Spring 2016 ACCESSIBLE RECREATION FOR ALL The City of Port Coquitlam Parks and Recreation Department has a comprehensive offering of tot, children, adult, seniors 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 everchanging 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 popovec@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

•

Our Leisure Buddies do not provide personal care, such as assistance with toileting etc.

•

It is up to staff discretion whether or not a participant can attend a program without support.

For more information on program support or Leisure Buddies, please contact Cierra Popove, at popovec@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-927-7974. Port Coquitlam’s 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.

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 enrollment. 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 administration fee of $5 for each individual activity withdrawal. Waitlists: If the class you want is full, get on the waitlist! Classes with waitlists may replace any classes that have been cancelled. 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 for participation in Swimming Lessons only on the dates and time 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 parental/guardian use of the facility before during or after their lesson.

For more information, contact 604.945.6644 or visit portcoquitlamphysio.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.

YOGA-STRENGTH & CORE CONDITIONING (19+ yrs)

Without a strong core, other muscles pick up the slack to accomplish everyday movements, which contribute to injuries and reduce 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 13521 W Apr 13-Jun 29 10:30-11:30am $48.55/$75.86

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.

Visit www.portcoquitlam.ca/leighsquare for up to date information on our current Artist in Residence, or to apply.

Raw, rugged and powerful - these abstract oil on canvas paintings capture the spirit of our West Coast environment. Druh Ireland creates paintings based on color temperature: neutral, warm, and cool - drawing inspiration from the gritty inner city as well as the surrounding wilderness of the natural world. Her paintings are mostly large “statement” pieces which speak to viewers on a visceral and emotional level.

May 2 – May 30, 2016 MINDFULNESS IN MAY YOUTH ART EXHIBIT: I HAVE A DREAM Opening Reception: Fri, May 6th, 2-4pm

In celebration of Youth Week and Mental Health Awareness Week, the Friends of Leigh Square Society are holding the second annual, juried Youth Art Exhibit. Students were given the theme “I Have A Dream” and encouraged to explore what this means to them. All mediums, 2D, 3D, video and written word, were accepted. Please join us for the opening reception, May 7th, where the winners of the competition will be announced.

June 2 - July 11, 2016 BILL EDMONDS

Opening Reception: Thu, Jun 2nd, 7-9pm The work of Bill Edmonds questions anonymity and the release of personal information. Initially while creating the work, random individuals who had indicated a common interest in art were contacted via social media, and then asked to send their image with the intent that Bill would paint them. Time saw him become increasingly suspicious that the photo had been sent by a Catfish. Bill employs a combination of media and techniques, making quick sketch style renderings by applying common house paint to Plexiglas.
