S

pring has sprung… although it took its time getting here! After two major snowstorms at the end of April and beginning of May, I think we were all getting a little impatient for warmer weather!

These are exciting times at The Glencoe Club. On June 1, we kicked off the Main Course renovation. I hope you were able to join us to bid farewell to the current Glencoe Ballroom. I was asked to wield the honourary sledge hammer to signal the start of construction. I should have spent more time in the weight room than on the squash courts!

The Board of Directors has appointed a Construction Committee to oversee the Main Course renovation. Two Board members are on it: Bryan Wright as Chair and Robert Birrell. It also includes two members-at-large with construction experience: John Manes and Blake Leew.

Both served on the Construction Committee for the successful West Expansion.

Management representatives include CEO Greg Lundmark, GM Jan Bloemraad and Operations Manager Dennis O’Byrne.

Dave Skaret from Target Project Management is Project Manager (and also on the Committee). This team reports to the Facilities & Land Committee, a standing committee of the Board of Directors.

Members have been very supportive of the project. The new food and beverage offerings will usher in a new era for The Glencoe Club. Much like the Café 29 renovation, we hope to upgrade all aspects of food and beverage services.

With the construction this summer, we’ll be without the West Patio, unfortunately.

However, you’ll still be able to enjoy a snack or meal outside. On the pool deck, the newly renamed 29 Degrees (formerly Lido) will have more seating and an enhanced

menu. Watch for pop-up Caesar Bars and enjoy live DJ’s on occasion. In addition, the Grille Room will be open seven days a week this summer. That means the Grille Room Patio will be open, too, letting you enjoy the outdoors while dining on a new menu featuring lots of tasty shareables!

The Valentine Volvo 2019 Western Canadian Senior Indoor Tennis National Championships, presented by Avenue Living were co-hosted

by The Glencoe Club and the Calgary Winter Club from May 8 to 12. Since the tournament started in 1992, there have never been so many participants, with 210 overall and 44 of them Glencoe members.

We capped the event with a banquet at the Glencoe on Friday, May 10.

The Glencoe Club and Calgary Winter Club also recently co-hosted the Mixed Doubles National Squash Championships. Eighteen of our members participated. Again, this was the best participation in a mixed doubles tournament in history.

Nominations for the 2019-2020 Board of Directors are due in July. Previous committee experience is helpful, though not required.

Board duty is an excellent way to give back to the Club. The time commitment means you’ll be busy, but the personal rewards are very satisfying. We encourage anyone who is also a Golf Club member to participate in the process.

I wish you all a great family summer enjoying the pool, the tennis courts, the golf course and all the other amazing facilities we members get to call home! A

Ron Newman President The Glencoe Club

THE GLENCOE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB PRESIDENT ’S MESSAGE

Another year of wonderful experiences begins!

W

elcome to spring and perhaps even summer! Having spent an absolutely beautiful afternoon on The Forest yesterday (as I write this), I’m reminded how lucky we are to have a course in good financial shape.

I’m sure many of you have heard of the trials of the Bearspaw Country Club. It’s now clear they will not be operating this year and the future of the course is unknown.

It’s unfortunate for the members and for the golfing community around the Calgary area.

I’m often asked why we’re not an equity golf course and I believe the Bearspaw experience provides some insight. Our initiation fees at the Glencoe go to capital improvements while our annual dues go toward regular operations. This allows us to make the improvements needed without calling on the members for capital assessments when the funds are not available. This is also why a healthy membership list and new members are essential for the Club to plan for the future.

Our Trial Membership program, offered only to The Glencoe Club members, was designed with this in mind. We’re pleased to be able to welcome those who participated this summer and hope we’ll be welcoming them permanently in the future. I spoke to a new member who is a self-proclaimed “numbers guy” who pointed out the benefit of our outstanding access to tee times. This will not change with our new members.

We’re very proud to have been awarded the Canadian Amateur hosting privilege for 2020.

Our staff, together with Tourism Calgary, put together a very impressive package. This tournament will highlight our stunning property and facilities as well as give us an opportunity to see some amazing golf on our home course. Cara Bonney-Barr will be the tournament chair and will be looking to fill many volunteer roles as the planning progresses.

The many and varied activities at the course are now underway. I hope you all find something that encourages you to meet some new playing partners and have some fun. I’m excited by the energy shown by the various committee members who, along with our great staff, are planning to make this yet another year of wonderful experiences. A

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S MESSAGE

Lily Chan (far right) with Mel Shannon, Al Chapman and Chris Davis at the ribbon cutting ceremony in 2016

Main Course After four years of planning and the Wall Breaking Construction Kickoff party, work has finally begun on the Main Course. Construction is always exciting! However, there will be minor disruptions. Management and the general contractor, Eaton West, will do our best to minimize these for you. Two phases of construction should ensure you’re still able to dine at the Club. Phase 1 is now underway. It involves the closure and demolition of the current Ballroom, West Room, West Patio, Solarium, Food & Beverage offices and the west portion of the Grille Room. The new restaurant, additional bathrooms, larger West Patio, Club Rooms and new kitchen are all scheduled to open in spring of 2020.

Phase 2 will then begin with the closure of the Grille Room, Sports Lounge, The Pub and main kitchen. The new kitchen and banquet room will open in late 2020.

Funds permitting, The Pub will also be renovated during Phase 2. During Phase 1, the Sports Lounge and The Pub will remain open and the current Grille Room 6 glencoe.org

will evolve into a new gathering space. There will be a hoarding wall in the middle of the Grille Room, making way for the new Club Rooms. The Grille Room space will still be accessible during Phase 1 construction with new cuisine based on a shareable menu.

The Grille Room restaurant and patio will be open seven days a week (weather dependent) from June 7 to September 2 and from Wednesdays to Sundays, fall and winter. The website will be updated with information as the project proceeds.

If you have any questions, please email maincourse@glencoe.org and we’ll make sure you get a timely response.

Coffee anyone?

In an effort to improve the quality and consistency of our coffee service in all the Food & Beverage outlets, the team is considering an update to our coffee program and/or supplier. To get your input on this, there will be a short member survey available from June 3 to 17. Please take a few minutes to fill out the Coffee survey.

Longest serving employee retires After 45 years of valuable and dedicated service, Lily Chan, Afternoon Laundry Supervisor, has decided to retire. Lily started with the Club as a Locker Room

Attendant on March 5, 1974 and is the longest serving employee at the Club.

To my knowledge, she’s also the longest serving employee the Club has ever had since it opened in 1931! Lily has seen a lot of change over the years and has maintained a great attitude and high energy right up to her retirement. She has always worked very hard behind the scenes to ensure members have had clean and folded towels and linen. I can’t imagine or begin to calculate the number of towels Lily has folded and washed!

