Spring 2019 LEISURE GUIDE

Mayor’s Update Spring is one of my favourite seasons. It encourages growth and beautifies our surroundings with all that it brings. Most of you are likely on your way to fulfilling many of the goals you made earlier in the year.

To help you meet these aspirations, this year’s Spring Leisure Guide offers a wide variety of programs and activities. Flip through the guide to find something that meets your needs or interests. Whether you are interested in joining a fitness program or sports team, taking an arts class or learning something new - we offer something for everyone.

Spring is also an opportunity to take advantage of our City’s renowned parks and trail systems. The sports fields will soon be busy with teams honing their skills and our parks and playgrounds will be filled with the sounds of kids’ laughter and people being active. I encourage you to get out and breathe in the fresh air.

To help make it easier for you to get around, you’ll see work continuing to improve our roads, parks and other infrastructure throughout our city. We will also continue to take steps to improve our downtown so that it remains the heart of our community and is a vibrant, clean and welcoming place for all.

I’m also excited to see the significant progress being made on our new 205,000-square-foot community centre being built in our downtown.

This new facility will bring enhanced recreation and other services to our growing community. We appreciate your patience with the construction impacts as we continue to provide services at the current facilities.

We also have many great events to look forward to in the coming months, such as May Days, the Farmers Market and the PoCo Grand Prix. We’re always looking for volunteers to help with all our events and encourage you to apply if you’re looking for a way to give back to your community.

Visit our City website, follow us on social media and check out this guide to learn more about upcoming events, programs and how you can stay active and engaged in our community.

Brad West Mayor

I hope you enjoy all that we have to offer and that this season is a jump start to a happy and healthy 2019!

Spring 2019 Our Commitment To Accessible Recreation Opportunities LEISURE BUDDY PROGRAM The purpose of the Leisure Buddy program is to provide support for individuals living with disabilities so they can participate in recreation opportunities offered by the City of Port Coquitlam. This can include, but is not limited to those living with physical, cognitive, behavioral or developmental challenges. The goal of a Leisure Buddy is to provide one-on-one volunteer support to program participants in an effort to create an inclusive recreation environment.

LEISURE BUDDY REQUEST PROCESS: •

If the idea of a Leisure Buddy interests you, please visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/leisurebuddy to fill out an application form. Hard copies of the form are available at the front desk of all recreation facilities.

•

Access Services requires at least two weeks’ notice, prior to the start date of your registered programs, to find an appropriate Leisure Buddy.

•

Participants are matched with a Leisure Buddy on a first come, first serve basis.

•

Spring, Summer and Winter Break camp programs require high demand for leisure buddies.

Participants are eligible for two weeks of Leisure Buddy support based on availability and resources.

•

Access to a Leisure Buddy is not a guarantee. If a Leisure Buddy cannot be found, Access Services will be in contact to discuss further options which may include withdrawal from the program.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THOSE APPLYING FOR A LEISURE BUDDY: •

We acknowledge that each participant is unique and are keen to learn the best approaches or techniques specific to your child so they can be successful in our programs.

•

When describing your child’s needs please remember what may be routine for you and your family may not be routine for our program staff.

•

Our program staff focuses on leading group activities and aims to provide balanced supervision for all participants.

The Leisure Buddy assists the instructor and participants by supporting those with one-to-one needs.

•

Your child’s Leisure Buddy does not provide any personal care including changing, toileting, feeding or administering medications.

•

We want to set all program participants up for success. When selecting a program, please consider the nature of the activities your child will be participating in. If you are unsure if a program is the right fit, please contact a program supervisor to learn more.

Spring 2019

* * * 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.

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.

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.

There is an administrative fee of $5 for each individual activity withdrawal.

6

WAITLISTS: If the class you want is full, get on the waitlist! Classes with waitlists may replace any classes that have been cancelled.

Please only sign up for one waitlist per participant.

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 Pool for participants in Swimming Lessons only on the dates and times 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 parent/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:

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.

Looking for a way to connect with your child while having fun and getting some exercise? Try parent and child yoga!

N A C

This allows your child to try out a program to see how they like it, or gives you time to work out, or time for yourself on a day that suits your lifestyle.

The cost of a drop-in is higher than the registered cost, as we believe children get much more from the whole program session but want to allow for a flexible program.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 1. Choose the program you want your child to try out 2. Check availability with our customer service team *if space available 3. Divide the cost of the program by the number of sessions and add $2.

This is your daily drop in fee 4. Pay at the front desk and then give your receipt to the program instructor 5. Remember to leave your contact name and number with the instructor for emergencies 6. If you choose to register or want more information about any program, visit www.experienceit.ca!

JUNE - AUGUST 2019 OSVALDO RAMIREZ CASTILLO

Jan - Apr JANUARY-APRIL 29, 2019 MICHAEL WRIGHT ART GALLERY MOUNT DELECTABLE MAT HOLMSTROM

Mat Holmstrom’s Mount Delectable is a glimpse into the ever expanding world of the artist with a body of work that includes works on canvas, paper and sculpture created in a rich colour palette and using metallic paints. Deploying both classic and contemporary subject matter Holmstrom reflects on themes of love, harmony, and joy, which reside, for the artist, in nature.

JANUARY-APRIL 29, 2019 THE OUTLET GALLERY THE ENDLESS BRAID CLARISSA ARGUETA

Clarissa Argueta’s colourful acrylic portrait paintings are inspired by her ancestral heritage, the indigenous civilizations in the Ancient Americas and contemporary Latin America. She is fascinated and deeply moved by the mysticism and symbolism found in Latin America’s idiosyncrasies, popular culture and folklore. Argueta holds an MFA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois in Chicago, where she graduated as a Fulbright LASPAU Scholarship grantee.

THE BOOKS OF LIFE AND OTHER CURIOSITIES VENUS SOBERANES

Using drawing as a vehicle for storytelling, Osvaldo Ramirez Castillo’s ongoing body of work is a constant revision of historical, cultural and personal experience. Osvaldo is concerned with issues of collective memory, historical trauma and transnational identity within a global context, explored through the possibilities of narrative. His art practice is an intuitive construction of memory as a form of personal myth-making that casts political expressions, voices modes of resistance, and most recently speaks to a process of re-construction and reconciliation.

Visit portcoquitlam.ca/leighsquare for more information on current and upcoming exhibitions.

Venus Soberanes’ series of whimsical art-object assemblages, books and shadow boxes inspired by themes of impermanence, memory, consciousness and dreams are installed in the glass display cabinets of the gallery. A visual artist, expressive arts therapist, jeweler, experimental filmmaker, published author and shamanic dreamer, Soberanes has exhibited visual art works, film and video pieces in international film festivals, as well as solo and group shows.
