Lifeguard needed for ALC Aqua Fit classes

More than 40 members of Chatham’s Active Lifestyle Centre (ALC) have registered for Aqua Fitness and Pool Access programs unless a certified lifeguard can be found the program will remain beached.

Tracey Jones of the ALC said the organization has been unable to find the required lifeguard to be on duty during the twice-weekly 90-minute sessions.

“The pre-registration for the program has been as successful as any we’ve had in quite a while,” Jones said.

She said the ALC is grateful for the partnership with the Revera Chatham Retirement Resort that has agreed to al- low the ALC program to use its pool.

“We’ve got the people and we’ve got a great partnership but we need the lifeguard,” Jones said.

Anyone interested in applying for the lifeguard position can call Jones at the ACL at (519) 352-5633 or by email at tjones@aclchatham. ca.

Suzanne

Mae (Haydon) Gardiner at Riverview Gardens on Monday March 13, 2023 at the age of 82 years. She was predeceased by our father Charlie Gardiner in 2019. Mom and Dad were married for 57 years. Mom was a strong-willed person and didn’t pull any punches in making her opinions known; not just to Dad but to everyone. She could argue that day is night or night is day but in the end she was always about love and caring for others. She and Dad cared and raised us 3 kids; Annette (Mark), Ray and Bill (Jen), always instilling in us the values of family, love and caring, and they encouraged us to be the best that we could be. We were all heartbroken when Ray passed away in 2016. Mom was always there for us…through good and bad, she always supported us. And as many know, her caring did not stop just with her children. She cared just as much for her many nieces and nephews, her friends and their families and the community at large, even total strangers. She was involved in Girl Guides, Scouting, Jaycettes/Jaycees and other such organizations over the years. She and Dad loved their second family at Campers Cove in Wheatley where they were seasonal campers for over 46 years. They were highly involved in organizing and participating in many camp activities during their many years there and continued to do the same in Bushnell Florida after Dad’s retirement. Mom lived for her grandchildren Vanessa, Bill (Jr.) and Kate, as well as her Great Grandkids Teagan, Pheobe, Owen, Ryker and Jacob. She always lit up given the chance to spend time with them. She was very happy and excited when her little sister Roberta “Bunny” moved back to Chatham as she missed seeing her. In the last few years Mom suffered from Alzheimer’s and made Riverview Gardens her home. She was cared for with love and compassion by the staff on 6 West there and our family can’t thank them enough for all they did for her over the past 3 years, especially given all the challenges from COVID. If you want to do something to remember Mom, do a good deed for someone in your family or your community. Hug your grandchildren as often as you can, while you can. And challenge your kids because maybe sometimes maybe day is night and night is day…either way, they’re going to love you for that someday!

A Celebration of Life will take place at the Kent Belgian Dutch Canadian Club, 34 Byng Ave, Chatham on Saturday April 8, 2023 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