Most memorably, in spring of 2016, Lily shared the stage in the ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of the West Expansion as the Club’s longest serving employee (42 years at that time). We’re happy for Lily, as she can now have more time with her family and enjoy other aspects of retirement. However, we’ll miss her very much. It won’t be the same without her. Lily, thank you so much for so many years of your energy, hard work and dedication to The Glencoe Club.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly at glundmark@glencoe.org. A

CLUB NEWS & EVENTS ERASE BULLYING DAY Thank you to everyone for supporting Erase Bullying Day at The Glencoe Club on February 27. All the gestures, big and small, showed that we stand up against bullying here. We pledged “to intervene, be kind, make people feel good, be role models, play with everyone and be brave when things get uncomfortable or tough.”

It was a very positive day with great energy throughout the Club. Staff, contractors and members wore pink shirts and pins. Teams and program participants discussed why it’s important to be kind and there were spontaneous, all-ages conversations throughout the Club about why it’s important for us to stand up and say no to

ART IN THE SPORTS LOUNGE We have installed more art in the Sports Lounge (on the adult side), by artist Sheila Kernan. Sheila grew up in Saskatoon but now calls Calgary home. She completed her BFA at Alberta College of Art and Design. She travels internationally, seeking out inspiration from scenes that range from large urban centers to remote mountain tops. Drop by the Sports Lounge and check out the artwork for yourself. More of her art can be viewed at sheilakernan.com

bullying. This year, we provided the opportunity for members to buy and wear the same shirts as staff.

They were excited to be part of our pink team, telling us they value the Club’s anti-bullying environment and want it to always be a positive place for every member and guest. Thank you to everyone who participated (no matter how much or how little), to those who helped create the day (from simple to extensive help) and to those who reflected on what they say and do and what they will say and do. It may be only one day a year, but it’s the reflection and the actions moving forward that’ll make the pink seeds we planted grow into a lasting legacy.

GOVERNOR GENERAL AWARDS ORDER OF CANADA TO THREE GLENCOE MEMBERS Three Glencoe Club members, Ron Ghitter, Joanne Cuthbertson and Charlie Fischer, were recently appointed to the Order of Canada, one of our country’s highest civilian honours. The Order of Canada was established in 1967 to recognize outstanding contributions made by civilians to our country. Since that time, nearly 7,000 Canadians have received the honour. The announcements of new appointments were initially made last December by Canadian Governor General, Julie Payette. There were official and not-so-official ceremonies (including a party here at the Glencoe) on May 27. Please congratulate Ron, Joanne and Charlie when you see them at the Club!

THINKING OF BECOMING A BOARD MEMBER? Here are seven things you need to know‌

1

BOARD STRUCTURE & ELIGIBILITY Shareholders of The Glencoe Club elect 11 Board members. Board positions are volunteer. There is no remuneration or reduction in dues or other fees. Directors are elected for three-year terms and are eligible for two consecutive three-year terms. In 2019, there will be three positions open for election. Shareholders are eligible to sit on the Board, but must be nominated by two other Shareholders. Nomination forms are accepted in advance of the Annual General Meeting. All nominations must be received at the Club by 4 pm, July 18, 2019 and any nomination received after that date will be invalid.

2

ONE BOARD, TWO CLUBS The Board members are charged with overseeing the strategic direction of both The Glencoe Club and The Glencoe Golf & Country Club, with revenues of $44 Million and assets of $123 Million. The Board is elected by the Shareholders of The Glencoe Club. Once elected, the same Board is appointed to be the Board of Directors for The Glencoe Golf & Country Club. It is required that the majority of the Board, a minimum of six of the 11, be members of both Clubs to form The Glencoe Golf & Country Club Board.

glencoe.org

3

TIME COMMITMENT The time commitment is considerable, but not overwhelming. There are approximately 11 Board meetings each year that are normally held on the first Wednesday of the month during the winter and the first Thursday during the golf season. Board meetings are normally around three hours, followed by a dinner. In addition, there is an annual full-day Board Orientation held on a Saturday in October and a January Board planning retreat, which takes place on a Friday and Saturday. Board members also attend functions during the year, such as the Staff and Member Awards for both Clubs, Annual General Meetings, the annual President’s Ball, the staff Christmas Party and various member information sessions.

4

COMMITTEES Each Board member sits on two of the four Board Standing Committees (Membership, Finance, Audit and Risk, Governance, Facilities and Land) and are encouraged to attend all meetings. Standing Committee meetings are scheduled the week before the Board meeting and normally last around 90 minutes. In addition, each Board member acts as the Board representative to a Sports Committee that meets approximately 10 times each year. The role on the Sports Committee is mainly one of communicating information from the Board to the Committee and from the Committee to the Board.

MEMBERSHIP

5

BOARD ROLE The Board’s role is to foster good governance practices that follow agreed upon governance principles. The Board focuses on results and outcomes (defined by the vision, mission and values statements), rather than day-to-day operations and provides strategic oversight of the Club. To serve as an effective governance body with oversight of the Club and its members, the Board plays four distinct roles: • Direction Setting Shaping the direction for the Club and leading and inspiring the Club in its pursuit of that vision.

• Strategic Planning Ensuring the Club’s leadership, resources and finances in place are commensurate with the vision.

• Strategic Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring the performance against the set direction and ensuring prompt corrective action when needed.

• Creating a Culture of Engagement To build and maintain a high level of engagement with the Club and its members.

6

CEO ROLE The Board is responsible for one employee only, the CEO. The Board and the CEO operate in a collaborative environment towards achieving the vision and goals of the Club.

The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Clubs. All Board authority delegated to staff is delegated through the CEO, so that all authority and accountability of staff is the authority and accountability of the CEO. The Board sets the desired outcomes for the Club and the CEO is responsible for the implementation of the Board direction.

7

HARD WORK BUT REWARDING Board work is not easy. It can be challenging and requires commitment and hard work. It is, however, very interesting, often fun and always rewarding. There is a great deal of camaraderie and members often form or strengthen lifelong friendships.

Volunteering as a Board member is a chance to exercise your passion for The Glencoe Club by giving back in recognition of what the Club means to you. If you’re interested, the nomination form is available on the website or at the Reception desk.

If you would like more information, please feel free to talk to a current Board member about the position. A

Jericho Tennis Club, Vancouver, BC

J

ericho Tennis Club enjoys a reputation among its members as one of Vancouver’s most exclusive—yet welcoming—private clubs. While visiting, you can lounge poolside or beachside, then enjoy West Coast cuisine in the restaurant. You can also take in tennis matches from the observation deck or spectacular views from anywhere on the property.

The Club, established for swimming in 1916, is now best known as a haven for racquet sport enthusiasts. It features 12 championship tennis courts, all of them covered with tennis bubbles during the winter months. There are also four international-sized singles squash courts. Every year, Jericho plays host to world-class squash tournaments, including the annual Sun and Surf Tournament.

