TOWNSHIP of Wilmot Fall Leaf Collection Program

Snow Removal

The Region of Waterloo will collect bagged leaves as part of their yard waste collection program. Collection will occur in Baden, Foxboro, Haysville, Mannheim, New Dundee, New Hamburg, Petersburg, Shingletown and St. Agatha as well as other designated areas (check the collection map in your Wilmot Waste Collection Calendar).

Snow Plowing Do’s and Don’ts

Items to remember: • Collection is every second week, on your collection day. The yard waste program runs from April to November each year.

Check your collection calendar for the specific collection weeks.

• Leaves in Kraft paper bags or in garbage cans identified with a coloured ribbon or a Region of Waterloo yard waste sticker will be collected. Call the Region at 519-883-5100 to receive a free yard waste sticker.

• NO plastic bags permitted. Leaves and yard waste will not be collected if in plastic bags or cardboard boxes.

• Yard waste and leaves only. No patio stones, plastic planters, concrete, glass, plastic, rocks, tree stumps, or branches in excess of 7.5 cm (3 in.) in diameter.

• All items must be out at the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day. Separate the yard waste bags from your garbage containers for easy access.

• Containers must weigh less than 23 kg (50 lbs).

• Check your waste collection calendar for more information on this and other waste management services.

Interested in alternatives to bagging your leaves?

Give your lawn and garden much needed moisture retention and nutrients by mulching your leaves. Slowly push your lawn mower a few times through dry leaves for best results.

Compost your leaves by adding small quantities to your back yard compost bin. Or prepare a separate compost heap that can produce a high quality, nutrient-rich soil amendment for your garden and flowerbeds.

1) Help Your Hydrant If your hydrant is buried by drifts or snowbanks, please dig it out or call the Public Works Department at 519-634-8444 2) Remember….You Have 24 Hours All property owners are required to remove snow and ice on the sidewalks adjacent to their property 24 hours after a winter storm ends.

3) Don’t Get the Windrow Woes We understand your frustration when you clear your driveway and then a plow comes by and leaves a pile of snow – a windrow. Unfortunately it’s impossible to plow without leaving one.

4) Overnight Parking – Winter Enforcement Parking is prohibited between 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. during the winter season (December 1st to March 31st). By-Law Enforcement will be actively enforcing this provision in order to alleviate any interference with winter maintenance operations.

Failure to adhere to the by-law may result in a fine or towing of your vehicle.

5) By-law 84-72 Please remember that it is illegal to deposit snow from driveways / laneways onto the road. Those found to be in contravention of the by-law may be subject to a fine up to $2,000 6) Be Patient When plowing operations begin in a snow event the plows have routes to follow that are designed to minimize duplication and maximize efficiency. Plowing operations take approximately 5 hours without an excessive amount of snow, longer with more. Sanding and salting operations commence after plowing.

7) Curbside Basketball Nets Please ensure that basketball nets are placed well away from the edge of the roadway to allow for safe and efficient plowing operations.

Any questions or concerns regarding snow removal may be directed to the Public Works Department at 519-634-8444

PROGRAM INFORMATION

WILMOT AQUATIC CENTRE How to Have Successful Swimming Lessons • Visit the pool before swimming lessons start. Give you child a tour of the facility.

• Have fun and swim with your child during a recreational swim prior to beginning lessons and practice skills they already know.

• Set realistic expectations with your child and allow your child to feel that there are no expectations to receive a badge. Swimmers often need more than one set of lessons in order to gain the skills that will allow them to complete a level.

• Make sure you bring any concerns to the instructor in a timely manner.

• If your child has a medical concern or a learning challenge, please speak to the instructor at the first lesson. This will allow us to help your child get the most out of their lesson.

Lesson Information • Please return your most recent progress card to your Swimming Instructor. These will be updated and returned on the last lesson.

• Participants will be screened on the first lesson to ensure they are enrolled in the appropriate level. If your child is enrolled in the wrong level, we will do our best to get your child into the appropriate level. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a space in the level you require will be available during your current lesson time.

• Each swimming level has items that must be completed correctly a minimum of 3 times on separate lessons in order for that item to be complete. (According to the standards set by the Red Cross.) Attendance is important for your child’s success in the program.

Privates and Semi-Privates You can now Register for Privates on-line recWeb. (Semi-privates must be done in person) A private lesson may be what your child needs to complete a badge or learn a new skill. Please ensure that you speak to you child’s instuctor at the start of the lesson to set-out your goals and what you are hoping to accomplish for your child.

Minimum age for private lessons is 3 years of age.

If you are interested in semi-private lessons, it is your responsibility to find the other participant. When registering for semi-private lessons and both parties do not reside in the same household, registration must be done in person and both parties must be present at the time of registration. To ensure quality instructions both participants must be in similar levels.

