GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR

www.wilmot.ca

Dear Residents: On behalf of Wilmot Township Council, I am pleased to present you with the 2018 Spring and Summer Community Recreation Guide. The Community Recreation Guide is a valuable resource that you can use to find out what is going on in our community. It contains information on recreation, sport and leisure programs/activities, volunteer opportunities and contains a list of major events. From cover to cover you will find all the information you need to get involved in your community.

Sometimes programs and activities are created after the Rec Guide is printed.

So, to stay in the loop be sure to check out the community calendar by visiting our website www.wilmot.ca. The community calendar has information on local events and/or new programs that are being offered by our local organizations and service clubs which help our community flourish.

For now, LIVE WELL, PLAY WELL AND BE SAFE! Regards, Mayor Les Armstrong

How to have Successfull 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 complete a level each session. 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. 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 Lifesaving Society.) Attendance is important in your child’s success in the program.

Volunteers Needed!

Volunteers need to be at least 12 years of age and hold your Star Patrol or Swim Kids 10 badge. Volunteers are required to be available for the entire session. Please complete a volunteer application form and submit it to the Customer Service Rep at the Wilmot Recreation Complex. A staff member will contact you to set up your shift.

Preschool Program

Give your child a head start on learning to swim. The Lifesaving Society Preschool Program develops an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before these kids get in too deep.

In our basic aquatic progressions we work to ensure 3 to 5-year olds become comfortable in the water and have fun acquiring and developing a foundation of water skills. We incorporate Lifesaving Society Water Smart® education in all Preschool levels.

Program

Description

Preschool 1 30 minutes 3 – 5 years with parent

Preschool 1: In this transitional class we encourage the parent to participate until their child lets them know they can do it themselves (generally between lesson 3 and 5). These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We’ll help them jump into chest deep water. They’ll float and glide on their front and back and learn to get their faces wet and blow bubbles underwater.

Preschool 2 30 minutes 3 – 5 years Completed Preschool 1

Preschool 2: These preschoolers learn to jump into chest-deep water by themselves, and get in and get out wearing a lifejacket. They’ll submerge and exhale underwater. Wearing a lifejacket they’ll glide on their front and back.

Preschool 3 30 minutes 3 – 5 years Completed Preschool 2 Preschool 4 30 minutes 3 – 5 years Completed Preschool 3

Preschool 3: These youngsters will try both jumping and a sideways entry into deep water while wearing a lifejacket. They’ll recover objects from the bottom in waist-deep water. They’ll work on kicking and gliding through the water on their front and back.

Preschool 5 30 minutes 3 – 5 years Completed Preschool 4

Preschool 5: These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a lifejacket and treading water for 10 sec. They’ll work on front and back crawl swims for 5 m, interval training and get a giggle out of whip kick.

Preschool 4: Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by themselves. They’ll do sideways entries and open their eyes underwater. They’ll master a short swim on their front wearing a lifejacket and gliding and kicking on their side.

Grand Valley Woodcarvers, a non-profit charity, was founded by a small group of enthusiastic carvers with a special interest in carving birds and wildfowl, and a dedication to promoting the art. Today, carvers meet weekly to learn and develop the skill of carving wildfowl in a variety of styles, while enjoying the fellowship of likeminded individuals. Beginners and experienced carvers work next to each other with senior carvers providing guidance and assistance to less experienced carvers and those new to the art and craft.

Over the year, meetings also include carving classes, guest instructors, and demonstrations. Members enjoy access to an excellent growing library of reference books, demonstration videos, patterns, and other study materials.

Additionally, members have the opportunity to participate in the Canadian National Wildfowl Carving Championship, sponsored by the Grand Valley Woodcarvers.

Wilmot Jujitsu - Professional Self Defense

Church Men’s Fastball League

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).