AFFILIATED CLUB FEATURE JERICHO TENNIS CLUB 3837 Point Grey Road Vancouver, BC V6R 1B3 p: 604-224-2348 jerichotennisclub.com

Jericho’s clubhouse is an architectural landmark of glass and light on the shores of Vancouver’s idyllic Jericho Beach. Its oceanfront location is a spectacular setting from which to enjoy the water, mountain and city views that have made Vancouver world-famous.

Members enjoy aquatics and fitness in facilities that feature the latest stateof-the-art equipment and machines. They also have quick and easy access to kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and other water sports equipment for floating the calm, sheltered waters of Jericho Beach and English Bay. In the restaurant at Jericho, it’s a relaxed Vancouver vibe. The culinary creations and the view are both exceptional and so are Chef David Beston’s regional specialties. They use OceanWise seafood and fresh, sustainable ingredients like the produce from the Club’s own rooftop garden. The restaurant is a gathering place with friendly, seamless service. Cocktails and conversations flow and if you want, you can step outside onto a heated outdoor patio to linger, enjoying the uniquely West Coast ambiance.

Carol: Sherry Boyce, Linda Snow, most of the Badminton ladies. All ladies were friendly in badminton.

What’s your earliest memory at the Glencoe?

Carol: I remember being very excited at all the facilities available to me at the Club. I tried many activities to see which

Did you have any heroes or role models at the Club growing up?

What impact did they have on you?

Carol: Sherry Boyce is who I looked up to. She excelled in all the sports she took part in and was friendly to most players.

Doug: I also remember Ray Brett, then General Manager, asking me to help

him organize the first Icebreaker as he was new to road races. I helped him for several years.

Is there any place in this building that holds special significance for you?

Carol: Our two children enjoyed the outdoor pool the best.

What’s your funniest memory from the Glencoe?

Carol: Doug and I celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary in the dining room. We were the only ones there. We got great service.

Doug: Plus, badminton league.

Doubles. The bird was hit back deep to us. When I didn’t hear it being hit, I looked around just as my partner hit it… and me with his racquet!

Doug: It’s a great Club with great facilities.

What was the feeling you got when coming to the Club at that time?

Carol: We felt privileged belonging to this great Club and enjoyed meeting and sharing sports with new friends.

Doug: I moved to Calgary in 1954 to work after university and I couldn’t afford the Glencoe. I got married and we moved to Toronto in 1969 and back in 1974. By that time, I had moved up the ladder at work and could afford the Glencoe, so I joined.

If you could write a message to future members and put it in a time capsule for them to read 50 years from now, what would you write?

Carol: Take advantage of all the sports equipment and the help from staff.

Doug: Once you start working, save your money and join the Club! It’s great for you and your family.

Do you have the same feelings now?

Carol: Yes. Especially meeting and participating in new sports.

Carol: I’m proud to be a member and have access to such good equipment and meet new members.

Carol: The sports equipment keeps me in good shape.

Doug: The Club has allowed me to develop into a decent badminton player which I never would have done without the Glencoe.

Enjoy & share Chef’s new creations at the Grille Room

During the renovations the current Grille Room will evolve into a new space for members to gather. There will be a hoarding wall in the middle of the Grille Room, making way for the new Club Rooms. However, the space will still be accessible for Members during the renovations.

The Grille Room will be closed June 1 to 6 to put up the hoarding wall.

The entrance to the space will be via the current Alcove door. The cuisine style will be based on a shareables menu with a few handheld items. There will be interactive dining elements to this menu.

The theme of “sharing” will be the focus of the menu on weekdays with Friday and Saturday evenings featuring the option of a Chef’s Choice Tasting Menu. This will be a three to four course meal with optional wine pairings. Curated cocktails would be highlighted along with suggested beer and wine food pairings.

Prizes and lots of candy were handed out to all the athletes.

The Glencoe Ballroom was magically transformed into Hogwarts Castle for our Annual Awards Banquet. Thank you to the catering staff, the Creative Studio and Chef and his group for making it such a fun and exciting night! Skaters dined on Snape Hotdog Snakes, Arachnid Balls, Gryphin Legs and Luna Lovegood’s Cherry Jello.

Team Koe

2019 World Silver Medalists: TEAM GLENCOE! As a National Coach for our Men’s Curling program, I have one of the most rewarding jobs in our sport. I get to join our teams as they win national titles and prepare to represent Canada at the World Championship or Olympics.

Paul Webster Curling Director 403-287-4123 pwebster@glencoe.org

aving a Glencoe Club team victory is always a bonus and this year that happened with Team Kevin Koe winning the Brier and becoming Team Canada. Also, in the last eight years, the Glencoe has won 12 Provincial Championships, seven National Championships, one World Championship, one Olympic Gold and now a World Silver at the 2019 World Men’s Championship.

Team Koe is brand new this year with Skip Kevin Koe, third B.J. Neufeld, second Colton Flasch and lead Ben Hebert. Kevin and Ben were on the 2016 World Championship and 2018 Olympic teams and joined up with BJ and Colton to make another run at World and Olympic titles over the next four years. They’ve had a very successful year, although they ran into some adversity at the Alberta Provincial Championships.

They found themselves quite quickly on the ‘C’ side of the event and had to win five straight games for the title. Then they went on to win the Brier!

That brings us to the World Championship in Lethbridge (March 28 to April 7, 2019). I was joined on staff by our National Men’s Coach and Manager, Jeff Stoughton, 2011 World Champion Skip and legend of the game.

I met the guys at the Glencoe on Tuesday and Wednesday, prior to departing, for a couple of days of full team practices.

These sessions included newly-added alternate player Ted Appelman and Jeff.

At the World Championship, seven people are allowed out on the ice for pre-game practice. That might seem like a lot, but we have a lot to do out there! Most importantly, we get set to throw two measured stones that determine hammer for that specific game (hammer being the last stone of the first end, giving you a slight advantage beginning the game).

This collective measure, over the duration of the event, can also dictate your final placing and even knock you out of the event, so its importance cannot be overlooked.

SPORTS

Basically, our setup for Team Canada had me and Ted as designated sweepers during practice and Jeff as the broom holder at the far end.

Putting on the Team Canada jersey and heading onto the ice brought an entirely different mindset to the event. It’s probably best that I didn’t have to throw any rocks!

The event itself was a very successful one for Team Canada. Kevin, as Skip, was outstanding during the entire event and really kept the guys afloat. He had two of his highlight reel shots beat all other pro highlights as play of the day.

You really should Google it and see those shots.

Unbelievable!

After the 12-game round robin, Canada ended up in third spot with a 9-3 record, setting up a playoff match against Scotland in the quarter finals. With their backs against the

CARD UR $50 O Y E S A OF PURCH UMMER UN! FOR A S IO ARD F C R O O OUTD

CARDIO

wall, Canada played extremely well in the quarter finals and knocked Scotland out of the championships with a 6-5 victory. The tight games continued as Canada met Switzerland in the semi-final. Canada beat the Swiss with Skip Kevin Koe having to draw the four-foot ring in the extra end. It was another last shot victory and then on to the final!

