MAYOR’S UPDATE

Winter 2013

Season’s Greetings! 2013 has been a busy year as we’ve been celebrating our 100th birthday all year long honouring the City’s past, present and future. We kicked off the celebrations on January 4th with an on-ice musical performance by the Timebenders, a gala celebration on March 7th marking the City’s official incorporation, followed by an outdoor music and family festival during Homecoming Weekend. The good thing is, it’s not over yet! We invite you to join us on November 30th for a Centennial version of Christmas in Leigh Square and free public skating from 3:15 to 4:45pm at the PoCo Rec Complex for anyone wearing a sports jersey. The Centennial has been a great opportunity for our residents to learn more about where they live, to tap into our community spirit, and to celebrate what makes Port Coquitlam unique from other cities. And we have a lot to be proud of this year. We were voted as the third most livable City, updated the City’s Master Transportation Plan, began live web streams of Council meetings and adopted an Accessible Play Spaces Policy which will enable our goal to make all future City playgrounds accessible to people of all abilities. We’ve also begun planning for the future development of the Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex and surrounding lands. We’re committed to engaging the community in the recreation centre planning process so please stay tuned for opportunities to have your say. This is also the time that many of us review our own personal plans and goals for the coming year. I hope that you are able to take advantage of the great programs that are offered in this season’s leisure guide and make the year ahead a happy, healthy and active one! As always, to find out more about City events, activities and opportunities to get involved in the community, we encourage you to regularly visit our website at www.portcoquitlam.ca. On behalf of City Council and staff, we hope to see you during this wonderful season and wish you all the best in the year ahead!

Winter 2014 ACCESSIBLE RECREATION FOR ALL The City of Port Coquitlam Parks and Recreation Department has a comprehensive offering of tot, children and youth programs. We make every effort to make our programs accessible and inclusive to the entire community.

To ensure the safet y and enjoyment of all participants and staff we ask all parents read the following information.

hildren require additional support for a variety of reasons. Examples include, but are not limited to, Autism, physical or mental limitations, behavioural issues, aggression, language barriers etc. It is important to remember our program leaders are responsible for the entire group and cannot spend extended periods of time focusing on the specific needs of one child. Also important is our leaders do not deal with your child every day, so what may be routine for some parents could be extreme for our instructors. It is important to choose a program appropriate for your child. Our daycamps are active, often hectic, noisy active programs, which go for long walks, take public transit, interact in busy public settings and often have an ever-changing schedule. This type of program, is not appropriate for children who cannot cope with the program agenda. Leisure Buddies assist participants with tasks like focusing on the task at hand, re-direction, ensured involvement, explaining, assisting and group inclusion. Our Leisure Buddies do not provide personal care such as changing, toileting etc, nor can they administer medications. Parents registering children with needs in any of our programs are required to complete the Leisure Buddy Request form, available at any customer service desk or online at www.portcoquitlam.ca/access. Completed forms can be returned to any customer service desk or emailed to grisewoodc@portcoquitlam.ca.

•

Staff require 2 weeks’ notice to find an appropriate volunteers

•

Support is not guaranteed; if support cannot be found, the participant will have to withdraw or transfer to a more appropriate program

•

Support is very limited the first week of summer programs (July 2-6) along with Spring & Christmas breaks

•

Participants are eligible for up to 2 weeks of support; support is based on demand and available resources.

•

Participants are matched with a Leisure Buddy on a first come first served basis

•

It is up to staff discretion whether or not a participant can attend a program without support.

These sessions are for families who require/request support to understand the process and what can be expected from Leisure Buddy support. We will also discuss the Leisure Buddy application and placement process, who Leisure Buddies are, what they do, the focus of the program leaders, who should have support, etc… Please register with Customer Service at any Rec facility, online at www.experienceit.ca, or by phone, at 604-927-PLAY. For more information on program support or Leisure Buddies, please contact Cierra Grisewood, at grisewoodc@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-927-7974. Port Coquitlam’s Parks and Recreation Department offers an Individual Subsidy Program for those experiencing financial hardship. The program provides a maximum subsidy of 50% (to a maximum of $50) for one program or membership per person per quarter. The Parks and Recreation Department welcomes patrons of all abilities. Should you require assistance to participate, we admit your assistant or support person into our programs and drop in activites for free. Personal Assistant Subsidy applications are available from Customer Service. Parks and Recreation staff process Canadian Tire Jumpstart applications. For application criteria, visit http://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca. Jumpstart applications are available from Customer Service.

