycle? Because if you throw something away, it is no longer useful, it ends up in landfill and the resources, energy and effort to create them are wasted. If you recycle something, it can be recovered and become material for a new product. Plus, it benefits business and industry. The cost of recovering raw materials from existing waste items is less than the original manufacturing process cost.

68 l Canmore Community Guide

Canmore’s goal is to recycle 70% of our residential waste.

The new neighbourhood recycling program requires households to separate recyclables into 3 easy categories: Mixed paper Plastic and Metal Glass Refundable Beverage Containers will still go to the Bottle Depot.

Join your neighbours – recycling in Canmore is easy!

Fire Bylaw Information Back Yard Fires All Fires Must Be: In a fire pit or receptacle constructed of non-combustible material In a fire pit built into the bare ground or set upon non-combustible material • Not within 2 metres from any building or combustible material • Kept to a reasonable size (under 1 metre both height and width) • Fully supervised at all times by at least one person 14 years of age and older • May be started at 10:00 a.m. and fully extinguished by 1:00 a.m.

You must have a means to extinguish the fire on hand at all times. The fire must be extinguished completely, so that the ashes are cold prior to leaving the fire.

• •

You cannot burn:

Tips for fire pit use:

• Treated or painted lumber

•

• Lumber products containing glue or resins • Wet wood • Leaves, brush or yard waste • Garbage • Rubber, tires or plastic

Only clean, dry firewood is permitted to be burned in fire pits • High wind speeds may pose a fire hazard • Placing a metal grill/screen on top of the fire pit reduces the flame’s size and helps prevent sparks and embers from escaping

Fines for violations of these regulations range between $250 and $2,000.

That’s a lot of wieners and s’mores!

Other Information You Should Know Fireworks: Fireworks are not allowed in Canmore, except at special events such as New Years, etc. and then only when set off by a licensed pyro technician. It’s also illegal to sell fireworks in Canmore, so don’t bother going shopping for them.

And those fireworks you bought from that roadside stand? Don’t let them off here.

You would be putting your friends and neighbors at risk, and it’s just not worth the $250 fine.

To report illegal use of fireworks, phone 403.678.5516, 24 hours a day. You will be connected to the RCMP. Alternatively, during the day you can call Canmore Bylaw Services at 403.678.4244.

Fire Ban: The Fire Chief has the authority to declare a complete ban on all burning within the Town.

Members of the Town of Canmore Fire Department, RCMP or a Peace Officer may ask you to extinguish your fire when a fire ban is in effect. They may also ask you to extinguish your fire if you are not complying with the regulations listed above.

The fine for having a fire when there is a fire ban is $2,000. Gas BBQ’s are always permitted, unless specifically stated in the fire ban (which isn’t often).

Illegal Back Yard Fires:

www.canmore.ca 70 l Canmore Community Guide

To report an illegal or hazardous fire, phone 911 and ask for Canmore Fire-Rescue.

This is a routine response for them. Alternatively, during the day, you can call Canmore Bylaw Services at 403.678.4244.

Perpetually Affordable Housing (PAH) by CCHC CCHC offers housing options at below market prices. Eligibility criteria apply.

Help us reach our waste reduction goals and demonstrate Canmore’s commitment to sustainability – find a way to participate!

REDUCE • Look

for ways to use fewer things, and thus create less waste. You’ll save yourself time and money.

• Buy only what you need. Before you buy any item, ask yourself if you really need it, or could you make do with what you already have?

• Choose products that do as many jobs as possible – printers that also scan and fax (if you need all three functions), all-purpose cleaners, rather than specialized ones for each surface or type of room.

This reduces the number of products you have to deal with, decreases packaging and cuts down on clutter!

REUSE • Rent

seldom used items, such as tools or party ware • Start a tool library with your neighbours • Join Bow Valley Freecycle – it’s a great way to share your unwanted stuff with others in the community who want it!

• Donate to the local thrift stop

RECYCLE • Take

advantage of all the recycling opportunities in Canmore and the Bow Valley to recycle your waste and increase the community’s diversion rate!

72 l Canmore Community Guide

The frequent movement of wildlife through the Town is something that makes us unique. For the safety of both wild and domestic animals, all cats, dogs and other pets must be controlled at all times. This means that dogs must be on a leash at all times, except when in the three designated offleash areas (Elk Run Boulevard, Highway 1A, Quarry Lake).

Dogs are not allowed in playgrounds or other public parks.

The Town of Canmore requires that all dogs belonging to full-time residents be licensed.

Wildlife Sightings or Encounters Any wildlife encounters involving aggressive or threatening animals should be reported. All sightings of predators such as bears, cougars and wolves on trails or in and around the Town should be reported to Kananaskis Country dispatch 403.591.7755. In an emergency, call 911.

Help Keep Bears Wild!

If bears find food in Town, they come looking for more.

Please remove any birdfeed between April 1 to October 31.

Share the Space Parking in Canmore can be a real challenge. Bylaw Services receives several complaints annually about vehicles that don’t move. Please remember that streets are public property and that primary use is for short term parking (less than 72 hours). If you are heading out of town on a trip or have a long term guest that doesn’t require their vehicle, make sure it is parked on private property to free up the parking on the street for others.

Starting a Business in Canmore Thinking of doing business in Canmore? Please email or contact the Business Registry Coordinator at 403.678.1503 or email businessregistry@canmore.ca to obtain your licence.

Everyone conducting business must have a valid licence to operate in Canmore. For more information visit the Government of Canada website www.canadabusiness.ca.

Frequently Asked Questions Q. I have just bought a home in Canmore. What do I need to do to set up a tax and utilities account with the Town?

A. When you take possession your lawyer will register your name(s) on title with Alberta Land Titles. Based on the information received from Alberta Land Titles we update the Town of Canmore tax roll and utility (water, sewer, garbage) account (if applicable) twice a month to reflect current ownership additions and/or changes. You may also want to consider enrolling in the Town of Canmore pre-authorized payment plans for taxes and utilities. Visit www.canmore.ca/ Municipal-Services/Property-Tax/Payment-Options.html for details.

Q. Where do I go to set up gas and electricity accounts on my new property?

A. The Town of Canmore does not endorse any particular provider. Albertans can choose their electricity provider and rate plan. You have the option to choose between your regulated rate provider (see chart below) and power retailers.

There are different electricity products, with different rates, terms and services, and some will suit Albertans’ needs and budgets better than others.

In Alberta you have choices for electricity in your home or office. Under competitive retail service, you can choose to purchase your electricity and natural gas from a variety of retailers. You and the retailer of your choice may enter into a contract for the type and length of energy service you want. Retailers may offer long-term stable rate plans, “green” energy purchase plans or bundled plans for both electricity and natural gas. The regulated distribution company for your area will then deliver your energy to you. See below for options.

Q. Where can I find more information on all the gas and electricity providers in Alberta?

A. Alberta’s Utilities Consumer Advocate (UCA) provides this information at www.ucahelps.gov.ab.ca/ or by calling 310.4UCA (310.4822) toll-free anywhere in Alberta.