The final was a very well-played game by both Canada and Sweden. It came down to one shot, a miss by Kevin in the eighth end that gave up a steal of two points and control of the game to the Swedes. There was some controversy in that end with a broken rock handle and a sevenminute delay before play resumed. I personally believe the delay changed the ice conditions prior to Kevin’s last shot. We’ll never know (frustrating, but that’s sport)! A

I’m proud to say The Glencoe Club is home to the 2019 World Men’s Silver Medalists. You should be proud, too. There’s so much great sports history here and these curling teams continue to help write it!

RECREATION & WELLNESS

OUTDOOR POOL RULES Welcome back to summer!

Please remember the following guidelines when visiting the Glencoe’s outdoor pool this season.

RECREATION & WELLNESS

1

CHILDREN SEVEN & UNDER When using our pool, children seven years-of-age and younger must be within arm’s reach of a caregiver* who is in the water with them at all times… unless they’ve passed our swim test!

If these children have passed the test, they don’t need a caregiver in the water with them. However, the caregiver* must remain on the same deck as the body of water the child is using (the junior swimmer can’t be in the outdoor pool while the caregiver* is using the slide or swimming inside). When young children ride the waterslide, their caregiver must meet them at the bottom to make sure they can sit up out of the water and get out of the trough safely.

FAMILY-APPROPRIATE SWIMWEAR FOR A FAMILY-ORIENTED FACILITY The Glencoe Club has a dress code that extends to the outdoor pool. Swim attire is required when using the pool, hot tub and/or waterslide. We require all members and their guests to choose conservative swimwear and suntanning attire for a family-orientated facility. If you have any questions about what this may mean, please approach our Head Lifeguard on duty for clarification.

Our pool staff is trained to answer your questions and address your concerns.

3

NO GLASS ON THE POOL DECK You can bring beverages onto the pool deck but glass and ceramic containers are not permitted. No beverages in glass bottles and no tea pots, please! Our staff at 29 Degrees can transfer your beverage into a plastic glass or coffee cup for you.

4

NO FOOD OR DRINK WITHIN ARMS-REACH OF THE WATER OR SET ON

THE FLOOR OF THE DECK The swimming pool deck is a very busy place. When you set items down on it, they’re almost always accidentally knocked over. Eating, drinking and swimming don’t mix: • Your food can get ruined with a splash of pool water.

• You might drop your food into the water, making the pool unpleasant for everyone.

Please keep food and drink up on the patio furniture, out of arms-reach of the water.

5

EQUIPMENT NOT PERMITTED IN THE OUTDOOR POOL Please save your water guns, floating mats, remote control toys and large personal inflatable toys for the lake!

The outdoor pool is very busy all summer and we want everyone of all ages to enjoy the space with no toy envy.

Crazy stuff our lifeguards have had to stop that’s simply not allowed: • The eat-my-bubbles game.

• The I’m going to stand on your back and hold you underwater game.

• Kissing tag.

• Shoulder-riding wrestle fights.

THE WAITING LIST The outdoor pool is popular all summer. On the hottest, sunniest days, a lot of people come down to the Club for sun and fun.

We have a new way for you to check if there’s a waiting list for the outdoor pool before you make the trip. Go to glencoe.org/programs/aquatics and you’ll see the status of the pools and waiting lists. Last summer the waiting list was only implemented six times from the May long weekend to September and all waiting was less than 15 minutes.

See you at the pool this summer.

Keep smiling, have fun and be kind to our lifeguards! A

Have you been Wibitized?

Have you seen the floating obstacle course set up in the indoor pool twice a month on Friday nights and/ or Sunday afternoons to provide variety, challenge and fun to members and guests?

W Suzette O'Byrne Recreation Manager 403-287-4180 sobyrne@glencoe.org

ibit was founded in 1996 by two friends in Germany.

Inspired by a water trampoline and LEGO, they designed and built a new, modular style of water park to reinvent the category.

The Glencoe Club started looking into Wibit in December of 2014. After getting the purchasing approval from the Board in 2015, the first part of our

This summer, be sure to include the Wibit in your plans and see how much fun it can be!

Wibit system arrived in September for staff training and procedure development. With an inaugural launch in October, regular Wibit days quickly became part of our members’ new indoor aquatic fun.

We started with a Wiggle Bridge, Wiggle Discs and an Action Tower. These modules test your balance in a fun, play environment.

The Tower includes a climbing section and a slide for doubles racing. We have since added Monkey Bars. The variety of modules means items can be rotated in and out, with different configurations. The current Wibit configuration takes two people one hour to set up and take down. We have two extra lifeguards on Wibit days to handle the supervision needed.

The Wibit is open to swimmers seven years-ofage and older who have successfully completed their Swim Challenge (lifejackets cannot be used with the Wibit).

It’s not just for kids, though! Many adults have been seen laughing and challenging themselves and others when it’s in play. In fact, members of all ages love the Wibit challenge so much it’s a draw to the Club on the days it’s offered.

Birthday parties and special events are often arranged around the Wibit schedule, too. A

The Wibit will be in operation on the following days: Friday, June 7 6 – 8 pm Sunday, June 16 1 – 4 pm Fridays, July 5 & 19 1:30 – 4:30 pm Fridays, August 2 & 16 1:30 – 4:30 pm

Private Swim Lessons You might know we offer swimming classes at the Glencoe for those cute little (junior member) fishes, but did you know we also offer different types of private swim lessons for both kids and adults?

Both junior and adult members can arrange private classes with us to start from scratch, improve skills or eliminate bad habits.

You might be struggling to earn an official swimming badge and want some extra instruction. Or maybe you have a trip coming up and want to ensure all members of your family (including you) are ready for open water or a scuba lesson! Private lessons are also great if you have a full schedule but still want to ensure you can fit swim instruction into the mix.

We offer two ways to book Private Swim Lessons:

1. LESSON SETS Classes run at the same time as regular lessons. Registration is available online and is for the full lesson set. Cancellations must be made seven days prior to the first lesson to avoid full billing. Cancellations of individual classes are not refunded or rescheduled.

2. ONE-OFF/VARIED LESSONS These are perfect if you can’t make every lesson within a set and have a flexible schedule. Lessons are booked by the Lesson Supervisor based on member needs and staff availability. Registration for One-off/Varied Lessons opens two weeks after group registration and is ongoing throughout a session. To avoid full billing, cancellations must be made 48 hours prior to each lesson.

Don’t hold off! Contact the Aquatics Office at 403-287-4137 and help us help you improve your swimming skills with private lessons!

Welcome Freya Sloane, our new Aquatic Director!

