“Recreation is the experience that results from freely chosen participation in physical, social, intellectual, creative and spiritual pursuits that enhance individual and community wellbeing.”

As the needs of our community and their recreational pursuits continue to evolve, the Miramichi Community Wellness and Recreation Department along with Miramichi City Council remain invested in providing recreational opportunities that foster the wellbeing of our residents and our community.

The City of Miramichi has recently updated their vision and core values for the Community Wellness and Recreation Department to better align with the common vision for recreation identified in the Framework for Recreation in Canada and across the country.

Community Development

The City of Miramichi recognizes the importance of having the community involved in shaping the future of Miramichi. Miramichi Community Wellness and Recreation has enhanced it’s focus on community development by taking this same approach to program service delivery.

The Department will strive to provide support to community driven events, initiatives, and programs. An example of this is the Community Development Grant program that has provided financial support to over 20 community initiatives since 2022 totalling approximately $80,000. The Department also continues to provide in-kind services to many community events and festivals. It is these types of community initiatives that make our community stronger and more connected.

The Department has also put more focus on gathering input from the community when planning future recreational opportunities. An example of this is the input sought into the revised Miramichi Active Transportation Plan, and the 2022 Outdoor Parks and Recreation Plan. The input we have received from the public will be valuable in shaping the future and ensuring that the recreational facilities and programs we provide meet the needs of the community now and into the future.

Updated Mission Statement

The City of Miramichi Community Wellness & Recreation Department will engage residents of Miramichi in meaningful lifelong recreation experiences that enhance individual and community wellbeing by providing access to enjoyable, high quality, sustainable, and accessible recreational experiences.

Message from the

Miramichi Multiplex

With the funding announcement in late April, over 15 years of work on the Miramichi Multiplex project is finally coming to life. The City’s need for a new centralized recreation facility has finally come to reality. This facility will be the heart of our community and ensure that our community will have access to quality recreational opportunities, which will enhance the quality of life for all residents of Miramichi and future generations. The Community Wellness and Recreation Department looks forward to shaping the design of this facility and is very excited to soon being part of making this facility a vibrant space where the community can gather and enjoy the benefits of what recreation has to offer.

Facilities

Miramichi Community Wellness and Recreation aims to ensure that all facilities are safe and enjoyable for all users. Parks, trails, and recreation facilities are important in creating a sense of place, that help to bring our community together. These facilities provide critical connections for residents through the natural environment, recreational pursuits, historic appreciation, and social and cultural events. The City of Miramichi continues to invest in our community spaces and recreation facilities. Examples of this are the development of pickleball courts, northern spine and paving of trail systems to promote active transportation, the winter skating trail, upgrades to accessibility at arenas, expanded usage of the Miramichi Eco-Centre, winter operation of off-leash dog park, playground upgrades, and increased docking and services at Station Wharf Marina. The sense of place these facilities create shapes the cohesive fabric of vision, values and identity of the community while promoting an active lifestyle for all ages. City council along with staff will continue to ensure that sufficient investments are made to our existing assets and will look to improve on the recreational inventory in meeting the current and future needs of our citizens.

Programming

As you will see from the multiple programs and activities in this brochure, Miramichi Community Wellness and Recreation staff and the many volunteers, and volunteer associations have worked extremely hard in providing safe positive recreational opportunities for all residents. We are always looking for new programs and initiatives that meet the needs of our changing population. If you have ideas, suggestions or comments, the Department would like to hear from you. You can contact our Department in person at our office at 94 General Manson Way, by phone at (506)623-2300 or by emailing us at miramichirecreation@miramichi.org.

Miramichi Community Wellness and recreation would like to thank you for exploring the many recreational opportunities available in our community, and hope you are able to find the programs, services, and facilities that allow you to live a healthy active lifestyle, and a sense of belonging in our community.

RECREATION … the benefits are endless!

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

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.

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.

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 5m, interval training and get a giggle out of whip kick.

SWIMMER Ages 5+ years

Levels Range on a continuum where previous level is expected to be fully completed before going on to the next.

Swimmer 1

These beginners will become comfortable jumping into water with and without a lifejacket. They’ll learn to open their eyes, exhale, and hold their breath underwater. They’ll work on floats, glides, and kicking through the water on their front and back.

Swimmer 2

These advanced beginners will jump into deeper water and learn to be comfortable falling sideways into the water wearing a lifejacket. They’ll be able to support themselves at the surface without an aid, learn whip kick, front & back crawl, and swim 10m on their front and back and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 5 m).

Swimmer 3

Swimmer 4

These junior swimmers will dive and do in-water somersaults and handstands. They’ll work on 15m of front crawl, back crawl and 10m of whip kick. Flutter kick interval training increases to 4 x 15m.

These intermediate swimmers will swim 5m underwater and 25 m lengths of front & back crawl, whip kick, and breaststroke arms with breathing. Their new bag of tricks includes the completion of the Canadian Swim to Survive Standard. They’ll cap it all off with a front crawl sprint over 25m and 4 x 25m front or back crawl interval training

Swimmer 5

These swimmers will master shallow dives, cannonball entries, eggbeater kicks, and in-water backward somersaults. They’ll refine their front and back crawl over 50m swims of each, and breaststroke over 25m. Then they’ll pick up the pace in 25m sprints and two interval training workouts: 4 x 50m front or back crawl; and 4 x 15m breaststroke.

Swimmer 6

These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor kick. They’ll develop strength and power in head-up breaststroke sprints over 25 m. They’ll easily swim lengths of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke, and they’ll complete a 300 m workout

Canadian Swim Patrol is the on-ramp to lifeguarding.

Swimmers continue stroke development with 50m swims of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke. Lifesaving sport skills include 25m obstacle swim and 15m object carry. First aid focuses on assessment of conscious victims, contacting EMS and treatment for bleeding. Fitness improves in 350m workouts and 100m timed swims.

Ranger (Swimmer 8)

Star (Swimmer 9)

Youth Swimmer (Ages 12-16yrs)

Swimmers develop better strokes over 75m swims of each stroke. They tackle Lifesaving Sport skills in a lifesaving medley, timed object support and rescue with a buoyant aid. First aid focuses on assessment of unconscious victims, treatment of victims in shock and obstructed airway procedures. Skill drills develop a strong lifesaving foundation.

Swimmers are challenged with swimming workouts; 300m timed swims and a 25m object carry. Strokes are refined over 100m swims. First aid focuses on treatment of bone or joint injuries and respiratory emergencies including asthma and allergic reactions. Lifesaving skills include defense methods, victim removals and rolling over and supporting a victim in shallow water.

Youth Swimmer is a class offered for youth aged 12 to 16 years of age who have had little to no instructional swim experience. Participants will be able to learn at their own pace and set their own goals. Instructors will tailor the lessons to everyone’s skill level.

ARENAS

Looking to find a way to work out over the winter? Ice skating has many health and wellness benefits plus it’s lots of fun!

Did you know that skating works nearly every muscle group in the body and gliding requires synchronized movement of the legs which is important for joint flexibility? It also builds up the leg and abdominal muscles plus is great for cardiovascular health...it gets the blood pumping and the heart rate up.

Skating is also great for stress management. Along with the benefits of the physical activity in itself, it is also a great way to unwind after a long week and also provides a way of meeting new people.

So grab your skates and head out to the Miramichi Civic Centre or Lord Beaverbrook Arena (LBA) and join us for one of our many public, preschool, or senior skates. Whether you come for hockey, ringette, figure skating or one of the adult fun leagues, the health benefits to putting on your pair of skates are endless!
