LEISURE GUIDE

604.927.PLAY (7529)

I hope everyone had a fantastic summer this year! Now that schedules are returning back to their regular routines of work, school and extracurricular activities, I am pleased to share the following information with you on what’s happening for the remainder of the year. This season, our recreation staff has done another fabulous job of offering a variety of programs. Working with our volunteer task forces, we have been able to provide various community-focused events and activities, geared for the entire family. On behalf of City Council and staff, we hope to see you at one of our programs and at our upcoming community events, such as the Terry Fox Hometown Run on September 20th and the Rivers & Trails Festival on September 27th. This year, I would like to invite all Port Coquitlam residents to join me and Mayors Mike Clay and Richard Stewart be part of the Terry Fox Mayor’s Challenge that we have issued to all Canadians to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Terry’s run! It’s simple; I am challenging every Port Coquitlam resident to raise one dollar toward Terry’s belief that “anything is possible if we try”. This means that Port Coquitlam’s goal will be donating $ 58,000 toward Terry’s dream of raising one dollar for every resident. We can do it Port Coquitlam and I’d like you to be part of seeing this dream come true!! In addition to all of the upcoming programs and events, our Council is also very excited about replacing the Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex to meet the future demands in our community. We encourage you to stay informed as we continue to launch the initial phase of this exciting new project! Further details about these and all other upcoming City initiatives are available on our website at www.portcoquitlam.ca. Sincerely,

Greg Moore Mayor

Fall 2015 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 volunteer

•

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 registration 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.

Fall 2015 Registration Note for Parents

AQUATICS

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. Alternatively, you may choose to retake the level for the fourth time at 50% the regular cost of the program. We also offer other programs that may be more suited to the needs of the child, including Performance Enhancers, Front Crawl Workshop and Whip Kick Workshop. 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.

Indoor Swim Lesson Dates @ Hyde Creek

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

This practice can actually be therapeutic for certain kinds of joint-pain as the long gentle holds can allow the joints to be worked in a safe and therapeutic manner that is simply impossible in a more active class. Because of the nature of the long holds it is a great time for inner-reflection and meditation as well as developing a deeper awareness of both the body and the breath.

Strengthening the 29 muscles of your core -- comprised of your stomach, back, hips and pelvis -- improves all functional movement, increases balance and stability, recovers posture and reduces the risk of falling. Without a strong core, other muscles pick up the slack to accomplish everyday movements, which contributes to injuries and reduces overall functionality. Change your body by improving your posture, building core strength and producing long and lean muscles. You’ll stand straighter, feel stronger and become more flexible. Students with a high level of physical fitness welcome. Wilson Centre 9778 W Sep 9-Nov 25 10:30-11:30am $44.51/$69.54