We are very excited about having Freya as part of the Glencoe team! With her she brings an extensive Aquatic background, which started at her home town pool on Vancouver Island.

There she began her aquatic career as a swim instructor, working her way up to an Aquatic Supervisor. Her life journeys brought her to Calgary where she has had the opportunity of managing a variety of Aquatic facilities, including The Calgary Winter Club and Westside Recreation Center. When Freya isn’t pool side, you can find her spending as much time as possible outdoors with her family and dog Maxx.

History of Glencoe Aquatics

38  glencoe.org

RECREATION & WELLNESS

When The Glencoe Club opened its doors in November 1931, a pool was not in the offerings.

It wasn’t until 1953 that the Board of Directors moved to raise $40,000 from the 2,030 current active members to build an outdoor pool.

L

il McKimm, who had been a Glencoe member since 1938 and who had always loved swimming, asked then-CEO, Stuart Aiken, how the fundraising for the pool was going.

When he let her know they had only raised half of what they’d need, she went into his office, sat down and wrote a cheque for the final balance owing!

With that cheque, the Club moved forward to bring swimming to the Glencoe. In October 1954 construction of the outdoor pool began and it was officially opened the following spring. It had two diving boards of one and three metres in height, underwater lighting, racing lanes and a well-designed heating and filtration system. A small wading pool was adjacent to the main pool and a cement deck, surrounded by spacious lawns and gardens, encased the entire pool. Apart from tennis and the lawn bowling greens, the Glencoe was almost empty during the summer months. With the introduction of swimming, however, a milestone was set, effectively bringing the Club into a year-round facility.

On January 9, 1962, the Glencoe was completely destroyed by fire. The charred remains of the swimming pool were the only thing left of the building. This time, as rebuilding began, consideration was given to doubling the swimming pool facilities and adding an indoor pool. The

new pools opened on June 25, 1963. In their first year of operation, 600 members obtained Lifesaving awards, learned scuba diving and gained certifications in all levels of Red Cross tests. A Glencoe Swim Team (ages seven to 14) began with approximately 20 participants. By the end of the first season, it had expanded to 75 racers. Today, approximately 1,400 juniors participate in Red Cross programming, Lifesaving Certifications and unique, new programs such as Mermaid School and Junior Lifeguard Club. The Glencoe Swim Team adopted the Gator logo and mascot in 1993. It now boasts 150 participants. Another 25 adults participate monthly in a Masters Swim Club. Aquafitness classes were added in the mid-1980s and now have more than 45 monthly participants and over 1,400 experiences each year, with more than 11 classes offered per week.

In 1980, the outdoor pool was replaced.

The new one was larger, with more deck space for members and a small, outdoor slide with an exit into the deep end of the pool. Interestingly, the slide was quickly replaced as slippery swimmers slid right off the side of it onto the pool deck. The next slide required significant work by the lifeguards to ensure participants did not land on top of other swimmers. The expansion project of 2016 brought a new outdoor pool, a heated deck and an outdoor hot tub. A large slide was also added. This one allows participants to exit safely while also increasing the ride time and fun.

Looking back to 1953, when Lil McKimm rolled into Stuart Aiken’s office and wrote that cheque, it’s no doubt The Glencoe Club hit a gusher. Since then, schools of swimmers and an army of parent volunteers have inspired one generation after another to earn a taste of aquatic victory. With talent as deep as a mine shaft and the continued devotion of a highly respected coaching and aquatic staff, the future of Glencoe swimming is more than assured.

FUN FACTS • The popularity of “swimming clubs” and pools did not occur until after the modern Olympic Games in 1896 and the first modern above-ground swimming pool in North America was in 1907 in Philadelphia.

• According to Ken Clarke, long-time Glencoe employee, it wasn’t until the late 1990s that the outdoor pool was opened year-round. Before then, the Operations Department would place large railway ties in the pool within the ice in order to minimize the movement over the winter (the pool would expand and shrink with our changing weather patterns).

• Barbara Widdowson, long-time Glencoe member, recalls: “One of my earliest memories of the Club is using the pool in the summer time. Before the fire there was only one pool, the outside pool. My mom would take my three siblings and me down to the Club on hot days and we would swim and hang out around the pool. There was one rub—the pool was adults only during the lunch hour! I can remember standing by the pool with all the other kids, anxiously waiting for the clock to hit 1 pm. When it did, we would get the go ahead from the lifeguard and all dive back in.” This tradition continues today but fortunately we now have two pools so just the indoor pool is closed to juniors for Adult Swim Time over the lunch hour.

Last year, The Glencoe Club hosted the first-ever Open Tae Kwon Do Tournament. Over 30 students from the Club and Energy Martial Arts Studio participated in the tournament’s various events.

These included Poomse competition, board breaking, kicking drills and sparring.

During this event, various aspects of Tae Kwon Do were put on display, including respect, discipline, team spirit, camaraderie and support for one another during competition.

Tae Kwon Do is a truly wonderful martial art with many benefits: Cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, strength, coordination, balance and discipline. It also helps relieve stress, anxiety and depression, especially in children. In addition, Tae Kwon Do helps practitioners develop good behaviours that carry over into other aspects of life. A

YOGA FOR RUNNERS

Stretches to keep you running long + strong

by Simone Hodgkinson, Group Fitness Director, Heavens at The Glencoe Club

Do you enjoy running?

After a fabulous run, do you treat yourself to a wonderful, fullbody release or finish with a couple of quick stretches? The quality of your next run will be affected by what you do after the current one.

Taking five minutes to realign properly can keep you running injury-free, long and strong!

T

he average runner often complains of tight calves and hips, sore shoulders and often lower back pain.

Do you? Why do all runners share similar pains and discomforts?

Here’s why. The action of running is predominantly forward flexion with a bit of rotation. The flexion mostly involves your ankles, hips and shoulders. The problem is the flexion pulls you forward, which is great when you’re running with somewhere to go! Long-term, though, repeated forward flexion will have a negative impact on your posture as well as the health of your hips and shoulders. It can lead to serious pain.

Any repeated motion in one plane or in one direction will lead to imbalances.

These will affect posture and eventually cause pain and discomfort.

42 glencoe.org

2

Your body isn’t designed to move in just one plane. You’re built to move multi-directionally and that’s how you’ll function best. Your hip and shoulder joints are freely moveable and designed for flexion/extension, abduction/ adduction, rotation and circumduction.

They’re the most moveable joints of your body and if their mobility is compromised, it will directly impact the structures above and below (your shoulders impact your neck and thoracic; your hips impact your lower back and knees).

Running is predominantly flexion, with your joints moving through one plane of motion. As a result, the longer and more often you run, the greater the negative impact on your posture and joint alignment if you don’t stretch properly.

If you’re a runner, what you need are a few good stretches­—performed in a time-efficient manner—to combat the negative effects of running and flexion. If you can keep your joints fully mobile in all directions and keep the front and the back of your body in postural balance, you’ll be pain-free and can continue to pursue your love of running.

