Message from the Director of Community Services

It’s with pleasure that I welcome you to this edition of the Guelph Community Guide, Guelph’s official guide to City recreation, leisure and culture programming. Inside this edition you’ll uncover many opportunities for you and your family to get involved – in sport, cultural pursuits or any number of outdoor or indoor hobbies. And this year, in addition to thousands of fall and winter activities to select from, we hope you’ll choose to be involved in two exciting planning processes underway at the City of Guelph. Your municipality is about to embark on a Master Planning process that will guide recreation, parks and culture through the next 10 years. At the same time, it is conducting a study to define a program plan and related facility components for a community centre in Guelph’s growing south end. Both of these studies are highly inclusive – in fact, they’ve been designed carefully to ensure maximum involvement from the community so as to yield programs and facilities that best meet the needs of Guelph as a whole. In the coming months, there will be opportunities to take part in public open houses, meetings and forums; attend stakeholder sessions; and, for some, participate in a random public opinion survey. We’re asking everyone to look toward the year 2020 and let us know what Guelph’s recreation, parks and culture landscape looks like. I urge you to take advantage of any one of these chances to become involved and ensure your voice is heard. I hope you’ll take part. Sincerely,

Ann Pappert Director, Community Services

Message from the Mayor

Celebrate the fall and winter with us We are fortunate to live in a community with such a great variety of leisure offerings and the climate to support so many fall and winter activities. There are hundreds of City recreation programs to suit you and your family’s interests and schedule. I hope this Community Guide will inspire you to get active!

We’d like to hear from you Over the next few months, we’ll embark on a Recreation, Parks and Culture strategic master plan and a South End Facility component study. Each will offer opportunities for residents to provide input. These studies will be led by Community Services, the department that brings you recreation programs, events at River Run Centre and the Sleeman Centre, community building activities in our neighbourhoods, and a great transit system to get you there.

Thanks for naming us your Readers Choice! Congratulations to two of the City’s recreation facilities – the West End Community Centre and Victor Davis Pool – for being recognized as Readers Choice award winners, voted by readers of the Guelph Mercury. These awards come as no surprise to current City recreation customers, who enjoy great programs and activities at moderate prices each season. If you haven’t been to one of the City’s recreation centres in a while, pay us a visit this fall to learn more about our awardwinning facilities. Sincerely,

Karen Farbridge Mayor

Get fit, feel good, have fun! Classes are grouped in one of three levels – mild, moderate, or challenging – according to fitness level and ability. Find out more about our Active Living PASS options to take advantage of cost savings!

What’s it all mean Mild classes are low-impact, low-intensity classes. If you are a beginner or returning to a fitness routine after an extended absence, these classes are gentle on the joints and emphasize correct technique and education. These self-paced classes are suitable for all fitness levels Moderate classes range between high and low intensity and impact. These self-paced classes are ideal for those who exercise regularly 2 to 3 times per week.

Challenging classes are mid- to high-intensity cardiovascular and muscular endurance classes. Most classes focus on balance, coordination and core stability. Ideal for regular exercisers.

Look for this symbol beside a class. It indicates that the class is included when you purchase our Active Living Plus Pass or Smart Start Pass.

28 Waiting Lists If your child cannot be placed in any of your class choices, he/she will be placed on a waiting list, in numerical order, for your requested level. When you receive a Waiting List Confirmation Letter, we encourage you to call 519-837-5699 and select an alternative class time. You may remain on the waiting list in the hopes of being contacted should new classes become available. Swimming Class Observation Parents are welcome to stay and watch their child’s swimming lesson from the following areas: Centennial – Observation balcony VRRC – East and north sides of the pool deck, observation windows and balcony on main floor. WECC – Viewing Gallery, observation windows in the main corridor Viewing classes from the pool deck is not available at Centennial and West End Community Centre. Instructors, Assistant Instructors and Volunteers All classes will be taught by a fully certified instructor (Red Cross or the Life Saving Society). Our instructors have spent over 200 hours taking courses and volunteering in Aquatic Instructional Programs to prepare them to teach your children. Two or three assistant instructors are assigned to programs each evening also. They are our future instructors and have spent over 100 hours preparing to assist with classes through courses and volunteering. The assistant instructors are assigned to classes that the supervisor feels would most benefit from their involvement. Volunteers also help with our programs. The volunteers are part of either our Advanced Leadership Program or our Volunteer Program and are training to become a future instructor. Questions or Concerns? A Pool Deck Supervisor is on duty at all times during our lesson programs. They are the lesson experts and are available to answer your questions and assist with any of your concerns. Do not hesitate to speak with Deck Supervisor immediately about your concern – please don’t wait until the last class! Your feedback is very important as it helps us provide you with quality programs and successful aquatic experiences.

