Spring 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.

4

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

C

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.

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.

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.

Spring 2015 Adapted Aquatic TIDAL WAVE AQUATICS

Opportunities HYDROTHERAPY CLASSES

Port Coquitlam Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic offers advanced physiotherapy for the whole family from chronic pain and post-surgery to sports, auto and work-related injuries. A unique service offered is their hydrotherapy classes held Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:55am to 11:55am at Hyde Creek.

For more information, contact 604.945.6644 or visit portcoquitlamphysiotherapy.com

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 604.927.SWIM • 604.927.8400 • 604.927.7970

Full Body Stretch is a great practice for anyone who is ‘stiff’ looking to improve flexibility, to stretch their muscles out and to begin exploring meditation. In this class floor poses are held for extended periods of time with the muscles relaxed to allow gravity to work on the muscles, connective tissue, joints, and even the bones. This practice can be therapeutic for certain kinds of joint-pain as the long gentle holds allow the joints to be worked in a safe and therapeutic manner that is 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.