Try these concentrated yoga poses (holding each for 15 to 30 seconds) to keep running long and strong!

1. Downward Dog (at wall, full body stretch) • Start by kneeling on all fours with your hands at the wall, thumbs and index fingers pressed into the wall, hands turned out slightly.

• Keep your hands apart shoulder-width and your feet apart hip-width.

• Lift your hips to the sky and press your chest towards your knees.

• Straighten your legs and your heels will lower towards the floor (but will probably not touch it).

The Right Ways to Stretch!

Glencoe therapists can show you how to lengthen and strengthen your muscles.

M Alex Greaves Massage Therapist 403-287-4174

Stretching is one of those activities that, like other forms of preventative body maintenance, is often underutilized. If you stretch appropriately, you can prevent pain and injury. However, if you target the wrong muscle groups or use the wrong type of stretching, you can actually increase the likelihood of injury.

ost stretching is beneficial, but every type has its downside.

This article compares the most common forms of stretching— static, dynamic, active isolated (AIS), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and eccentric/resistance—and explains the pros and cons of each technique.

Static stretching This is the most common method.

You passively lengthen your target muscle until you feel a barrier, then hold the position from 10 seconds to two minutes or more. Static stretching is easy to perform, has been proven to stretch non-contractile tissue (fascia, tendons and joint capsules), increases your stretching tolerance and (when used appropriately) can increase the activity of underused muscles. Static stretching, however, does have its negatives. It’s inefficient compared to other techniques, sometimes taking weeks before you see any increase in tissue length. Also, if you perform static stretches before exercise, or perform them excessively, your athletic performance can suffer. This is due to a shift in the positioning of contractile proteins in the muscle. The passive aspect of static stretching typically causes you to experience weakness at the end of your range, which increases the likelihood of injury.

Dynamic stretching Dynamic stretching is when you actively take your target muscle into its end

48 glencoe.org

range in a controlled manner, then immediately come out of the stretch, repeating multiple times. This technique is typically used before exercise as a way to warm up your tissues and lubricate your joints. Dynamic stretching prepares your body for joint positions and stresses it might encounter during an activity, thus decreasing the likelihood of injury. It also causes slight potentiation (increased recruitment of a muscle due to its nerve pathway being used previously), resulting in improved athletic performance.

Dynamic stretching does not increase tissue length, so even though it’s a form of stretching, it will not improve overall flexibility.

Active isolated stretching (AIS) AIS combines static and dynamic stretching. You actively take your muscle into its lengthened end range, then hold this position for two to five seconds.

The muscle is actively shortened as it comes out of the stretch. AIS has all the benefits of dynamic stretching, but it can also increase the length of the targeted tissue over time. By actively taking the tissue into a stretch, the muscle spindle cells (proprioceptors that prevent overstretching) are down regulated, resulting in an immediate increase in available range of motion. Unfortunately, AIS can be challenging to perform by yourself, often requiring an experienced stretching practitioner to assist in the movements. With most of the increased range coming from proprioceptive changes, the increase is not long-lasting.

RECREATION & WELLNESS

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) PNF is seen as stretching’s gold standard.

There are multiple ways of performing PNF stretches, but you typically take your target muscle to its first barrier, where it (or the opposing muscle group) contracts for five to 15 seconds. Upon relaxation, the muscle is then taken to its new end range and held for about 30 seconds. This is repeated multiple times.

With as little as one PNF session, you’ll often experience a noticeable increase in your available range of motion. Due to the contraction of the muscle at its end range, strength is maintained, decreasing the likelihood of injury. PNF is very challenging to perform without the assistance of a professional. It also primarily targets the non-contractile tissue, meaning muscle tension will not be fully addressed.

Eccentric/resistance stretching Eccentric/resistance stretching is not commonly talked about. It’s actually part of our typical motions, though.

The eccentric phase is when your muscle contracts while it lengthens (when you lower yourself onto a chair or place weights on the floor, for example).

During stretching, you slowly lengthen your muscle against resistance while exploring the full range of motion. You don’t hold the stretches at their end range for extended periods of time. Changes in the tissue occur through repetition of the motions. Recent studies have shown that eccentrically-loaded tissue drastically increases in length and strength. As a result, it’s commonly prescribed by therapists to resolve overuse injuries such as tendonitis. Eccentric stretching increases the number of contractile proteins available in the muscle, leading to the increases in length and strength.

Similar to PNF stretching, the results are typically instant and they last much longer than those attained through other forms of stretching. Unfortunately, eccentric stretching is challenging to do solo, usually requiring the help of a trained therapist. Also, performing resisted muscle contractions can make you sore! Don’t let that stop you, though.

It’s like the good pain you get from a workout.

Looking to start a stretching routine?

Book a session with one of our therapists.

They’ll show you how to stretch muscles that are short and tight without over stretching those that are already too long.

They’ll also prescribe the techniques that best suit your needs, ensuring you get the best possible results without risking injury. A

TIPS FOR TOES Get your feet looking and feeling fantastic for summer!

Sandal season is here. It’s time to pamper those toes for optimal performance! Let us help you get your tootsies looking and feeling great right here at the Club. Here’s a list of services that can help you restore wellbeing and style to your feet for the summer.

Your foot is a very intricate part of your body. It has: 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 29 muscles, all of which appreciate tender, loving care.

Medical pedicure It’s the perfect way to treat your feet to much-needed care and attention. It’s also an opportunity to sit back and relax.

It complements medical treatments by preventing foot disorders and can be a helpful support in healing. It’s the ultimate in luxurious foot care. Our Medical Pedicure is performed by a highly-skilled footcare specialist who combines podiatry with nail care. Unlike regular salons, our professionals are trained to examine and treat foot and toenail challenges using technologically-advanced equipment.

Reflexology Reflexology follows the ancient Chinese belief in qi (pronounced chee), the vital energy that’s believed to flow through each of us. The belief is that when you encounter stress, qi is blocked.

This, in turn, can cause imbalances in your body that may lead to illness. Reflexology aims to keep qi flowing through the body. The theory behind the practice is that areas of your foot correspond to organs and systems in your body. Pressure applied to your foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the specific area of your body that’s suffering. Reflexologists use maps of these points in the feet, hands and ears to determine where they should apply pressure.

Thai Foot massage (a reflexology practice) It works on principles similar to those used in all forms of reflexology, covering your feet and lower legs. It involves hands-on massage and stretching techniques that open the Sen energy lines.

Barefoot training Explore the benefits of working barefoot and learn why it can be beneficial in some training (even though shoes usually provide the support and shock absorption needed for optimal performance). We’ll help you understand the function of the human foot and teach you tools to improve balance, decrease pain, increase post-surgical success and promote movement efficiency. Our barefoot therapist uses some of the latest technology in foot care and rehabilitation, from toe spacers (Correct Toes) to specialized mats and shoe inserts (Naboso).