Get a building permit first!

Smoke alarms work, but not forever Having a working smoke alarm in your home can reduce your chances of dying in a re by more than 30%. However, over time, smoke alarms can stop functioning properly. Here are some tips to keep your family safe: 1. Install a smoke alarm on each level of your home, outside sleeping areas. 2. Replace all smoke alarms 10 years or older.

Getting a permit before you build, demolish or alter a structure is required by law and will protect your investment and its occupants – and your banker, insurer and realtor will also appreciate it. You need a permit to build, demolish, repair or alter most buildings, decks, mezzanines, retaining walls, garages, carports, secondary suites, swimming pools, plumbing, sprinklers, furnaces or structures. The right reasons to get a permit: • To meet requirements of the BC Building Code and the Building, Plumbing and Zoning Bylaws. • To save money - and ensure your contractor is doing the work properly. • To get good advice from the City’s helpful Building Division staff. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/building or call 604.927.5444 for more information.

New waste-loss tips featured on City collection trucks Have you noticed the new graphics on our waste collection trucks? They now feature tips from our 2013 Waste-Loss Challenge Contest contestants, including: • Get the whole family involved. • Get organized with handy sorting bins. • Choose products with less packaging. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/wasteloss for more waste-loss tips.

Free publications help you get the most out of your city

3. Install fresh batteries in all alarms when you change your clocks each spring and fall.

New City Info Guide This colourful new 32-page booklet provides practical information about the City’s services. Pick it up at City facilities or view it at www.portcoquitlam.ca/guide.

4. Test your alarm each month by using a broom handle or stick to push the test button. Schedule a calendar event as a reminder. 5. Keep a record of when you install and test alarms and replace batteries. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/fire for more fire safety tips.

• Put bins where the waste is produced. • Check plastic codes before recycling.

2014 Community Calendar Watch for your copy of the 2014 Community Calendar with the December 4 edition of the Tri-City News. It features information about City events and programs plus a pull-out waste collection schedule. Extra copies will be available at City facilities after December 6. The City has begun to prepare the 2014-2018 Financial Plan. Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/budget to find out how you can have your say about how your property taxes are spent and how much you pay.

Do you, or do you know someone who has had a lifelong fear of the water? Never learned how to swim as a child, and are too fearful now to give it a try? Beginning in December 2013, the City of Port Coquitlam will be starting its “Nominate a Non-Swimmer” initiative with the goal of inspiring those who are fearful of the water to enroll in swimming lessons. We will be sponsoring one non-swimmer by enrolling them into complimentary private swimming lessons. Our goal is to teach the nominee the basics of swimming so that they can safely jump into the water in the deep end, swim to the middle of the pool, and safety return. For more information on this initiative, and to “Nominate a Non-Swimmer,” check out our website at www.portcoquitlam.ca/pools. Begins December 2013

Registration Note for Parents

Please be advised that it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to register children in the correct level of our swim program. Instructors assess all students on the first day of lessons to ensure that they have been placed correctly. In the event that a child has not been placed correctly, s(he) may be permitted to transfer to an alternate level, based on program availability, at the discretion of the aquatic staff. If no spots are available in an appropriate level, the child may be withdrawn from the program at the discretion of the aquatic staff for safety reasons.

