Winter 2018 LEISURE GUIDE

Season’s Greetings!

As another year draws to a close, it is a time to reflect on and celebrate all that we have achieved and accomplished in 2017.

We started off the year by breaking ground on the construction of our new Recreation Complex. We also made progress on a number of capital projects, including road and water main improvements, new streetlights and bike lanes on Pitt River Road and McLean Avenue; construction of the new Blakeburn Lagoons Park; Centennial Pool rehabilitation; and a number of pedestrian safety improvements.

We also enjoyed hearing from our residents throughout the year on a number of important initiatives, including the 2017/18 Budget and on how we can better manage trees in our community.

We had a fun year of festivals and events that included a Canada 150 flavour to celebrate our PoCo and Canadian Pride! Our second year of the PoCo Grand Prix was even better than our inaugural year as we showcased our great community to the thousands that were in town. We also enjoy the sounds of piano playing in our parks throughout the summer months with our Pianos on the Street project.

The great news is there is still lots to do for the rest of the year. Including our Winter Artisan Market on November 24 and Christmas in Leigh Square on November 25. The CP Holiday Train will be rolling through Port Coquitlam during the last stop of their Canada-wide excursion on December 17. The train helps to raise cash and food donations for local foodbanks across the country. See the full listing of events in this Guide.

In the spirit of the holiday season and giving, I encourage you to take the opportunity to pay it forward in some small way, such as contributing to food and toy drives or helping a neighbour clear snow from their sidewalk. I also ask that you help reduce waste in our

community by giving the gift of experiences to your loved ones.

The holiday season is always a busy one, so the programs offered in this season’s leisure guide are a great way for you to take some time for yourself and stay healthy As always, to find out more about all City events and information, we encourage you to visit our website at www.portcoquitlam.ca.

On behalf of City Council and staff, we hope to see you during this wonderful season and wish you all the best in the year ahead!

Greg Moore, Mayor

• If you are unsure if a program is the right fit, please contact the Program Supervisor to find out more.

• To assist participants who require additional support we offer our LEISURE BUDDY PROGRAM. Our Buddies are trained volunteers, who have trained to help participants stay on task, be involved, make positive social connections and build strong communities.

• Our Leisure Buddies do not provide any personal care including changing, toileting, feeding or administering medications.

Experience It! REGISTRATION NOTE FOR PARENTS

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.

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.

This allows you to try out a program to see how your children 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 will get much more from the program if they sign up for the whole session.

How does it work?

1. Choose the program you want your child to try out.

2. Check availability with our customer service team.

3. Divide the cost of the program by the number of sessions and add $2.

This is your drop-in price for the day.

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.