Foot-to-core sequencing is beneficial for every client, patient and athlete. Whether the goal is to improve performance, correct movement disfunction or lose weight, barefoot training can be the difference!

Not sure how to get started? Go ahead—put your best foot forward! Contact Jessica, our Wellness & Lifestyle Director, at 403-287-4178 or jpowercyr@glencoe.org A

It’s a beautiful day. The sun is shining and you’re craving a workout. Why not take it outside to the stairs, boost your burn in less time and get some Vitamin D! Stair climbing is one of the most effective ways to work your lower body while building cardio endurance.

A

regular stairs workout can increase your VO2 max (the volume of oxygen your body uses during exercise) and boost your metabolism so you burn more calories in less time. Stairs not only kick your bottom, they firm it like nothing else!

When you walk or run on flat ground, your glutes are taking a bit of a nap. It’s when you have to dig in and step up that they fire.

Stairs work best because the flat landing spot of each step causes you to strike with your midfoot, not the ball of your foot.

Plus, you use your whole leg, not just your calf, to push off.

The Glencoe stairs have 18 landings (flat platforms) on the way to the top.

In these workouts, we don’t expect you to do all 18 landings. You’re welcome to try, though!

52 glencoe.org

• If doing a stairs workout is new to you, start with two to four landings and try to add one or two more each workout.

• If you’re active regularly and consider yourself in very good shape, start with seven to nine landings and add two or three more each workout.

1. WARM UP Take five to 10 minutes to prepare your body for the workout. If you plan to walk or run the stairs, your warmup should complement your workout.

Stairs safety Good balance is really important for any stairs activity. Before starting any type of stairs exercise, make sure you’re steady on your feet. We recommend that you’re able to stand on one leg for 45 seconds without holding onto something.

2. WORK OUT

Why is cardio so important?

a. Suicides on the stairs • Begin at the base of the stairs.

• Walk or run up to the first landing and immediately come back down.

• Once back at the bottom, turn around and walk/run to the second landing.

• Continue this pattern until you’ve reached the top or achieved your goal.

Engaging in regular, sustained physical activity—especially cardiovascular training— can extend your lifespan.

Research has confirmed that a strong cardiorespiratory fitness level can help you live longer.

RECREATION & WELLNESS

b. Jump squats to the landing • Begin at the base of the stairs.

• Lower your body into a squat position then explode up, landing on the step above. Use your arms to help propel you to the next step and squat as deeply as you comfortably can to ensure proper power production and so you don’t get your foot caught on the stairs.

• Repeat the jump squat on each stair until you get to the landing, then rest 30 to 90 seconds until you feel like you can safely jump squat to the next landing. c. Repeater knees to the landing • Begin at the base of the stairs.

• Step up to the first stair and balance on one leg.

• Draw the opposite leg towards your chest, then immediately drive it back.

• Repeat as quickly as you can three times and step up to the next step.

• When you get to the landing, perform 10 split lunges.

• Continue to the next landing or take a break.

3. COOL DOWN Take five to 10 minutes to allow your body to cool down. The simplest way is to walk around the parking lot. The goal here is to allow your heartrate, blood pressure and breathing rate to return to their pre-exercise counts.

2b

Stretch, incorporating the stairs Hold each stretch 10 to 30 seconds (or longer) and repeat one to three times, depending on how tight you are. Because this is primarily a lower body workout, that’s the focus of the stretching. You’re welcome to add more upper body stretches.

Laws of Duplicate Bridge

by Nancy Klym, Bridge Instructor

As in all competitive undertakings, there are rules and understandings that govern the game of bridge. These rules, Laws of Duplicate Bridge, were revised in 2017 to reflect the changes that have arisen as bridge is played throughout the world, both in tournaments and on the internet.

T

here are 93 formal laws, each with numerous subsections. Applying the correct ruling is the role of the Director.

The Laws cover every aspect of the game. They deal with partnership understandings, etiquette, when a card is deemed to be “played” and what a Director can do to remedy a situation where an inequity has occurred. It is important to call the Director whenever an infraction arises. At the club game, there are three infractions that occur at almost every game.

The first common infraction is an insufficient bid. Under the Laws, one does not simply make it sufficient.

54 glencoe.org

The first question the Director will ask is was the insufficient bid a result of a mechanical error—the thumb or finger simply didn’t catch the right denomination. If it is a slip of the finger, not the mind, the bid can be corrected immediately and the auction continues.

However, when the bid has occurred as a result of inattention, the first option falls to the left hand opponent who may accept it. Whenever an insufficient bid is not accepted, it must be replaced by a legal bid. If it is corrected by the lowest sufficient bid in the same suit or by a comparable call, the auction proceeds normally. The insufficient bidder also has the option to make any other legal call, except double. If this option is chosen, his/her partner must then pass for the rest of the auction whenever it is his/her turn to bid and lead restrictions may apply.

have a card in that suit). Everyone revokes at some time during their bridge career.

Players become so focused on what they are going to do next, they miss playing the proper card. A revoke is established when either the person who revoked or their partner leads or plays to the next trick. To prevent revokes, the Laws allow you to ask your partner whether or not they have the suit. This is an important habit to develop as the consequences of a revoke are quite severe.

The second common infraction is an opening lead out of turn. There are five options in this case. Declarer can accept the lead and see the Dummy before playing a card from his/her hand; become the Dummy (an often popular choice) and have partner play instead; forbid or command the lead of the suit by the correct person on lead allowing the person who led out of turn to return the card to his/her hand; or allow the correct person on lead to lead anything he/she wants in which case the card led out of turn becomes a major penalty card.

The third common call at a club game is a revoke (not following suit when you

The Laws also require that partnership agreements be shared with opponents.

Because there are only fifteen words in the bridge vocabulary (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, club, diamond, heart, spade, No Trump, pass, double and redouble), a bid can change meaning with usage. There are standard understandings of what each bid means and whenever this understanding changes, the opponents must be notified through an alert. A proper explanation of what the bid means must be supplied. If the opponents fail to provide the proper explanation, penalties are applied.

Laws governing revokes are complicated.

There can be no revoke at Trick 12 or 13. Dummy may only draw attention to a revoke at the conclusion of play of the hand. The penalty depends on what happened once the revoke occurs. The Director’s input into adjudicating this issue is imperative.

RECREATION & WELLNESS

Nevertheless, bridge players are human and we sometimes forget our agreements.

If your partner has forgotten to make an alert and you are defending, you must wait until completion of the play to notify the opponents. If you are declaring, you must notify the opponents before the lead is made. If you don’t know, don’t be helpful, simply say “undiscussed”.

