WELCOME A message from the mayor

Waterloo City Council Councillor Bob Mavin

Welcome to the winter edition of the Program and Activities Guide! As you browse through these pages you will find plenty of great indoor and outdoor activities to keep you healthy and active for the entire season. As winter gets into full swing, it’s a great time to bundle up and head outdoors. Starting in December, join us at Rink in the Square, which offers daily free public skating in uptown Waterloo. You can also check the city website to find local outdoor rinks in and around your neighbourhood. Each year a dedicated group of local volunteers make and maintain skating rinks for their neighbours to enjoy. It’s a great way to get out into the community and take in the winter weather! Winter also means Winterloo! Join us February 14 – 16, 2015 in Waterloo Public Square for our annual winter family festival. Come out for a great weekend full of free public skating, incredible local food vendors, arts and crafts, and live entertainment. If indoor activities are more your speed, there are plenty of sports and activities to try out this winter. CARL hosts a full roster of indoor programs to help you stay fit and beat the winter blahs. Why not try your hand at pickleball or an aquatics class? Whatever your interests, there is something for everyone that is sure to fit even the busiest of schedules. I encourage you to stay connected with your Waterloo. Visit waterloo.ca and our Facebook, Twitter and Vimeo sites for the latest city events and news.

Shower before you swim All swimmers must shower with soap and water before entering the pool. Footwear (shoes or boots) is not allowed near the showers or pool area. We offer two choices: remove your footwear and go barefoot or purchase reusable shoe covers (available at the reception desk for 75¢). Lesson start time Swimmers should go to the pool deck at the lesson start time (not earlier). Parents can escort their child to the lesson on the first day to meet the instructor. Look for signs on the pool deck with the name of your child’s swim level (ex. Waterloo Splash 2) and wait for the instructor. Observation gallery Spectators are welcome to watch swimmers from our second floor observation gallery (seats over 300). Class transfers and new registrants You may switch classes prior to the start of the third lesson if space is available.

Feedback day On the fifth lesson, one parent is encouraged to meet the instructor on deck during the last 10 minutes of the class to receive a verbal progress report. If you have concerns about your child’s lessons, speak with the aquatic supervisor. An evaluation form can be found at waterloo.ca/evaluations

Swimplex staff reserve the right to move a child if circumstances dictate. Program and lesson cancellations If enrollment is low, the City of Waterloo reserves the right to cancel swim classes up to three days prior to program start dates. Progress memo At the last lesson, a written progress memo is provided and the instructor will determine the next recommended swim level.

IN YOUR CITY Salt impacts our water.

CURB THE

SALT We all have a role to play.

The Region of Waterloo is committed to protecting our water. We are working to reduce salt use on roads and on properties through innovative solutions and partnerships.

Here’s what YOU can do... Shovel sooner than later. Clear the white stuff as soon as you can so a snowy sidewalk doesn’t become an icy one. Instead of salt, let the sun do the melting for you.

Use salt wisely. Only use salt on icy areas and give it time to work. A little goes a long way and salt doesn’t work when it’s colder than -10°C.

Use salt alternatives. Use alternatives like sand or non-clumping kitty litter to create traction instead of salt.

Wear winter boots. Wear a pair of winter boots with good tread to keep you safe and warm. We can’t always expect bare pavement.

For more ideas contact: Region of Waterloo, Water Services Telephone: 519-575-4400, TTY: 519-575-4608 Email: curbthesalt@regionofwaterloo.ca Website: www.regionofwaterloo.ca/curbthesalt 82
