New this Fall We are Going Green

From coffee cups to napkins, left-overs to juice boxes ‌ we are introducing compost bins and blue bin recycling stations in our main public areas. Watch for them in the JDF Arena Lobby, Pool Lobby and at Bear Mountain Arena. In addition to our current paper recycling we are also introducing paper hand towel recycling in all of our rest rooms, and an extensive recycling program including soft plastics and Styrofoam throughout our staff offices, child care rooms and program areas. Take a moment and read the signs posted at each recycling station and place your unwanted items in the appropriate container. If we all recycle responsibly we can make a big difference!

The inside pages of our guide are printed on 80% recycled paper. The pulp process is a non chemical process called Thermal Mechanical Pulp (TMP). Fibers are broken down with steam, not chlorine. In addition, the inks are vegetable based and applied through a cold set process which has zero impact on the environment.

Free Demo Classes PAGE 53

Be sure to check out the FREE Demo classes in our Music and Fitness Sections. Attend the class for free and if you are hooked, register for the session to follow. Please note we do require registration for these FREE Classes.

Nature Preschool

PAGE 27

We are excited to introduce this preschool program for 4 year olds based on Forest Schools which have been operating successfully in Europe for over 50 years. Children will join Lindsay and Suzanne completely outdoors as they deepen their understanding of the world around them, and build a relationship with their community and the environment.

Changeroom Guidelines PAGE 16 For the comfort of all, we ask that you and your children use the appropriate changeroom. Girls 7 years and up are required to use the female or family changeroom.

Boys 7 years and up are required to use the male or family changeroom. Thank you for your understanding.

Revised Skating Levels PAGE 20

The Learn to Skate programs has been revised to include all Greater Victoria municipalities. Active Communities Greater Victoria now provides a streamlined program designed so that any pre-school or school age child can have their accomplishments transferred from centre to centre.

My family and I frequently use the many services offered at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre. Since the age of six months, our kids have been pretty much continuously enrolled in swimming lessons and we can’t rave enough about the many excellent instructors they’ve had. This is our go-to place for activities: I’ve done different exercise and personal interest programs from Scrapbooking to line-dancing and aqua Zumba.

My husband uses the weight room, and it’s the first place we check when looking for fun, physical activities for our children. Add to that, our frequent trips to the library, walks on the chip trail around the facilities, and play dates at the playground, it’s a rare week that passes without us being at the Juan de Fuca Rec Centre.

I’m a paramedic with the BC Ambulance Service and I consider it a privilege to be able to help people and make a living doing it. My left shoulder had chronic dislocations for years so I finally decided to get surgery to fix the problem. A couple of surgeries, a bone graft and a couple of bolts later, I was wondering if I’d ever use the shoulder again, much less get back to work.

I had the exceedingly good fortune of coming under the care of Kristy Webster at the West Shore Recreation facility. From the outset she was energetic and positive. She assured me regaining the use of the shoulder was a forgone conclusion and that her goal was to get me back to the job I love as soon and as safely as possible. And, so our work began ...

Kristy’s energy and encouragement had me working past any limits I had imagined for myself. She has a wonderful attitude and is a tireless motivator. I am happy to say that I am now back to work, performing all the duties required and then some.

It was a lot of hard work but I fully credit Kristy with my successful return to work. Especially with the strength I have gained back and lack of pain I’ve been having. I am once again doing what I love. I cannot thank her enough nor could I recommend her more.