Semi-private lessons must be registered in person at the Wilmot Recreation Complex. Privates and semi-privates must be prepaid and are subject to the absentee policy. **If all private spots are full and you are still interested in a lesson, please contact the Wilmot Recreation Centre and we can add you to waiting list.

ADMISSION POLICY FOR RECREATIONAL SWIMS WAC staff members are experts trained in aquatic emergencies. They are required to supervise all patrons in the pool and cannot act in a child care capacity. Parental supervision of all children under 10 years of age is strongly recommended during all pool visits.

Children aged 7 and under and children 8 – 10 years who are weak or non- swimmers • Must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is responsible for their direct supervision. A Maximum of 2 children for each parent/ guardian • Children wearing personal flotation devices (water wings, lifejackets etc) must be supervised at all times Children aged 8 to 10 years of age who are strong swimmers • May be admitted into the pool without direct supervision provided they are able to demonstrate the ability to pass the Aquatic Swim test. This test consists of a 25 meter swim completed comfortably by the swimmer without stopping or putting their feet on the bottom • Parents/ Guardians must remain in the facility until the swim test is completed successfully. If the child is unable to complete the swim test, the Parent/ Guardian will be required to participate with the child.

WRIST BAND POLICY In conjunction with our admission policy we will be issuing wrist bands to young swimmers.

• Children 7 years of age or younger will be given a RED ribbon for their wrist. These children must be accompanied in the water at all times by a parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who must remain within arm’s reach at all times • Children 8 – 10 years of age will be given a YELLOW ribbon for their wrist if they wish to perform a swim test to see if they can swim unaccompanied. Parents or the guardian must be in the facility until the child has performed the swim test to ensure the child is able to swim alone.

• If the child passes the swim test, they can have their wrist band removed and they will be issued a swim test card. Swim Test cards must be presented to the customer service representative at each visit.

• If they do not pass the swim test, they will be issued a RED ribbon for their wrist and will be required to swim within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is in the pool.

“Direct supervision” is defined as being in the water and able to render immediate assistance.

Persons who have known seizure disorders or other serious medical disorders are at greater risk while swimming. Those individuals should be accompanied and supervised by another individual knowledgeable on their condition.

Sport Ball Programs

Monkeynastix

Parents can have a direct hand in a preschooler’s development through 8 different ball sports. Parent and Tot classes teach children important introductory physical skills and help them to develop confidence in their abilities. The programs also help parents understand techniques that can be applied outside of Sportball classes.

Enjoy a fun packed Monkeynastix lesson with your little one with a variety of safe activities and music! Striving to develop children’s balance, eye hand/foot co-ordination, body awareness and gross motor skills each lesson begins with a warm up where 1-2 year olds participate in a fun Babynastix song, stretching positions, locomotion followed by a fine motor activity. Children then follow a circuit with our specialized equipment focusing on a specific skill for that class such as balance beam, trampoline or floor skills. Each lesson ends with a fun closing activity, song and a Monkeynastix sticker handout.

New equipment and lessons are introduced weekly. One adult per child. Note: children must be walking independently.

Working with the area’s landowners and businesses we endeavour to provide an extensive, safe and enjoyable trail system for both the local snowmobiling enthusiasts and visitors to the area.

Our social activities include dances, poker runs and fundraising for local charities. Our clubhouse is open to everyone through the winter season.

Become a member to aid us in achieving our goals of keeping the sport of snowmobiling a healthy, family oriented winter activity.

Meetings: 3rd Wednesday of month at 7:30 p.m. Sept. thru April Location: Wilmot Recreation Complex, Baden Cost: $15.00 single or family Contact: Sean Bond 519-699-5460 Email: nithvalleysnosurfers@hotmail.com

Wilmot Jujitsu abides by the traditional values of Jujitsu, where the passing of knowledge of the art is of primary importance.

We believe that the true values of Jujitsu transcend its technical aspects of training; more important are the developments of mental and moral characteristics such as: Patience, Courage, Self Control, Self Confidence and Humility.

At Wilmot Jujitsu we practice the following arts: Shinki Ryu Jujitsu, Genbukan Ninpo (tai jutsu), International Motobu Ha Shito Ryu Karate, and Hiden Mugai Ryu Iaido.

Shinki Ryu Jujitsu is an effective self defense system and is the foundation of what is taught. It is designed to enhance the confidence of the practitioner while training in a friendly, relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere. Advanced Practitioners are allowed to train in both Karate/Kobujutsu and Iaido/Kenjutsu.

Genbukan Ninpo is offered to advanced students of Shinki Ryu or to students that are specifically interested in Genbukan Ninpo. Ninpo Bugei focuses on teaching the illumination, awareness and defense of mind, body and spirit. It is the essence of traditional Ninjutsu techniques. This is restricted to adult students ages 14 and up.

Wilmot Jujitsu teaches young children (ages 5-9), youth (ages 9-13) and adults (ages 14 and up).