What you should know about Swim Lesson Registration: Not sure which level to register in? If you’re unsure what level your child should be registered in or it has been over a year since their last session, drop by for a FREE evaluation. One of our qualified instructors will assess your child and recommend the appropriate Red Cross level for enrolment. Not Progressing? If your child has been in the same Red Cross level for 3 lesson sets, within a 6 month period, and has not progressed to the next level, we will provide the child with one private lesson. We also offer other programs that may be more suited to the needs of the child, including Performance Enhancers. Cancelled Classes: A minimum of 48 hours before a class starts, lessons may be cancelled where there is insufficient registration. We will attempt to find space in the next available class or issue a full refund. Maximum Number of Registrations: Program participants can only be registered for 1 swimming lesson set at a time. You may register your child for the next lesson set only after the completion of the lesson set they are currently registered in. Your child may be withdrawn from a program(s) if registered in more than one lesson set per session, or if registered in future lesson sets prior to the completion of the lesson they are currently registered in. Waitlists: If the class you want is full, get on the waitlist! Classes with waitlists may replace any classes that have been cancelled. Combined classes: Combined classes are being offered in an effort to provide a greater variety of class time options to families. In order to avoid cancelling a class, we may be required to move your child to another time in order to combine 2 classes with low enrolment. Program fees: Program fees cover access to Hyde Creek for participation in Swimming Lessons only on the dates and time listed. Program fees no longer allow participants to use the facility before, or after their lesson. Parents/guardians are welcome to watch their children participate in their lesson; however, program fees do not include parental/guardian use of the facility before during or after their lesson. As space is limited in the pool area during swimming lesson times, all individuals wishing to use the leisure pool, and hot areas may do so for a fee of $2 per visit between the following hours: Mon-Fri 4-7pm; Sat & Sun 9am-12pm

TIDAL WAVE AQUATICS

Tidal Wave Aquatics is an exciting and unique program offered by Kidsfirst Physio. While the positive impact of physical exercise in the buoyancy and resistance of water is well documented, we have added an extra plus to our program. Under the personal supervision of Brenda Horton, B.S.R. P.T. (reg), MCPA, carefully trained youth assistants who work directly with the children in the water offer one-on-one ratio of assistance to each child. Each specifically prescribed pool therapy program is developed and maintained by Brenda, yet presented with the unsurpassable enthusiasm and energy of the youth. The benefits of this combination to those involved in our pool program are unmistakable. The unique socialization atmosphere provided develops a bond that makes the “therapy” even more fun, appealing, and valuable to the children. Participants must undergo a physical assessment to determine need and appropriate physiotherapy plan prior to approval for the program. For more information about Tidal Wave Aquatics or to book an initial assessment visit, contact Kidsfirst Physio at 604-463-7537 or email to info@kidsfirstphysio.ca.

Ever think that all that amazing junk in your garage, attic, back alley, yard sale, or recycling bin would make an amazing piece of art? In this program, you will have the chance to create one-of-a-kind art! Inspired to take discarded, unloved or broken things and make them beautiful, functional and give them new life once again. Using ink blowing, musical pages painted with acrylics, torn up old books with watercolours, decoupage techniques, splatter painting, and stuffed fabric creatures, we’ll make a whimsical array of junk into treasures that you won’t possibly be able to throw out afterwards.

Community Art Exhibits At Leigh Square Jan 16 - Feb 17

Feb 20 – Mar 31

Incubation: Phantoms in the Front Yard 2D: Painting and Illustration

How Nice to Have a Hobby: Danaca Ackerson, Deanna Fogstrom and Guest Artists 2D Painting and Multi Media

Opening Reception: Thu Jan 16 7:00pm Phantoms in the Front Yard is a touringartist collective, bringing together the work of Vancouver artists Michael Abraham, Jeremy Birnbaum, Paul Morstad, Marcus Macleod, Jonathan Sutton and Jay Senetchko, with Curator Pennylane Shen. Figurative art has become the phantom of the fine art world, haunting both Modernism and Postmodernism with its ties to a classical tradition, refusing to be dismissed, ignored or forgotten. Phantoms in the Front Yard boldly challenges the contemporary Canadian art scene to revive the human subject as muse. Incubation, the group’s latest collaboration of work, exhibits Phantoms in the Front Yard’s commitment to the human figure. Incubation,celebrates and questions our concepts of growth, development, nurture and progress, with one eye trained to their paradoxes.

This exhibition addresses the question of gender bias in the art world and was inspired by a statement many female artists are quite familiar with, How Nice to Have a Hobby. Featuring art by women referencing traditional women’s pastimes such as crafts, hobbies and women’s work and provides a critique of the human, social, political, economic, or environmental conditions that we all experience. How Nice to Have a Hobby explores the barriers to being taken seriously as a female artist, real or imagined, systemic or illusory with the hope to generate conversations about high/low art, art/craft, dilettante/artist, gender bias and the notion of hobby vs. profession.