First Lesson In our efforts to ensure that your child receives the best possible instruction, we ask that you bring your child’s most recent report card with him/her to the first lesson. This will help your water safety instructor tailor their classes to effectively meet the needs of each child. Progress Evaluation All participants in swimming lessons are evaluated on an ongoing basis throughout the session. Candidates who complete all of the required skills will receive a sticker or badge. Missed a Lesson? Unfortunately, due to the large volume of swimming participants, we are unable to make up missed lessons. If you miss the last lesson, you may pick up your progress report at Victor Davis Pool or West End Community Centre or Centennial Pool during operating hours.

Our trained staffs are able to assist participants at Victor Davis and West End into the pool with the use of the pool chair lift. Participants must be able to transfer independently from a wheelchair to our lift. One–to–one private swimming lessons are available during the day and evening programs.

Please Note: In order to register for private special needs swimming lessons, applicants must have a PAL card. PAL & LAC application forms are available at each community centre, from the Community Services Office or by calling 519–837–5625.

Adapted Aquatic Lessons This swimming program is designed for children with physical, developmental or communication disabilities who require specialized instruction in order to progress in their swimming skills. Each child will receive individual assistance from a trained swim instructor and volunteers. Registration is dependent on volunteer availability. Our warm teaching pool at Victor Davis is ideal for any child who performs better in a warmer environment. The shallow depth of this pool also encourages more active participation. The West End Community Centre has a warm therapy and a shallow leisure pool that is also conducive to active participation. Centennial Pool offers a quiet environment for individuals who participate better with less environmental distractions. A quiet swim is offered at Victor Davis Pool on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and at 2 to 3:30 p.m., and Fridays from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The West End Community Centre has a swim on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers or caregivers are admitted free with a PAL card.

Family Lessons Register all of your children’s aquatic lessons at one convenient time! Family lessons are programmed by their time rather than by the level. This allows families to attend their lessons at the same time. Please bring your child’s most recent progress report to the first lesson. Participants who do not have a previous report or are unsure of their level, will be screened and assigned to an appropriate level during the first lesson. Participants will be placed in classes with children of the same ability and age. NOTE: Each class may include two or three different swimming levels. Parent participation is not required. Low student to instructor ratios will continue to be maintained and all skill evaluations will be ongoing throughout the session. Whale participants will be taught with school age children. To help improve our program, and provide a better teaching experience for your child, parents must provide their child’s swimming level when registering for family lessons. Family lesson registration will not be available on the automated phone system (IVR).

Register all of your children’s aquatic lessons at one convenient time! Family lessons are programmed by their time rather than by the level. This allows families to attend their lessons at the same time. Please bring your child’s most recent progress report to the first lesson. Participants who do not have a previous report or are unsure of their level, will be screened and assigned to an appropriate level during the first lesson. Participants will be placed in classes with children of the same ability and age. NOTE: Each class may include two or three different swimming levels. Parent participation is not required. Low student to instructor ratios will continue to be maintained and all skill evaluations will be ongoing throughout the session. Whale participants will be taught with school age children. To help improve our program, and provide a better teaching experience for your child, parents must provide their child’s swimming level when registering for family lessons. Family lesson registration will not be available on the automated phone system (IVR).

Be a responsible pet owner The City of Guelph’s animal control bylaw was designed to restrict dogs from running at large in the city. A dog is “at large” if the dog is in a place other than the premises of the owner and not under control of any person. This includes trails, school yards, driveways, and other public and private property. What does this mean?

responds to voice commands, and is prevented from approaching within one metre of other animals and people.

In most areas of the city dogs must be on a leash and under control of their handlers. When on a leash, “under control” means the dog is prevented from approaching within one metre of other animals and people.

1 Pit bulls are not exempt from the provisions of the Dog Owner’s Liability Act (DOLA) or Bill 132 in leash-free parks. Pit bulls must be leashed, muzzled and under the control of their guardians in leash-free parks.

Where can dogs be off-leash?

Off-leash areas in the city

Certain parks in the city are designated off-leash areas1. Dogs must remain under control, even when in designated off-leash areas. When off-leash, “under control” means the dog remains close to its handler, (within sight and earshot)

Please refer to the maps for off-leash areas around the city. Dogs may also be off-leash on unoccupied sports fields from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. (September 15 to April 30) and 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. (May 1 to September 14).
