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.

A dog off-leash park is an ideal place where owners can take their dogs to run freely without a leash. However off-leash does not mean “out of control”. Pet owners must ensure their pets are controlled and not violent or aggressive. Pet owners must be onsite for the duration and must have a leash immediately available. In order to ensure the safety of you and your pet, when visiting the dog park: • avoid bringing toys and food to the off-leash area; • pick up after your dog and fill in any holes your dog digs to ensure a clean and safe play area and; • Ensure your dog has a valid license and current vaccinations. The two dog off-leash areas are located at: 3345 Shaughnessy Street 2501 Maple Street