Bridge is a zero tolerance game. There are numerous laws governing conduct and etiquette at the table. Respect is important and needs to be accorded to all players. Discussion about hands should never occur at the table and extraneous comments during the auction, which begins when the cards are removed from the board, are a violation of proper procedure. It is evident from the noise level, that this law is not well known.

Directors are the umpires or judges regarding the rules of bridge. They interpret and enforce the Laws. They need to be called whenever a suspected infraction occurs. Players should never be embarrassed to call the Director. Directors are the people who ensure fairness and equity.

Should you have more questions regarding the Laws, please feel free to speak with the Director after the game.

The Laws of Duplicate Bridge are online and most Directors carry them at all times. Like all legal decision, rulings are challenging. The American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) has a column each month about various interpretations of the Laws and also has a website rulings at acbl.org where you can ask questions or seek information.

Anouk Dooyeweerd Preschool Supervisor 403-287-4193 adooyeweerd@glencoe.org

Children thrive on the attention provided by parents and loved ones. They tend to develop the behaviours that are modelled as guidelines and expectations for them.

Helping children understand the impact of their thoughts, words and actions is the first step toward

ensuring their future wellness. And if we teach them to look for the positive in each situation from a young age, they’ll be more likely to excel, having healthy and successful lives as adults.

bad, sad or angry, they can learn to embrace the happiness and excitement of being understood by people who have been there themselves. This will help them build a positive mindset.

Children need to learn to get up again when they fall. We can tell them: “If you’re brave enough, although you might often fall, you’ll also find success.” Both children and adults need to be prepared for hard landings. This will give them the courage to risk falling in order to achieve the results they want. Encouraging and recognizing the effort—not always the outcome—can help give children this courage to keep trying.

Children need to be set up for success with realistic expectations. This will help them strive for goals in life that are achievable. They need to feel safe, with familiar guidelines. And they need positive encouragement to make choices and to put in effort. Expectations regarding their behaviour should be showcased (or modelled) in their environments. They must learn to accept responsibility for actions and outcomes.

Children who become comfortable putting effort into something where there’s a risk of failure are more likely to reach success. Learning to deal with failures while enjoying successes will help children build a positive mindset about their futures. A

We need to acknowledge children’s emotions. By letting them know it’s okay to feel anger and sadness, we can help them feel human and connected. They can then refocus on this silver lining (someone understands their emotional response). In situations where they feel

Lazy days sitting out on the pool deck in the sun sound good, right? There’s a dark side, too, though. You might be taken away from your friends and from the place you know, bouncing home in someone’s gym bag, then dumped and forgotten in the depths of a closet. This is not good. It means you’ll never get to live out your life purpose as a towel, helping homeless animals and more!

leadership book club was launched recently for employees at The Glencoe Club.

We read a book every couple of months. Then Stéphane Bohémier we each write an IT Technician executive summary 403-287-4149 and participate in sbohemier@glencoe.org a group discussion about what we got out of it. We’re currently on our fourth book but I want to refer to the second book we read, called The Power of Moments by Chip and Dan Heath.

The authors describe defining moments as short experiences that are both memorable and meaningful. They also talk about missed opportunities, urging us to turn pit moments into peak moments. This had me wondering: “Are we missing opportunities at The Glencoe Club to create those peak moments?”

Immediately after finishing the book, I knew there was an opportunity to create something special, so I shared an idea with other members of the book club. The idea was to organize a group of employees that would create special moments for members, guests and staff. This would keep our mission “Creating exceptional experiences” and our vision “To be our members’ second home, providing excellence in all that we do” in focus.

The feedback was positive and the idea kept moving forward to where we’re at

today, officially launching the Club’s newest committee: The Glencoe Dreams Team. We’re a group of employees from the downtown Club and the Golf Club who’ll put a spotlight on creating extraordinary moments.

In these early days of the Glencoe Dreams Team, we’ve already created peak moments for a couple of members.

We’ve also seen BIG smiles on the faces of the employees making these moments happen. I can say for certain the initiative has had a positive impact on everyone that will last forever!

How to get involved We get together as a group and brainstorm ideas for peak moments, pick the winners and make them happen! You might be asking yourself how you can get your idea in front of us. Good news: We’re setting up wishing wells downtown and at the Golf Club. The idea is that you’ll have a place to drop off suggestions. Maybe a fellow member or employee is going through a rough time and you’d like us to lift their spirits with a positive moment.

Or perhaps someone you know has a bucket list item we could help cross off (for good reason). If you don’t want to leave suggestions in the wishing wells, you can also email your ideas to dreamsteam@glencoe.org We’ll sort through whatever we receive and… you never know! Your suggestion might be the one we move forward with next. Speaking on behalf of the group, I can say we’re very excited about this committee and we look forward to creating extraordinary moments with you. A GLENCOE LIFE

EMPLOYEE PROFILE

GET TO KNOW...

Franki Race Head Lifeguard/ Swim Instructor How long have you worked at the Glencoe and what enticed you to apply for a job here?

I’ve worked here since the end of February 2019. I really like that there is an outdoor pool.

What’s your favourite aspect of your current position?

I love teaching little kids and watching the kids that regularly come to the pool discover new things and improve their swimming.

Tell us more about what you do as a swim instructor and a lifeguard.

I get to play games and sing songs with kids as they discover their love for the water. We also get to teach water and pool safety which will stick with kids all their lives (we hope). We teach kids and adults the basic foundations of each stroke and then how to put each skill together into strokes. From there we aim to improve endurance, technique and form.

Lifeguarding is making sure the pool is safe to enjoy. We make sure there is room to swim and toys to play with. We, as lifeguards, are also there to help in case something becomes unsafe or someone gets hurt. We do a lot of training specific to aquatic environments since they have an additional level of risk with the water compared to other environments.

What do you like best about working here?

I like the diversity of the members and the people I work with. Everyone has such a different story and it’s cool to meet so many people with different experiences.

Do you have a standout experience or interaction from members that you would like to share?

I taught two little boys swimming lessons during my first few shifts at the Glencoe and they still remember me and say hi every weekend when they come swimming with their family.

What’s your education and training background?

I just finished my fourth year at the University of Calgary studying Energy Science. I am originally from BC and I was trained there, starting when I was 12. I have been a certified lifeguard for five years and a swim instructor for six.

I am also a certified waterpark lifeguard and Aquafit instructor. I have been in the aquatics industry for six years but did supporting courses prior to that.

What are the values that drive you?

Honesty, teamwork and respect.

What core Glencoe value speaks to you the most and why?

I like relationships. There are members who come into the pool regularly and I like learning their names and getting to know them. It’s also super nice when they remember my name. I have not worked regular shifts but I am slowly getting to know more members. A

“Joining the Aquatics team was awesome.

I’ve never felt more welcomed and part of a team so quickly before.

It was super and I love my fellow guards. They do a fantastic job!”

What’s your favourite quote?

“Treat others the way you would like to be treated.”
