Registration Policies & Guidelines Uh-oh, we had to cancel:
Regrettably, if a minimum number of registrants is not met, we may have to cancel or combine classes due to insufficient registration. These decisions are made prior to the course start date. Please register early to avoid disappointment. A 100% refund is granted when we cancel a program. When a class has been cancelled due to instructor illness or weather conditions, a class will be added on at the end of the session. If this is not possible, you will be issued a refund in the amount of the missed class.
Oops, changed your plans?:
A refund will be issued if we receive applicable withdrawal notification. Programs and lessons require five (5) or more days’ notice prior to course start date. Camps and certification courses require seven (7) or more days’ notice prior to course start date. If appropriate notice is not given, no refund will be issued. There may be other exceptions to these guidelines. In some cases, these exceptions will be noted in the individual course description. To request a refund, please contact the facility that is offering your program. All program refunds are subject to a $5 processing fee.
Extended Illness / Injury:
In cases of extended illness or injury, a prorated refund may be granted upon provision of a medical note.
Missed Classes:

PHYSICAL LITERACY
Physical literacy is the key to being
ACTIVE FOR LIFE What is Physical Literacy?
Physical Literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. (The International Physical Literacy Association, May 2014) Physical activity is a lot more fun when we’re physically literate. If we want children to be active for life, they need to develop physical literacy at a young age. Physicalliteracy.ca offers coaches, recreation professionals and health practitioners access to a wide range of resources that can help people become physically literate.
What are Fundamental Movement Skills?
Fundamental movement skills are the foundation for an active life. This list contains 25 fundamental movement skills which children can learn:

Balancing Catching Climbing Cycling Dodging Dribbling Hopping Jumping

This symbol denotes Physical Literacy based programs that focus on the development and enhancement of FUNdamental Movement Skills. These essential building blocks instill confidence that comes from skill competence and provides motivation to maintain a life-long attachment to sport, recreation and physical activity.

These sessions provide a chance to get together with other parents and caregivers in your community to talk about it.

The session will start with providing a bit of information on family dynamics, parenting styles, co-parenting, managing behaviours, attachment, screen time, peer orientation and tools for parents and caregivers on how to navigate some of these challenging waters. The goal of the group is to provide some tips, strategies and overall support; however, a portion of the session will be dedicated to open discussion where parents and caregivers can ask for advice and share trade secrets.

This nature outing course is devised to introduce the wonderful art of listening and identifying birds by ear alone. Usually the general public is quite oblivious to the presence of many non-visible bird species that skilled birders regularly identify in all forms of habitat, such as around people’s own homes. It opens up greater chances to monitor and enjoy bird life. Please meet in Providence Farm parking lot.
