Fall 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.

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.

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 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Colin Craig, an accomplished painter, long time Port Coquitlam resident and exceptional community volunteer, exhibits A Silent Voice, a retrospective of his development as an artist over the last forty one years. Inspired by the beauty of the natural world, and the passing of time, Colin captures what can disappear by painting it. Colin’s paintings are a moment in time, present or past to be preserved in an image for future generations. These moments are recorded by what Colin calls a ‘silent voice’, an artist that bears witness to the passage of time, but does not disturb it or attempt to control it.

Oct 30 – Dec 1 Influx and Exodus: Laara Cerman and Adrian Walker Opening Reception: Oct 30 7pm

Laara Cerman’s photography has developed from a love of literature and stories to creating photographic images evoking story. Inspired by Port Coquitlam’s landscape, Adrian Walker’s photographs, drawings and paintings echo another kind of quietness, one that captures the multitude of changes of landscape and “place” over time.

Leigh Square Sat, Nov 1 3-5pm

FREE

The work of Laara Cerman and Adrian Walker explores our current rapidly changing suburban landscape. They draw our attention to places that appear to be located outide the normative epweiences of the everyday through the medium of digital photography, drawing, and painting. In this artist’s talk, Cerman and Walker will be dicussing the role of Photoshop in contemporary photography; the prevalence and proliferation of digital images; and what makes digital photography ‘art’.

Under the tutelage of music director and conductor Mr. Andrea Kim, this community based choir pursues excellence in performance and celebrates a varied repertoire from classical to folk and pop. The public is free to watch the practice but to participate contact Mr. Kim at 604.949.1486. Everyone welcome! Leigh Square Th Begins Sep 11 10:30am-12:30pm
